Happy Birthday, Roger. Hope the holiday's going well. 8)

Is that how Roger dresses to play golf?
(wonderful artwork there Tarqs!)

Happy Birthday Roger, enjoy your holiday cheers! :)

Yes - that's a great caricature, Tranquil. I didn't realise Roger had the Little Bighorn nickname. Perhaps it's just a girl thing.

Many, many thanks everyone---with a special mention to me old mucker, Tarks. The caricature is terrific. I can't believe the time and effort you put into it (I've just found out you were in cahoots with my better half for the references) and it's much appreciated. I will be getting it printed out for a keepsake.
I had a great birthday and a great holiday. Sorry to tell all you UK residents this but I never saw a cloud in the sky all week and the average temperature was 35 degrees. Fortunately, we had a cool pool at the villa and a pubful of cold beer just along the road so I managed to combat the heat. I also managed to find an incredible book for holiday reading and I recommend it without qualification. BLUE HIGHWAYS by William Least Heat-Moon. Written in 1983, it's a non-fiction account of one man's drive around the back roads of America and the people he meets on the way. He has a glorious way with words and, at one stage, describes an old man he sees sitting on a porch in Georgia "shaking his evening paper into obedience". Well worth reading.
Okay, it's back to work tomorrow and, you know what, I don't mind at all.
Okay

My pleasure, Roger (and thanks again to Mrs K!). If you're going to print it out though, you'll need a high resolution image file, around 300 dpi, lossy compression as devised by the Joint Photographic Experts Group downloaded to your hard drive and connected via a universal serial bus cable... tell you what - I'll send you a print (which was the plan in any case).
Sadly, the downside of working entirely digitally these days means there is no original pen-on-paper drawing, but I promise to eat the master file once the print is made, so that it has a uniqueness all of its own. Either that, or I'll burn it onto a disk (don't worry - this is not as hazardous as it sounds) for you, and you can use it for many other purposes after that, including your own personal website, should you ever build one. :-X
Glad you had cold beer and hot sun. No, really - I am!
And thanks to Diane and Peepsie for the kind comments.
-
Thanks, Tarks---you had me extremely worried after reading the first few lines of your post.
-
I like how there's a clique on here that know each other's addresses. What about the rest of us? We're hardly likely to
burn down visit your home unannounced.

Or you could just ask your wife to have it put on a T-shirt for you!

But then shouldn't the caricature have him wearing a t-shirt with the caricature on it?
-
At sixty, I am now too old to wear t-shirts. Perhaps I'll have it printed on my bib.
Regarding my home adress, Mincey, I'm pretty sure you have it already. I'm hurt that you forgot.

I'm older than you and I still wear t-shirts!
-
Yeah, and when I'm as old as you, Roger, in about twenty years, I fully intend to still be wearing t-shirts, probably with cartoons on them, if I'm still able to draw.
-
Many Happy Returns, Roger - glad you had a great holiday. Was it San Raphael ?
Brilliant caricature Tarqs!

I don't think Roger was making a fashion/ageism statement - I think he just isn't young enough to get his arms in a T-shirt anymore - 40 years in the cartooning sweatshop will make your muscles atrophy.
I think a bib will look smashing Roger!

There you have it, Vult - if you can still get into your t-shirts, you've obviously not worked hard enough over the years. Says Diane.
-
Nah, I just get bigger t-shirts when necessary.
-
Welcome back, Roger, and Tarks that is a great bit of work.
-
Cheers, Malc (and Rob!). I won't pretend it was easy, but I managed to offload the rejects at a live caricature gig the other day.
Mince, not only do I have Roger's address, but I also have his post code logged into my satnav, along with the 4-digit code for the security barrier. :\
-
What about the drawbridge?
-
Belated Happy Birthday wishes to you, Roger! Glad to hear you had a fab holiday with lots of hot days. We're enduring the winter cold down here in Sydney - about the same temps as Edinburgh right now.
I can't produce as good a drawing as TT, but I can make some little images appear ...

I think he decided against a drawbridge when he realised how easy they were to rub out!

Not once he's inked it in.

Tarks popped in to see me yesterday with this wonderful caricature all framed up for me. We had a coffee and a chinwag. Changed days. When Tarks and I originally knew each other, 30 odd years ago, we got together for umpteen pints and a chinwag. It was good to see the old bugger.

So, coffee makes you see better than umpteen pints, does it?
-
Who can still drink umpteen pints of coffee at our age, Roger? Good to see you too, my friend - time flew!
