This was photographed at Savernake Forest. I'm going to use this entry to explain the issue of Colin's language abilities which I'm sure may seem inconsistent at times. Sometimes he appears not to be able to talk at all and to be just a mindless cow (like here) and other times he seems to talk just fine (like here). Well, the truth is, Colin can speak Cow, but he can't speak English. So, times like this all everybody hears is a cow mooing over and over again with no words, I've just taken to liberty of translating it for you to make it more enjoyable. As such, there is no inconsistency! Every time Colin 'talks' he is either alone or talking to another cow, he cannot talk to humans (he'd be able to speak to Rainbow Man, though). There is an exception to this (here and here) and the answer to that is that on some unseen adventure, the pirates were granted the ability to talk to animals. So, there you have it, the issue is solved! Not that anybody cares, I'm sure, but I do like to have internal consistency in my work, so I made this explanation more for myself, than anybody else!
Finger Puppets can be bought here. Since jokesters answered the question of "how do you know if there's an elephant in your fridge?" (footprints in the butter) long ago, I tried to answer another of life's big question "How do you know if there's a cow in your fridge?" the answer, of course, being that they get stuck in peanut butter pots.
This is the first appearance of David Tubb in a strip in about five months! Finger puppets can be bought here, And with that, we have the first appearance of Tolin the Cow! Actually a cow shaped torch. Tolin, just like Cooklin, was a gift from my friend Naomi Brennan, this time a birthday present. I'm not sure if I'll use either of them again, but, when I get new cows, I just want to make strips about them! This also continues Colin's desire for all cows to say nothing but 'moo'.
Finger puppets can be bought here. Cow torches can be bought here. I'd be planning on making this for quite a long time! This is only Dracula's second appearance, and his first wasn't even a proper strip.
Finger puppets can be bought here. But, of course, it won't becaue Colin is just a mindless cow who just happens to wear a hat and who just happens to have wandered into the Funny Hat Club. Also, if the angling of Jeb looks strange, he is supposed to be sat on the edge of the seat; I hope that makes it clearer.
Jeb is the creation of both me and a friend of mine. Finger puppets can be bought here. I hope that's not too small to read, these days I generally keep the strips at eight panels, but this is a reference to this older strip and so I kind of needed it to be this length. The pirate Colin is talking to is Long Jon Silver, he's the earliest fictional character I remember making, he appeared once before and I wrote a little about him then too.
All finger puppets can be bought here. |
