A much needed rest

I'm going to take a two week break from C&C to get some much needed rest after a frantic summer working and illness in the family. Normal service will resume Monday 5th September.

3 Cheers for Pooh! (For who?) For Pooh!

Winnie-the-Pooh is  90 on Sunday (according to NYPL). Happy Birthday, Bear, and thanks for the memories!

(Pooh quotes from Winnie-the-Pooh by AA Milne, Methuen, 1926) 

Decisions, decisions...

To celebrate Winnie-the-Pooh's birthday this coming weekend, I've done two Pooh-inspired posts.

When my kids were younger, "Shall we rock or shall we Pooh?" was asked at the beginning of car journeys to decide what we should listen to (nowadays it's mostly rock). I can't tell you the hours we've spent listening to it on CD. We have it as a BBC recording read by the brilliant Bernard Cribbins, described by Bookaboo as 'the actor with a voice as warm as onion gravy.' Wonderful!

Scientific fact # 2

Escapees

 A great big THANK YOU to The Comics Reporter for helping me promote C&C. So direct tweeting can work!

There'll be more from C&C on Monday...

Good boy, Bloggy

A little something

Favourites

I had a strange dilemma writing this particular strip - should I use British or American spelling? The original picture book was only published in the US, so it wasn't an issue. Here I opted for the British (since I am). I discussed it later with Jane, who suggested in future I spell Cheese's words in the British idiom, and Chalk's in the American. What a great solution!

Imaginary friends

Seeing is believing

If this is your first time to C&C, 'Hello' - if not, 'Welcome back!' I shall try to post two strips a week over the next few months, on a Monday and Friday. Why not email one to a friend? Simply click on the envelope icon below the strips and follow the instructions. Enjoy.

Bloggy

Well, it's the end of week one - I've had readers from UK, USA, Spain, Japan, France, Australia, Canada, Germany, Saudi Arabia and Thailand! Thanks for stopping by - come back Monday to find out more about Bloggy (maybe the 'subscribe' widget-thingy will work by then...) !

What is a blog?

Question

I accidentally posted this yesterday - I'm sure I'll get the hang of all the techy stuff at some point! Please bear with me...

Scientific fact # 1
