Nuremberg defence

Posted on 28 September 2007 by kyknoord

The engineering industry is full of proverbial cat-skinners. Everybody - and I mean everybody - looks at things from a slightly different perspective. Usually that’s a good thing. Usually. It becomes a bit of a problem when someone loses the plot and no amount of persuasion can convince them otherwise

I’m just loving that raised eyebrow. But I have to ask; is this the only panel you have?

I’m loving this. The creative cartoonist by night, the dude who makes water travel upwards by day.

But now, what about the testicle pixies?

Oh man! I love it ..

When ever we have film shoots we have to do wonderful Risk Assessments and I have great fun assessing them for risks such as
a) nuclear explosions
b) man eating animals
c) dangerous diseases

I just love the look on the creative teams face when they wonder what the fuck their getting into 😉

Mmmm. Was that self deprecation or an admission of lazines? Either way, anything with pixelated testicular danger deserves a large cast and a page of panels.

Kyknoord, so glad you are back (and your old caustic self!).
Agree with dolceii about the large cast … and can we bring it to theatre near you?

divine miss M: Now you have a new one to add to the list.

andrew: That’s just mean. Accurate, but still mean.

anne: He’s a bit dyslexic, so he’s more likely to meet Satan.

dolce: Why not both?

the crutch: A large cast usually results from a compound fracture. Sounds like a not-so-veiled threat to me.

As stupid as the testicle-eating pixies sound, I have a friend of mine who has a genuine fear of garden gnomes.
