Half Ma’am Half Brisket

When I was 10 and my brother was 7 we made a small Stonehenge in the garden.

Just found my old collection of return tickets. They took me back.

Probably enough Hey, Wayne! and Call a constable replies now thank you.

A very Threads moment. NB there is no indication from their timeline that they are joking.

I painted this picture earlier today but apparently it's 'already been done'. FFS, it's possible for 2 people to come up with the same idea.

I’ve done some things in my past that I find difficult to talk about for example there was the time I picked a peck of pickled pepper.

Glad to see the wagtails are back roosting in the centre of Exeter.

I also want to say thank you to the person who introduced me to the French word 'beaucoup' this year. It means a lot.

Ok, we're just about done for the year. Sending out the last batch of orders and then we're closing the studio until the new year. Thank you to everyone who has bought my work, it really means a lot. Moose & Karen

Some useful seasonal advice, hopefully

Only for use in emergencies

Always tricky working out where to put the fig leaf with this kind of thing

I remember the night I first introduced Count Dragomir Vasile Mihai Neculai Alexandru Constantin Dodos of Josenii Bârgäului to my wife. She grimaced and said "That's a terribly elaborate name for such a small penis".

I guess it’s not too late to start?

My @mooseallain.bsky.social #AdventCalendar is looking very colourful now... not many days left to colour in...

My @mooseallain.bsky.social Advent calendar so far.

@mooseallain.bsky.social If I recall correctly, you're colourblind and therefore probably can't appreciate the true garishness of these advent calendars, but my boys are loving doing them! Thank you again

Oh cool, the lead singer of Gossip is on BlueSky.

New little Stilt Village drawings just finished. These are A6 on primed board, ready to hang on the wall. www.worldofmoose.com/products/sti...

Very rare shot of the Arctic Platypus

Whenever the doorbell goes I scream then open it to reveal an elaborate trail of fallen dominoes which I keep like that for the occasion.

“This painting of my cat is useless!” “Do you know who the purr portraiter is?"

It’s basically the last day today to order cartoons from us to get there for Christmas, if you were considering it.

One thing about this cartoon is that it's (clearly) a male owl owlsplaining. In reality the female tawny owl twits and the male twoos. I can think we can let that pass seeing as we’re talking about a world in which owls can discuss the finer points of grammar. www.worldofmoose.com/collections/...

Happy Chris Morris was more prophet than satirist day to all who celebrate

Note the dates.

A lot of clothing historians are pushing back against the idea that clothing was restrictive; e.g. corsets were for support & the fashionable small waistlines were an illusion created by extra padding in other layers, not tightlacing. But I don't currently have the brainpower to be finding sources.

I’ve drawn a lot of cartoons for people in the run up to Christmas. Occasionally I get distracted. Occasionally mistakes get through the net, but luckily Karen spotted this one. Im not sure what was going through my head when I signed this.

(Quietly sliding my campaign for all UK babies to be issued cigarettes and an elegant carriage clock back in the drawer) wow that’s great

The whole point of my thread was about the specificity of the kind of women who have traditionally been depicted in ‘Western’ art, how they do not reflect a diverse world, and how that was an issue for us. I obviously didn’t make it clear enough.

This is an illustration from our book The Cell, written by the brilliant Ben Martynoga. We had to fight a bit to keep this drawing, because it was felt it didn't represent a broad range of women. It does raise interesting points. I created it by assuming a generation would be 30 years.
