Confused motivation cartoon

In my last post I mentioned that I’d entered an informal CCGB competition (cartoonists are set a caption, and have to come up with an idea / image). My first attempt, the umbrella cartoon got a few votes, which suprised me as my cartoons tend to be a bit, er, offbeat. But better than that, the very talented Clive Goddard called it “wonderfully surreal”, which makes me happy.

Anyway, the next week I tried again, the set caption being “You just don’t know when to give up, do you?”. I produced the cartoon above, and got voted into second place, which is nice.

The winner was DC1’s cartoon about decorating the Sistine chapel (I can’t link to it – he has no website).

But my favourite of the competition was Tim Harries take on laser eye surgery.
