So much for the chef’s idea to simply tap the croc on the head an put it in the pot…
I had some vague recollection of a cartoon featuring a croc in a kitchen, so I thought I’d do my own version.
I came up with this one when trying to think up a Christmas card for a cricket-loving friend. Seeing as crocs have very tough skins, I thought they would be ideal to stand up to a sustained spell of fast bowling.
This one was playing around with the idea of ‘when one door closes, another opens’. I wanted a creature long enough to stretch between the two doors, and I thought the croc would fit perfectly. As to who might be behind the two doors, I’ll leave that up to the reader.
Admitedly this one is an alligator, rather than a croc. That was more to do with the species name fitting in with the caption. I guess that ‘The crotchety croc’ might have also worked.
What’s next
I put out a Cartoon Newsletter featuring a whole host of characters and critters. Add your name and mail to the orange box below, and I’ll wing a copy your way.
