Cow Island

Funny Cartoon

Steve Allender is a self taught cartoonist, illustrator and fine art landscape painter. He has, in the past, contributed cartoons to 'Punch' as well as writing for 'Artists and Illustrators' magazine. His paintings can be found in various galleries around England. His time is now mainly taken up with recording the daily adventures of the six cartoon cows who live in his head. This has not proved to be easy as they move around a lot and take frequent trips away from home. He has some hopes that eventually some kind person will offer to make them into an animated series for television, thus making him a wealthy man and giving the Cows the chance to live a life dominated by the consumption of cake.

Not what you expected

Hello....bet you didn't expect this!

It's me, your author aka The Great Pencil in the Sky.

What am I doing here? Where are the Cows?

Well now, as some of you will know, I've been writing about my little chums for quite a while now. Six blogs a week, each blog with it's own illustration. Last autumn I passed the 1,000 blog mark and I've had the most wonderful time in doing all of this.

But the fact is it all takes time, about a day week, and truth be told I need a break and I'm afraid it's going to be rather a long one. I'm sorry to just be cutting it off, mid story, it wasn't my original intention it's just turned out that way. Let me assure you that both the Cows and me are fine, Annie is doing the washing up as I type this (there's water everywhere) and the rest are having their 5th breakfast. Will we all return at some future point? I think so, maybe towards the end of the year but I make no promises.

So thank you for reading, I hope we've entertained and if you're out somewhere and from the corner of your eye you catch a glimpse of six small bovines looking rather lost, do please stop and have a chat with them, they're really rather a friendly herd.

For now, take care, keep safe, eat cake, drink tea and giggle....giggle a lot, it's what life is all about.
Know your Pirates

'And so,' explained Norma, 'thanks to Annie's contact in the security industry...'

At this point Annie herded across to Captain Bill and whispered at him.

'That's Mr Norman, he is an elephant you know.'

Before turning and stampeding back to her position by a large notice board.

'...who shall remain nameless...sort of,' continued Norma, 'we now have access to the latest advanced database of pirate sheep captains at large upon the high seas.'

Captain Bill nervously opened his eye and looked at the pictures on the board.

'Rough lot,' he remarked.

'We could have them!' said Bertha.

'Now if you'll pay attention,' said Norma, 'from top left, Harry the Fleece, known grass stealer, has form for wandering off. Next, Little Eyepatch Sam, currently the only female pirate, how does she keep that fleece so curly? Then Flossie, more of him later. Then Tom...he doesn't seem to have a nickname and is currently thought not to be a threat as he was last seen with his head stuck in a hedge and finally just a picture of another sheep because we thought the board could do with it.'

'Well you can't fault the research,' said Captain Bill.

'Indeed,' agreed Bertha.

'Thank you,' replied Norma, 'so in our opinion...it's...'

And here Annie used her her pointy stick to give a little drum roll.

'Flossie!' mooed Norma, 'he fits the bill, lots of eye patches, big flock, recently been recruiting etc, etc.'

'Let me at 'im!' screamed Bertha.

'Erm..,' said Captain Bill, 'well.....no need to hurry.'

But Bertha was already heading towards to docks.
