(part of the 'Steve May rather hinders his career as a children's illustrator by drawing fighting & smoking' series - I may be a bit of an idiot! ; )

World Cat Day - official merchandise
Yes, it's World Cat Day (apparently) so why not purchase an official* World Cat Day Collar of Shame™?

Damned lions!
For old times' sake I bought a ticket to see The Damned a couple of days back then due to another conversation I was inspired to think about how a lion with Dave Vanian's* hair would look - goth lion anyone?
*Could also apply to Morticia Addams & possibly Caitlin Moran

cat trumpet
The man in the Apple Store asked me what I was drawing.
I explained it was Tuesday morning so naturally I was drawing a cat playing a trumpet.
That seemed to satisfy everyone. : )

'deceived by his monkeys'
I was rather entranced by a quote on Radio 4's In Our Time this morning (or, 'The-Melvyn-Bragg-Clever-Programme' as I like to refer to it, because it always makes me feel at least 33% cleverer by proxy after listening!) referring to Galen*, the Roman physician and medical theorist as being 'deceived by his monkeys'
*nope, no Roddy McDowell references you ignoramus!

Beware giant hogweed!
Walking by the River Tees in Yarm (which is a wonderful name for a town!) I saw a sign warning about the dangers of giant hogweed.
Apparently the reality is slightly less 'hoggy'

Laughing rat
Anyone else find the idea of rats laughing when they play on this morning's Life Scientific on Radio 4 rather enchanting?
