This is a new thing I'm going to do: every time I visit a famous or well-known place, I'll photograph Colin there with a suitable pun! This photo was taken the last time I went to London to visit my lovely internet friend Mairi Mac Arthur, it was actually the same day that the anecdote of this strange blog entry happened.

Other than that, I guess there's really nothing to explain. And if I do say so myself, I think this was one okay joke :)
Finger puppets can be bought here. A few weeks ago, my friend Naomi Brennan bought me a cow shaped cookie (actually, it was a gingerbread cow, rather than a cookie, but let's just use the American definition for this one entry) and I liked it so much that I decided to name him Cooklin and use him in a comic strip! I hope it's clear what's happening in panel 6: Cooklin starts talking, and then Colin takes a bite out of him. I'm actually quite proud of this strip; I consider it one of the funnier ones, I think it turned out quite similar to something which would happen in an Annoying Orange video. Though on the downside, this is another strip which was just photographed against a blank wall, this is something I haven't done in a while because I think they look a lot better when photographed at an actual place, but unfortunately it was late at night at the time and I didn't have time to find a location because, well, I wanted to eat Cooklin.

In real life, of course, Colin was accidentally broken, and now, with the help of David Tubb, he has been repaired, with John-Boy's hat being used to hide the worst of the remaining damage. Since it was John-Boy's hat, rather than any old hat, I decided I'd give him a second appearance in the Finger Puppet Show, despite last time saying it'd be a one off. This will almost certainly be his last appearance. I never really thought the hat suited John-Boy anyway and he was never seen wearing it on The Waltons (his brother Jason had one though). In fact, I'm going to use this strip to explain away the inconsistency of the John-Boy figure owning that hat, despite him never appearing to in any episodes: This strip takes place immediately prior to the first episode of The Waltons (The Foundling, rather than the pilot, The Homecoming, since the figure looks slightly more like John-Boy did in Season 1 than in the pilot) and so the hat was never seen, because Colin stole it before any of the episodes happen (again, not including the pilot, where I guess it was in the wardrobe!)... heh heh. Although this does bring up the question of why Colin is suddenly in America in 1933 following his revival, and why he’s back home in the next strip, but let’s not take things too seriously :D Also, I guess I had better explain the joke, I've noticed that John-Boy has a slight tendency to quickly shout "What do you think you're doing?" when somebody does something bad to him, and I like to imagine a cow stealing his hat would prompt him to say that (though I guess he couldn't resist the chance to make a pun)!
Finger puppets can be bought here. EDIT: Sorry, it seems I posted the strip with quite a big error in, it is fixed now! And so we reach the punclusion of the very loose story arc I started back in November with this strip. But have we really seen the last of Dorium? He is trapped in Hell now, at least, in case it wasn't obvious from the picture. Rainbow Man might seem an odd character to suddenly show up, so let me explain a little about him: In 2002, my class at school had a few lessons where we worked on making people out of papier-mâché, so I made Rainbow Man and I have been waiting for something to use him for ever since! Now, eleven years later, I seem to have found something! This also concludes the cliff-hanger of this strip and I already have quite a few strips ready for the revived Colin!
All finger puppets can be bought here. I made this strip to illustrate the point I made in my Valentine's Day entry from last year. If you read that, this will probably make more sense! If you're wondering why Buster would feel unhappy on Valentine's Day, you should read this strip and this strip, they'll explain it all for you!
All finger puppets can be bought here. I kind of hate the fact that, if a strip is longer than eight panels long, it'll be too small when I upload it, and then blurry when I enlarge it... Sorry, for that, but there doesn't seem to be a solution. But, anyway, I just thought the idea of a Sherlock Holmes style deduction of Jeb would be funny, so I made one!
Jeb was created both by me, and by a very good friend of mine. I'm sorry, the joke is hardly original, I just couldn't resist the opportunity to photograph in the snow!
