My Christmas Truce cartoon was used in the programme for a new oratorio by Andrew Fowler in December, titled An Outbreak of Peace. Andrew sent me a copy this week, and seeing it framed I’m considering working it up into a larger painting during the year.
It was used by a choir in London too.

One of the magical things about having a site like this is how some of my cartoons catch on. When I was producing work on a weekly basis for the Connacht Tribune I’d refer to the content of Charlie’s article, try and incorporate a gag, and then forget about it. But a website is a gallery window through which the entire world peers, and my stuff has been used in presentations, programmes, magazine articles and posters around the globe.
Love it.

I’m posting some of my old stuff from the Connacht Tribune from time to time here. This one was from a farming supplement that the paper publishes every year.

“Jeeze, you’re taking it very well, Charlie!”
“Well, I’d be a fool if I was surprised, eh Mike?…
(This is the last Double Vision column, as the Life section ceases publication in the Connacht Tribune this week. Thanks for reading.)

A couple of years ago, the nice man who works in the launderette was worried about me. He thought he’d done me a favour, but I was acting very strangely…

The plan was simple. We’d get a taxi from Leeds Station to the B & B, check in, drop off our bags and head off to the party. We were on a roll; didn’t want to linger…

Everyone hates a whinger who comes out with the same knocking copy each year. Yet once again I find myself looking ahead to the Galway Arts Festival with a mixture of excitement, hurt and sadness…
