Over and out (for the moment)

I think it’s over, and yes you were in it. I quite enjoyed it. Not sure if L did.

Coming Apart at the Seams | Series 6, #15

Got knotted

Back together. J pulled the string tight, tied a knot and gave me a bit of a clip.

Coming Apart at the Seams | Series 6, #14

All present and almost correct

Almost right. Just need to get my head screwed on the right way.

Coming Apart at the Seams | Series 6, #13

Hair today

What do you mean, ‘It’s lucky I didn’t get the hair cut’?

Coming Apart at the Seams | Series 6, #12

What a nightmare

Coming Apart at the Seams | Series 6, #11

J strings me along

Hope she gets everything in the right place

Coming Apart at the Seams | Series 6, #10

Coming apart at the seams

Just falling to pieces. Next thing J will be telling me to pull myself together. I would if I knew where the string was.

Coming Apart at the Seams | Series 6, #9

Haunted

Maybe I’m being haunted.

Coming Apart at the Seams | Series 6, #8

Haunting

The whole ‘be funny’ thing is haunting. I can’t be funny on demand. I mean, I’ve never been funny before!

Coming Apart at the Seams | Series 6, #7

Be funny!

And they all want me to be funny. This time I am drawing the line, the answer is no, no and no again.

Coming Apart at the Seams | Series 6, #6

The Smiling Demander

J is so demanding. Smiles sweetly, but so demanding. I may need to draw the line!

Coming Apart at the Seams | Series 6, #5

Is it five or six?

Grumpy as all get out. That’s me, not Chummy. And confused. Aren’t we up to series six?

Coming Apart at the Seams | Series 6, #4

J’s looking for you

Syd’s back. Out of the blue, no less.

Coming apart at the seams | Series 6, #3

Out of the blue

Very happy. Retired from cartooning. Haven’t seen Syd for yonks. Life’s good, mainly a morning sleep in, quick lunch, and an afternoon nap. What can possibly go wrong?

Chummy twigs the sizzle!

Help! Help! I need the editor!

Series 4, #21

J and Syd press on

Pizza won. Still, Syd’s got my light so I’m sort of there.

Series 4, #20

The call of the pizza

One leg says follow J, the other says go for a pizza.

Series 4, #19

Syd hears the call of the chip

Series 4, #18

Following Syd

You go on. I’ll just have a quick breather.

Series 4, #17

To the rescue, almost

Got everything? Just need to find my headlamp.

Series 4, #16

Keep your heads

Don’t run around like a headless choo. . .

Series 4, #15

Aghast

It’s worse than yikes.

Series 4, #14

The first weigh-in

Series 4, #13

Home to roost

Home to roost? Roast . . . maybe?

Series 4, #12

Hightailing for home

Yikes! Sizzlers! Chummy’s for the chop!

Series 4, #11

Sizzlers

Sizzlers? What’s a sizzler?

Series 4, #10

We hear from Chummy

Great news. Chummy’s at a health farm for chooks. Maybe Syd can visit?

Series 4, #09

A health farm for chooks

How lucky can I get? A health farm for chooks.

Breaking news

Series 4, #01

The news is bleak: #016

Chummy flees: #015

Sudsie puts in his bob’s worth.

Chummy departs: #014

Pale with shock: #013

Chummy figures out both drum sticks and marinades.

Murky waters: #012

Sudsie! What a thing to say. I just hope Chummy didn’t hear.

Buckets of Paint: #011

Syd draws cartoons: #010

Better late than never: #009

After two days of nothing, Syd finally delivers his first batch of cartoons.

Draw and run: 08

Mystery solved! It’s Sudsie!

Editorial woes: 07

Who drew Chummy? #06

No thumbs: 05

Sydney the new cartoonist: 04

It gets worse: #03

Just useless

Out in the cold

They’ve all gone! SGV 017

Where’s everyone gone?

Someone’s never been happier: SGV 016

J gave me the boot. Sydney’s AWOL. Chummy’s scarpered. And a new cartoonist (from Canada) starts in a fortnight, right after quarantine. All that J will say is ‘don’t alter your settings’.

The end of an error? SGV 015

The boot, she gave me the boot. Chummy never fronted. I said you can’t do this, she said watch me.

Chummy and I front up: SGV 014

Vacancy? Cartoonist? What a hoot! And she missed out the ‘n’. I’ll give her a ribbing about that once Chummy has fessed up to the whopper. That sign will be gone before lunch. Now, you go in first Chummy.

It’s the putting right that counts: SGV 013

Chummy is very sorry for telling J a shopper. She is determined to put things right. We’re going to tell J together. Chummys a brave wee thing at heart.

Hens don’t crow! SGV 012

Chummy did say ‘that’s a dopey hair do’! Hens don’t crow! Chummy told a whopper and I’m the one being punished.

Maybe a hair cut will help: SGV 011

J’s as grumpy as all get out. Chummy just bangs on. It’s a series of disasters connected by misfortunes. Maybe a haircut will clear my head.

Under the bus: SGV 010

Chummy’s off the hook. Nothing but a clucker from way back. Me though? I am firmly wedged under the bus. Publish and perish, didn’t think of that!!

The bus is on its way: SGV 009

Chummy says she said ‘cock-a-doodle-doo’ not ‘what a dopey hair do’. And she reckons I said ‘publish or perish’. Talk about chucking me under the bus!

Summoned to a meeting: SGV 008

Chummy asked me to come with her. No idea what it is about.

Going rogue: SGV 007

Publish or perish. Chummy and I agreed that J is an editor, not a censor

Red-carded: SV 006

Still not published: SGV 005

Nothing’s appeared yet . . .

Red-penned: SGV 004

Chummy is imaginary: SGV 003

What a nightmare. Chummy the chook doesn’t want to be chicken tonight. I said it wouldn’t happen because she is imaginary, as in not real. Chummy is very confused.

Exploding phone? SGV 002

Forget 60, it’s gone to 81. I read that if it gets to 100 the phone explodes. Where’s Syd? He’d know what to do. J’s no use, just keeps muttering we are having chicken tonight.

Syd’s gone viral: SGV 001

Sixty, can you believe 60. Syd’s gon viral and he’s hopped off somewhere. What a calamity.

Gone but not forgotten: SS015

Syd’s gone. J and I are very worried. We can only hope for the best. It is so difficult to imagine life without him.

Syd’s hopped it: SS014

Revolting chooks & editors: SS013

Chooked: SS012

Oh no! Syd’s been chooked!

Disgruntled chooks: SS011

A snitcher: SS010

Syd’s got a snitcher with the chooks.

Chooks: SS009

Chooks stride and strut? Horrors!

Still confused: SS008

After hours of instruction, the sparrows remain as confused as ever.

Losing heads: SS007

I hope J doesn’t see this. I am not following Syd. No idea who the heck is following me. We seem to have lost our heads.

Confused: SS006

The sparrows are very confused. They just don’t get stride and strut.

Time to unimagine: SS005

The sooner you unimagine that bird the better. He can’t spell. Nothing but trouble and strife.

Fiddlesticks: SS004

Fiddlesticks. Thinks he’s superior, all because Red Beaks don’t hop. Says they stride and strut. And the fool can’t spell. Just fiddlesticks.

Red Beaks superior? SS003

Red Beaks are superior because they stride and strut, not hop like sparrows.

Shouting, shouting: SS002

Shouting at everyone: ‘Stride and strut, stride and strut’.

A bee in the bonnet: SS001

Syd’s got a bee in his bonnet. I wonder if he’s running a temperature.
