i did say that it was an emerging theme, didn't i ?

interestingly, out of the four people sat either side of me at the meeting today two of them were also doodling away (one a car, the other an armchair). i'd like to think that i was at least partly responsible for this blatant wave of unprofessionalism.

...or it could have been the rather dull meeting.

ahoy, me hearties !...

ahoy, me hearties !...

unusually there seems to have been a new theme emerging in the doodles that i produced today. we've not had many pirates before, have we ?

(in fact, only one, here )

...so from left to right a pirate, a skull'n'crossbones, and a mitochodria (one of my favourite forms of all time).

nope, unfortunately not (although i am open to offers - "your business napkin/headed stationery doodled-on here".)

anyhoo, what we appear to have here is a a godzilla-like confrontation between a badly-drawn box robot, and a huge lizard-like creature. set against your typical disaster-strewn city-scape.

...and encompassing some atypical oldenburgian giant tomatoes.

oh my goodness, i'm so funny.

did you see what i did there ? i even built-in a pun around the theme of the strip within the subject line of the blog post...

yeesh - i'm good.

...well that's what it looks like to me.

...maybe the bat is me.

...maybe i'm feeling that there is a grasping hand appearing from the very ground beneath my feet to pull me down ???

that seems to be the way in which this particular meeting went; not quite sure how though.

when i was scribbling away, though, it did occur to me that there were similarities to the giant alien spider that walked through the streets of liverpool a couple of years ago La Princess.
