Snail Cartoons - Today's Offering by Michael Edwards

Best yet Michael!

Fantastic Michael! Yours are real cartoons now, so neatly drawn. How do you include the text? Is it Notepad +?

Thanks both. I must admit that when I do cartoons for publication I do take a bit more time over them and include more detail than I do for posting here. As for the text I use Picasa (free Google download) which I find so easy to use for cropping, straightening and text. The text is not always easy when you need to fit it into into a pre-drawn 'box' as was the case here. Another problem which i have is that my scanner tends to crop to the size of the image which is often too small for what I want and sometimes I even lose a bit of the cartoon. . To overcome this I make a dark mark in each corner of the paper so the scanner picks it up at full A4 size and I can then crop to whatever I want. Might post these comments in the forum as others may find them of interest.

A Shell garage now eh! Great cartoon Michael.

One of your best Michael, how do you think of them? Have you tried a 'shell suit' yet for their casual wear?

Ohhh clever Carole Shell Garage? This is brilliant Michael. No keeping up with you. .

Thank you for the info Michael.

Don't know about washing them - I drown mine lol!

Me too Debs :) Can't stop laughing, at the antics of these snails, keep them coming.

Super funny, Michael!

Thanks all - nothing like a clean snail.

Really funny - great idea for a cartoon.
