“Full Tilt”

Here is my entry in the 21st Rotary Cartoon Awards… a national/international competition hosted once again at the Bunker Gallery in Coffs Harbour. The Awards are a bit of a big deal in the cartoon world with entries accepted from both amateur and professional cartoonists worldwide.
I had two entries ready… but upon (erroneous) advice that captions were disallowed… I didn’t send the second one. Foul play? No I don’t think so (grin) I should have read deeper into the fine print of the entry form to learn that captions were disallowed in the International section only. So I could have sent the other one as well. Ha! Oh well.. c’est la vie.
Originally this was going to be “Climate Change – Full Tilt” (avec captions) but turned out being plain old “Full Tilt” because that’s all I could fit into the toon after the fact! Never mind… I think the gag stands quite well on it’s own two feet as a humorous ‘take’ on the irony of weather in this Great South Land over the past year. I hope so anyway.
Besides… I have no expectations for this entry except that… by participation… it represents my persistence to prevail despite everything.
Keep smiling… you never know when someone’s gonna smile back! (((chuckles))) :-)
