Random thoughts

I have been kind of lazy in creating cartoons these few days... (Not for the lack of material though)
Lots of stuff going on . I promise to be less lazy going forward ( Fingers crossed)

Yet another excuse

Ricky has an unending supply of excuses... Looks like he can churn them out on demand. Keep them coming Ricky ......

The little shopper

Rianna is practising for the future !!! She is trying out her persuasive powers on Singho.

She tried to take him out for shopping. Did she succeed? That gentle reader is for you to find out .......

More excuses ....

As I mentioned earlier - Ricky hates writing ( I mean there are so many other things that he would be rather doing) . So he is an expert at churning out excuses for not writing. Let us just say that some of them sound kind of ridiculous and go a long way towards raising Singho's Blood Pressure.

Weighty issues

Once we reach our thirties , the excesses of our past catch up with us. Madsie is no exception. She has weight issues and so do many other women she knows. However a certain female has a DIFFERENT weight issue

Rianna's poetic efforts

It sure looks like Rianna is trying to be a poetess. She bestows on Singho the great honour of being her first critic .....

Any excuse to not write

As I said before - Ricky is an avid reader ( reads everything - even the daily newspaper) - whether he understands everything he reads is something up for discussion. He is also extremely lazy and will try to use any excuse to not write.

Cartoons - An introduction

I am posting my first cartoon strip here. In this strip I introduce the "Frequently Used Characters" of my cartoons.

Creating Cartoon strips

My latest hobby is creating cartoon strips.
I have made about 16 strips so far - mainly about the kids, family life and friends. I will keep posting them here from time to time. Do let me know what you think of them.

Introduction

I suppose I should start by introducing myself. I am Madsie - mother of 2 kids aged 7 and 3. ( and the wife of a husband and the only daughter of my parents etc ,etc, etc).

I love to read books , write and sometimes dabble in poetry (The said dabbling was more frequent when I was a teenager - which was lightyears ago). I have recently started experimenting with "cartoon strips" - lets see how long I remain interested.

I also like to experiment with cooking ( though perhaps I dont enjoy cooking everyday ). I love listening to good music too. What I enjoy most these days is spending quality time with my kids ( a 7 year old boy and a 3 year old girl). I love teaching them stuff and "doing craft". "Doing craft" almost always involves one or more of the following - paper strips, scissors, glue, brush, water, paint, play dough ; results in a huge mess afterwards but leaves two very happy kids and one happy mother .

I also hold a day job. I work in a large company and help test "networking equipment". In short I am a Software Engineer.
