Life is like a hot bath. It feels good while you’re in it, but the longer you stay in, the more wrinkled you get.
And in the end, it’s not the years in your life that count. It’s the life in your years.
The first step to getting the things you want out of life is this: Decide what you want.
– Ben Stein
In my thirty years as a freelance cartoonist I’ve had my fair share of overcoming obstacles, setbacks and disappointments and I’m sure there will be lots more before I hang up my pencils. The trick is to take it in your stride and bounce back when you’ve been knocked for six – for when you say you’ve had enough and you quit you’re finished. Leaving the way open for someone else to take your place and maybe the prize!
Nearly everyone I talk to has put a few pounds on over the year.(Including myself – it’s a problem when you get to my age!) So I’ve already started thinking about my New Year Resolutions!!!
Sounds like I need to go down to the gym and stop eating so much.(My problem is having something sweet with every cup of coffee or tea I have.)
Anyway here’s a dieting cartoon motivator with a link to some more…
Hi, I had a bit of a dilemma while creating the following cartoon. Originally I thought of the first idea then the second idea came to mind. So now I don’t know which one works best. Any suggestions or preference? Your comments much appreciated!
Or does this one work better? Or maybe having a swear word in there might just alienate some people!?
Let me know what you prefer?
Neither a borrower nor a lender be; for loan doth oft lose both itself and friend, and borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry.

Debt is like any other trap, easy enough to get into, but hard enough to get out of.

Good+Fast = Expensive Choose this and I’ll postpone every other project on my drawing board, my round of golf or give up my footy match ticket and work day and night to get your job done. It WILL NOT BE CHEAP though!
Good+Cheap = Slow Choose good and cheap and I’ll still do a great job at a discounted price. But you’ll have to be patient while I fit you in after my higher paying clients, updating my web site, going down the gym, my footy matches, rounds of golf and liquid lunches!
Fast+Cheap = Inferior Choose this option at your peril. It will still be delivered on time but it will be inferior, as many corners as possible will be cut. You know the saying ‘You get what you pay for!’ The least favorable option in my opinion!
