The Cartoonist Recommends.

MadScam by George Parker. I’ve just finished reading it and all I can say is, go and get this book. George Parker exposes the big dumb agencies as what they are, (which is big and dumb) and explains to the interested reader how to achieve quality advertising without them (the big dumb agencies). Fab! Well done, George.

I want Stars. Now.

For goodness sake, since I’ve announced Roper and my bookshop a few days ago, the book has been downloaded about 35 times already. Would somebody mind leaving a rating at lulu.com, please? Any odd star will do; or you can even get going and write a review of the damn book.

NOTE: Once Basil and I are in charge of everything, we’ll know exactly who did what and when. Just to let you know.

Basil Says.

“basil6″You don’t need to learn 3 chords to form a band. In fact, you don’t need to learn anything. Just get yourself a really cheap guitar and a really, really big Vox or Marshall guitar amp (the bigger the better), and Bob’s your uncle. And now form a band.

Quick, before it’s gone.

Google buying YouTube and all that, you never know. The Vibrators live with Automatic Lover.

All that Stuff I’ve been doing.

I hate advertising. Concepts for Traxam, a so called topical NSAID (Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug). Which means, it’s a gel for backpain. I really don’t know if it works or not. Anyway, those quick ideas of mine never went any further than being stuck in my sketch book.
