Geoscientists

Been a while, some missing Geoscientists I forgot to upload, April and May.

The December Geoscientist.

Only ~11 months to Christmas remember!

November Geoscientist

The following 3 months are ones I drwe recently, last minute & out of practise unfortunately. Set aside a week for getting back into this tho.

October Geoscientist

September Geoscientist

Hope this one makes sense. It's a bit whimsical perhaps.

I've started work on a new batch of these, it's been a while since pen has been applied to paper, the results aren't toooo appalling...

August Geoscientist

The August one. It reminds me of a crab trace in sedimentary rocks while doing fieldwork in Ireland, was a really nice trace fossil. We called it the 'snuffle mark', unfortunately an inconsiderate person whacked it to bits, attached for 300 millions years, removed in seconds. Grrr.

July Geoscientist

I'll be drawing some new ones soon, my last big batch is almost finished. One thing I didn't think about with this one is that in July people don't tend to need fireplaces, well in the UK at least. Ho hum.

June Geoscientist

This months offering, also, I made a mistake last month, I've uploaded the correct cartoon for that.

May Geoscientist

This is the correct one. To think posting an April fools cartoon in May, lunacy! The drawing is based on a real Geological field sketch of the Cliffs of Moher.

April Geoscientist

This months Geopun. I thouroughly failed to do an April fools post this month.

March Geoscientist

The latest.

December Geoscientist

I've nothing against these T-Shirts really...

Didn't go for the christmas theme this time.

October Geoscientist

Science loves it's pseudos.

September Geoscientist

It's a really nice walk this, not to mention some cracking sedimentology.

August Geoscientist

The August one. This is hilarious because Norman Bowen, petrologist, who created his reaction series that explained magmatic differentiation, has the same surname as Jim Bowen, presenter of TV's Bullseye and probably a bit more.

Super, smashing, great.

July Geoscientist

The latest. This one was originally due to appear later in the year but I brought it foward as I thought it possible that the world might be bored of twitter by the end of the year. I don't think this will be the case, and I'm certainly no snob about it. It does seem to bring some people together and keep some people in touch, certainly for comics people anyway. And I do read other peoples twitter pages without joining like some dirty voyeur. I thought about setting one up for myself, and one for Dalston in the cartoons, his geological posts might have read:

Just had a pie.
----------------
Idea for soap opera: amygdale farm
----------------
Just bought a T-shirt, it says 'tuff schist'. titter.
---------------
Why does my backside always itch when I'm giving a lecture?
--------------

Then I realised I couldn't be bothered and didn't have the energy. My personal posts would just read "making some pasta and having a glass of homebrew", "where's that foisty smell coming from in my house?" or "trying to write" anyway.

June Geoscientist

Here we are again with this months Geoscientist, I always like the idea that complex or difficult situations can be explained away with terms like 'zone of complexity' or in the case of Petroleum Hydrocarbons, 'Unresolved complex mix' which is just a bunch of chemicals that are too much effort to separate more properly.

As for frame 4, I'm not sure I can comment on the state of anyone's office/workspace, but hopefully it reaches the holy grail any strip cartoonist strives for: being mildy amusing for the target audience. I would love to be organised but I'm a messy bugger, I can't even say I have a tidy mind.

November Geoscientist

Here's the months edition. I got the idea when i saw a picture of a seal wearing various monitoring devices. I couldn't believe the weight the scientists were expecting it to carry and not affect its behaviour. I do give the Coelocanth a hard time in these cartoons don't I?

October Geoscientist

Appearing in this months edition of Geoscientist Magazine. Anyone who has planned fieldwork or a school trip will be aware of the masses of paperwork involved. Having said that I've never had to do this paperwork, so maybe it's not really that bad, but I did have 4 panels to fill.
