I can’t believe I’ve done quite so many of these Basil comics already.
Okay, seven strips is pathetic if you’re thinking about proper comic strips by proper cartoonists, but I’m not a proper anything and I never set out to draw comics in the first place.
(Although I did draw a bunch of comic strips for my teaching journal during my Montessori training last year, and I might share them when I run out of material for Basil comics.)
My original idea for a funny Basil post was to write: “5 things I love in a dog” and draw five crappy drawings to illustrate the post.
I’ve always done crappy drawings (using a mouse) to illustrate my writings when I didn’t have any photos. And that was the extent of my interest in drawing.
Then, as I wrote the points down and I looked at Basil’s silly earnest face staring at me, my list grew bigger. Also, when I drew some initial sketches, I realised that I had to draw at least four panels each for anything to make sense.
And that’s how Basil became a series and I befuddledly became a comic strip artist (although still not a proper one).
The few of you who enjoy my drawings, thank you for reading! :)

Has Basil been conversating with my cat, because my cat does the same thing :P
OMG it’s a pet conspiracy!
AND THEY ALL HAVE IPHONES!
AND IPADS TOO!
That explains why dogs and cats rule! :P
Yeah, and some people are slaves to them without realising it!
I like to think they are slaves to me. Helps me justify an upgrade every time a new model comes out :) Now if Apple will just get on the ball and get out my iPhone 5, everything will be right in the world.
Are you waiting for the iPhone 5S? I read that they might have it in a gold colour!
If I have any self control, yes. Having a gold iPhone will complete my ego nicely!
Beside, (and I am talking from experience here) it seems gold spray paint doesn’t apply to well to the 4S. :P
If it’s true about the iPhoine gold kit, count me in!
@Sheylara: Not to be a downer or anything, but that bed is HUGE. Can’t you just shift once Basil is settled?:P I mean, so what if Piers has no room afterwards….
@Pepper: If your gold spray paint doesn’t adhere to your 4S, it still might look good on your cheek as a kind of dramatic bronzer! :D
@RN1209: Because then Piers will sleep on my face instead! :P
@Sheylara: And that is a problem because… *winks*
Duh. No comment! :P
