Notes: Coat Hanger...
So this weeks funny cartoon features Brian and Martin who must currently be the BifSniff characters with the most exposure. You might have seen them previously in such funny cartoons as "Tall Tales" and "Music Depreciation"
I like this weeks cartoon and I think the humour is enhanced by repeat exposure to the characters. Their personalities are begining to show through I think - I know I am hardly impartial, but it even makes me smile to see Brian's joyous expression barely change from situation to situation...
Single panel cartoons are hard to produce. You have to have get so much across in one image and one short piece of explanatory text. I personally like the direction the repeat characters is taking us because while I believe the cartoons still stand on their own, their humour-value is increased by previous knowledge of the characters.
Wow. What a way to make something fun sound really boring. Way to go Frank.

Ed, I'm so glad you went to the trouble of correcting your original post. The second draft was so much better. :P
Good to see you today at the screening of Lump... well done on that, really glad I got to see it. Actually, it's the only thing i made an effort to see in the festival!
For those of you who haven't been reading Bif's blog, Ed made a great short film called 'The Lump' and it's been shown in loads of festivals including our native Cork.
