I know I don’t usually do this on my blog but now, having retired from full-time employment, I am finally finding more time to move around and monitor my projects and interests and, at this special time of the year, to formally wish my followers, comics collectors, comics creators, readers and researchers…a very Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year! I hope Santa brings you heaps of comics.

My cartoon of the University of Technology, Sydney’s Tower Building going to Bondi Beach for a Xmas dip in the ocean!

I created this cartoon back in my Design Faculty days. It features the university where I was employed up until the time of my retirement, namely the University of Technology, Sydney, and it was published in their monthly magazine. With it being a city university located right in the heart of the city and with Xmas occurring in the middle of Summer in Australia, I took the liberty of moving the University’s famous Tower Building to the beach…Sydney’s famous Bondi Beach…and having Santa smeared with suncream, wearing sunnies, and staring out to sea from the sand. Having the major part of the University campus in a high-rise building in the central city domain always seemed amazing, amusing and somewhat innovative, to me! It now seemed like a good opportunity to bring that cartoon back out with it being summertime in Sydney and during the Xmas and New Year period. Enjoy! I hope you have a very Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year…and if you are heading to the beach, follow Santa’s example and don’t forget that suncream!
