The Travelling 'Toonist: August 2008
http://travellingtoonist.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html
Thursday, August 21, 2008. Bangers and Mash, Anyone? An American standing in front of a decent pub. I always recommend a trip to the UK for an American's first visit overseas. The language is recognizable, the people friendly, and yet there is so much to see and do that excitement will fill your every moment travelling there. Cheese and salsa on chips, toasted until the cheese melts. Well, fortunately my brain has forgotten the details of that frightful meal. Which just goes to show what an adventure tra...

The Travelling 'Toonist: August 2012
http://travellingtoonist.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
Friday, August 3, 2012. 10 States in 10 Days! Part 1: The North. Well, after the two weeks of driving across America that I've just had, I just had to post here again! I drove from the top of the country to the bottom, not east to west, but still quite an accomplishment, and quite a bit to see. Overall, I spent time in Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, West Virginia, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and finally into Florida, and hit most of those places for a second time. This brought visions ...

The Travelling 'Toonist: August 2009

Friday, August 14, 2009. Obviously, these ancient sites meant a lot to their builders. Obviously, modern man needs places to sleep, shop, and eat pizza. So where do we draw the line? In a recent post here I was moaning about the loss of so much Native American prehistory here in Ohio. "Why oh why did they have to destroy so much? See this link if you don't believe me: http:/ www.gustavslibrary.com/mounddistributionmap.jpg. The Native Americans moved into Ohio perhaps 15,000 years ago! Even in our attempt...

The Travelling 'Toonist: July 2009
http://travellingtoonist.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Thursday, July 23, 2009. The Alligator Mound of Granville, Ohio, USA. High upon a bluff, overlooking the Racoon Valley, lies one of two effigy earthmounds that we know exist in Ohio. As this report goes on, it will become obvious that there may have been others, but like so many native American earthworks and endeavors, they have become car parks, plowed land, and housing developments. Why build a mound in the shape of an animal that only the gods could see? Cheers, JOHN :0). Links to this post. Day 2 in...

The Travelling 'Toonist: March 2009
http://travellingtoonist.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, March 24, 2009. Columbus, Ohio, Day 2. Short post today, since I don't have a good wireless connection. No photos, but I promise more tomorrow. First impressions. people tell you a lot of things, but don't listen to them! All in all, an exhausting day, and so of course take everything I say with a grain of salt. You can't judge a place on one day's visit. it isn't fair. Cheers, JOHN :0). 1) Downtown Dublin, a cute little town that apparently had one heck of a St. Patrick's day parade. So far, Co...

The Travelling 'Toonist: October 2008
http://travellingtoonist.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
Monday, October 27, 2008. Yesterday I had the pleasure of parcipitating in MINI's Motortober 08 Rally around northern New Jersey. Who says you have to go far to get the benefits of travel? Being in the MINI Rally was a blast. it was fun watching people's faces as first they see one MINI, then as they're pointing it out to their companion they see a second, and then their jaws drop as several more are seen following behind! I witnessed this three times, and several other times people shouted out "MINI!

The Travelling 'Toonist: April 2009
http://travellingtoonist.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Friday, April 10, 2009. High in the Middle, Round on Both Sides. What state is high in the middle, and round on both sides? O-hi-o, of course! Hahaha. I've been telling that joke for years, and must have made it up because noone else has ever seemed to have heard it. Hoover Dam, next right? Am I really that lost? No, that's not MY Mini, though it looks like it. But hey, THAT guy just shouldn't have been driving! Sounds like a place to visit! But first a nap. I've caught a darn cold! Links to this post.

The Travelling 'Toonist: June 2008
http://travellingtoonist.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, June 17, 2008. Around the World in 14 days. As an illustrator, I have the option of drawing or painting far away places, which is another form of stay at home travel. Researching a foreign port, learning about new places, and seeing a hint of their beauty is also very inspirational. One of the benefits of Freelancing is that I never know what a client may want from me, and sometimes that takes me in unexpected directions. Recently, Freelancing took me around the world. in only 14 days! I'm not g...
