Yes!

It's that time of the year again!

We are not amused

I miss having a king and queen in Greece-makes a cartoonist's life easier and all.Still, the former royalty still manages to provide a few laughs from time to time.
The current goverment pretends to be amazed by the fact that several items that the same goverment people allowed the former royalty to export from the palace -following of course the appropriate protocol (in the dead of the night,in plastic bags thrown in unmarked containers by beefy guys named Vito),surfaced currently in auction houses.
Fingers are being pointed about "great loss of significant cultural treasures" and such*, but i think they are all missing the point:
Former royalty having to sell their tea cups in order to make next month's rent? Hey,I would pay handsomely to read such news!
(*several lower people have already circulated cheap jokes about the "Royal Vibrator",a low kind of humour which I happily reproduce).

Cover-up


Working 24/7 for the completion of the new "Photographer" album, due for an early March release.While playing around with cover ideas, I thought it might be interesting to post the process of one idea, from concect sketches to a presentable state.It will propably change significantly later.
