If one Should enter the small town of Horseleap, on the Offaly/Westmeath border, one will encounter a postbox.
The guardians of this postbox are an individual called Gerald and his familiar, Arthur, and one must answer 3 questions to post in this postbox.

Floral tastemakers have been in touch, and I can now confirm, as the first Friday of April commences, purple is the latest thing, the new yellow, if you will.
And of course, those #WeirdNotWonderful creatures shall be adding Absurdity.

Does anybody remember the song, Green Door? Made famous in the 80s by Shakin' Stevens.
"There's an old piano, doo bee doo bee doo, behind the green door"
Well in Ballycumber, Co. Offaly, there is a postbox beside a green door. Equally deserving of a song.

It's the time of year when the world falls in love.
Good heavens, what am I prattling on about? that's Christmas, not spring.
Spring is when we look to Tom Lehrer for advice.
But Spring is here, and so is #FlowerPowerFriday and #WeirdNotWonderful Creatures.

For the day that is today...
I present something iconically Irish that is mostly Black with just a touch of White...
Yes, our gentle, Offaly-born, poetic soul, Sydney...
Happy St Patrick's Day...

On a scale of 18th November 1931, being the most whimsical and 16 july 1952 being the least (I'm sure I don't need to elaborate the reasons), how whimsical would you like your #WhimscalWednesday to be?
Here are some #NonsensicalOrnithology being ignored, to help you decide.

Eric is the proud Cat of a Cartoonist, and it is a role that he performs with the appropriate amount of solemnity and gravitas.
In fact it wouldn't be unusual to find him spending a morning engrossed in some illustrations of Mr William Heath Robinson.

#FlowerPowerFriday, shall be, for the foreseeable future, daffodil-centric, blessed as we are with an awful lot of them...
But fear not, the #weirdnotwonderful creatures shall highlight the much required diversity we seek...

Finishing off World Book Day, with a lit fire, me ol' monochrome mucker Eric wandering aimlessly, a #weirdnotwonderful creature and a Book of the letters from The Master, Mr P.G. Wodehouse
That is my evening all set...

A gentle morning with Sydney and Penelope.
Sydney being our gentle poetic soul and Penelope being Norman Thelwell's hapless equestrian.
In an ugly world, more Thelwell is never a bad thing.
It's Another alliterative morning of, #ComicsCatsAndCoffee.

An interesting fact about me, Carly Simon once wrote a song about me.
I know what you're thinking, "How vain is this guy?"
But fret not, my vanity doesn't prevent me enjoying #flowersonfriday, like this one daffodil, next to a #WeirdNotWonderful creature.

The whimsicality that is #WhimsicalWednesday, perfectly epitomised by our Garden of tranquility, providing a moment of zen to Felines, Nonsensical Birds and #WeirdNotWonderful creatures alike.
They just have one request, do not take photos.
Oh well...

In Ireland, it has rained every day in 2026 so far.
But hopefully this shall end soon, and there are signs it will, and #FlowerPowerFriday shall document this, and #WeirdNotWonderful #EnglishAbsurdity.

As I have said, on many an occasion, Eric is a Cartoonists Cat, and, it is a role he indulges in, with much seriousness.
In fact many an evening he can be found reading Herge's gentle Comedic masterpiece, Tintin.

Greetings to you upon this most whimsical of Wednesday's.
And what could be more Whimsical than Cats and the joy they obtain from Boxes? Throw in a couple of #WeirdNotWonderful Creatures and you are sorted...

As well as feeding the stray cats of Offaly, we also hope that our Garden provides a gentle, tranquil space of rest and meditation for them, #weirdnotwonderful creatures and members of the #nonsensicalornithology family.

As a creator of, attempted, humour and whimsy, I do enjoy reading about other creators.
Currently reading, "Inventing Wonderland" by Jackie Wullschläger. The story of five trailblazers of English Children's Literature

"Where have all the flowers gone?" asked Pete Seeger.
"They're coming, you impatient ne'er-do-well." Mother Nature responded
The first Daffodil's of 2026 are here, much to the appreciation of humans, animals and #weirdnotwonderful creatures

Today has been a rather rainy day in Offaly, but on days like this I heed the words of Schmillie on the back of a Mutts Treasury,
"Rainy Days were just made for a hot cup of tea, a good book and a cosy cat" (or 2) throw in a #weirdNotWonderful creature and that's my evening.

Today is #WhimsicalWednesday, and it shall begin with me, our gentle poetic soul, Sydney, and the ubiquitous Cartoon Bird, watching the gentle craziness of Paul Whitehouse, Bob Mortimer and Ted in Gone Fishing.

It's #UKPunday, a celebration of the love the British have of wordplay and paronomasia.
And as an English illustrator of funny pictures, who loves wordplay, I feel that I need to join in.

The Neighbourhood stray cats, appear to have been given the impression that we run a 24-hour Diner.
We don't.
But, still this rumour exists.
Oh well, at least those #weirdnotwonderful creatures are not so demanding...

The humble Snowdrop, The first sign that nature is done with the cold, grey nights and wishes to expand its Colour palette, have stirred the soul, and the pen, of many a poet. I am speaking of true poets, not rhyming humorists, like myself.
