After solving the technical issues with last Sunday's strip, I thought it would be a waste not to follow it immediately with the follow-up that I wrote a few days later.
Oddly enough, this strip was put together about a month ago, and written longer ago than that. I only heard of the Men's Health charity Movember weeks after doing it. It's schedule just happened to coincide with being the first strip during the month of Movember. Serendipity.
As a special treat for Movember, there will be an additional bonus on week days. Back in the 1980s, I did a series of variations on the smiley face, featuring famous folks. I did a group image of The Young Ones which was published as part of a series of art postcards in Bendigo.
Movember seemed like the perfect opportunity to bring the idea back. Thus Fa-Mous Smiles (short for moustache) was born. This time they're in glorious colour. Think of it as a perfect opportunity to visit the site, and vote, every day for a while.
Movember is raising money for research into prostate cancer and male depression. I sponsored the person who alerted me to the event. Then I decided to become an entrant, so please go to http://www.movember.com/au/sponsor, enter my Registration number (37695) and your credit card details.
