A Rather Over-Ambitious Child's Reading Book...

Here’s a cartoon that captures a moment many adults can relate to: a man looking at a child's reading-book and concluding that it is rather ambitious!

It’s a playful commentary on how adults often perceive children’s early learning attempts – and a gentle reminder that imagination and ambition in books are to be encouraged, no matter how ambitious they may seem!

This style of humour is typical of my work, combining light-hearted observation with whimsical illustration. It’s designed to appeal not only to fans of cartoons but also to parents, teachers, and anyone who enjoys a clever, visual joke about everyday life. 

Each cartoon is carefully crafted to highlight subtle ironies, everyday quirks, and humorous situations in a way that resonates with a wide audience.

For those who enjoy collecting funny prints or gift items, these cartoons make delightful presents. They are perfect for framing in a home office, giving as a birthday or holiday gift, or simply sharing a laugh with friends and family. 

The whimsical nature of the cartoons also makes them ideal for use on mugs, cards, and other personalised merchandise available through my Zazzle collection.

Driving Test. Hoping the Examiner Noticed One Particular Aspect...

"Get-U-Thru Driving School" – A Humorous Take on Learner Driver Nerves

This cartoon captures a moment that many learner drivers can relate to – the dreaded driving test! Set at the fictional Get-U-Thru Driving School, it shows a weary examiner sitting beside a nervous student, both inside a car clearly marked for a driving test.

The examiner, looking thoroughly exasperated, says to the hopeful student: “For the last time, yes I did notice how well you opened the door when you got in!”

The humour lies in the way the student’s anxiety has turned even the simplest action – opening a car door – into something they imagine might earn points. It’s a light-hearted reminder of how over-thinking can creep in when we’re under pressure to perform, especially during tests or interviews.

Like many of my cartoons, it takes a familiar real-life situation and gives it a twist of gentle exaggeration, turning tension into laughter. Everyone who’s ever faced a driving examiner will recognise that blend of nervousness and misplaced enthusiasm!
