...port hand Bill

I had a little experiment today.
My scribbles are becoming a little too polished for my liking, what with adding colour & finishing off slogans on the PC. (If you could see some of the stuff I drew when I was 16, you would notice its all b&w rough and angular.)

So I had a go at drawing with my left hand today to see if I could get a little rawness back into the lines.

Im fairly happy with the result if not the subject.
I seem to press harder with my left hand, so get more defined lines and colours .
Scanning cuts out half the pastle pencil shades I put on paper, so it does not do me too many favours.

I used to be far better at hand writing too, but it gives the text a nice childish quality I like.

I might try this more often.

...devils and devil dodgers

Now the question is :

a) Is this scribble a parody on the tolerance, intergration and acceptance we have of societies many facets and colours of lifestyle choice ?

Or

b) Me just drawing devils at lunchtime ?

...three little pigs.

No matter how clever youve been putting up firewalls & anti virus, the evil buggers out there are gonna come up with something to counteract.
Lucky it was not nasty, just irritating.
Hence the scribble, the complacent piggy invites the wolf.
The pro-active piggy should go out and hunt the bastard down.

...statistics

Wth ! ,
I installed one of these statistics things out of interest and have become fascinated by it.
Since I started this blogging lark at the begining of the year iv'e have a dribble of people passing through, not leaving comments or sadly any abuse, being offended and leaving promptly.
Until this weekend when suddenly I get hit 50 times in one day.
What on earth prompted that I dont know.

Its interesting a number of popular blogs appear to be cartoon based, be it mostly politically founded.
I wonder what it is that catches peoples eye as they randomly zip through blogs.

Anyway Im happy to say that on the Truthlaidbears' scale of things Ive evolved from an 'Insignificant microbe' to a 'Multicellular microorganisum'

Does this mean I'll have to start thinking for myself at some point in the future.?

...combat penguins

I finished my scribble early this lunchtime , so I carried on and done a second one.

Work interfers far to much in my liesure time.
Never mind it's now light enough to go sailing in the evening

...cultural exchanges.

Language barriers from the point of view of us English are there mostly due to attitude & laziness.
The little island off the coast of England (Europe that is) tend to learn English as a secondary language from an early age. So most of our chaps don't bother with another tounge or are arrogant enough to think they should not need to bother.

My problem with it is different, I am not fluent , but have enough Spanish to get me by, but Im to embarrased to use it for fear of making an total ass of my self. Could this be the real cultural barrier. Just being a stiff Englishman?

I refuse to try to speak French though, because it has the potential to annoy them if I don't.

...Caterpillas

I really want this to be true.

...evil clowns

All clowns are evil, without exception.
Name one that isn't.

...how not to treat those who care for you.

...odd pets

Talking to people at work about their hobbies & things they keep as pets, I realize there are some strange folk in the world.
....& then realize I'm one of them.
....Probably.
