Sorry about the missing strip last week. I had a lot of paid work on. Which is a good thing. There are a couple more of these flag waving, redneck wonderland strips coming up. Its my delayed reaction to the Cronulla Riots and the Howard Years. The title of this one is from a Future Of The Left song. Cheers.

And rows and rows and rows and rows of Muppets staring straight at the sun

Here is the first of a few short strips on Australian nationalism. The title is taken once more from a Mclusky song.
Cheers,

Here’s a little end to the microwave tale. I don’t use them anymore. Cheers, Dave

Dave was a lost cause, a real psycho

Did you know when the microwave was invented, the second thing cooked was an egg- it exploded!
This was supposed to be the last strip in the breakfast story, but I’ve got a little postscript comic for next week.
Cheers,
Dave

Breakfast part 2: the infamous egg incident! The title is again from Mclusky’s “Dave stop killing prostitutes”. Thanks for looking. Cheers,

Dave

Dave what a good man but for God’s sake make allowances for breakfast

Here is the first of a three part breakfast story. The title is from the Mclusky song “Dave, Stop Killing Prostitutes”. Join us next week when we learn how to boil an egg!

Every wondered what a limpet was? I was never 100% sure. Another of Shirty’s odd sayings. The title is a Mclusky song lyric again.
I think I’ll draw something new next week. He has more sayings, but they are getting more and more obscure.
Cheers,
Dave

Another common Shirty saying in this weeks strip. The title is again from a Mclusky song.

My apologies to Matthew Dunn for ripping off his black speech bubbles. They were just too cool to resist using. You can see them in his Lonely Monsters graphic novel. Check out some of his work here: http://matthewdunnart.com/

Without it she is great, a little underweight but still appealing

This weeks comic strip is again based on one of Shirty’s sayings. I never understood this crazy Australian saying. I have had this image in my head for years now. It’s good to share!

It was fun to draw, but unfortunately some of the detail is too small for this web version.

Have a good week.

Cheers,
Dave

What’s wrong with getting what you want?

Here is the first of a few strips that I have planned on some of Shirty’s sayings. The title again comes from a Mclusky song.

You can get a print of the strip here:
