If you've bought a card for anyone in the last few years, I really hope you've come across Edward Monkton cards. They're fairly simple, usually black and white cartoon type things, with some kind of comedy verse or story. These no longer only exist as cards, but also as books, cuddly toys and much to my amazement when my friend, the crazy duck lady, gave me one for Christmas, desk top calendars! This is possibly the most appropriate calendar I've ever been given, as on the front of it is:
The text under the picture is:
When I am grown-up I will understand how beautiful it feels to administrate my life effectively. Until then I will continue to torch all correspondance that bores me and to dance naked over the remnants of its still glowing embers.
Now I'll freely admit I don't actually do this, but then I doubt many people would honestly say I was grown up either!
Each month of this calendar has one of these type pictures, and they make me giggle so much that I thought I should share them. So every month this year, be prepared to be updated with the latest comedy calendar picture. This is January's:
I hope this provides you with as much amusement as it does me!

I think I recognise the donkey, in which case his name is 'Deadly', so the poem should read 'Deadly the donkey falling .....'
A small point, but nevertheless important from the donkey's perspective'
