Cheap lolz, swashbuckling romance and essay crises

Jenny is a frighteningly bright Philosophy student, Tim is her flirtatious slacker of a flatmate. Come here to follow the life adventures of these two absolutely not stereotypical Cambridge students. You'll learn very little in the process, but I'll get better at watercolour.

It's a new dawn

Return of the doodles! sorry I forgot to put those online as they got published by TCS. This one may be vaguely biographical. It's a possibility.

The Productive Procrastinator



You know you hate your thesis when cleaning the toilet begins to feel like a particularly attractive alternative.

Not Quite Dr No



(To be fair, it's often more fun than writing The Thesis.)

It's all about having the right skills set.

Week Five Nostalgia



Maybe we could call it 'Year Five Blues'

Testing the Questionnaire



Hamilcar is sort of the literal embodiment of SurveyMonkey.

Corrupting The Youth



Probably the first time Tim was preferred to a philosophy essay.

He'll reach Acceptance some day. So will we all. Maybe.

Engaging With the Audience



And we're back for a second year of comics (many) and fan mail (probably not that much)! hello everyone!

See you later in September



J.K. Rowling, if you read this: sorry for the bad news on your birthday. Hope you have a good one.

TCS May Week Special!

...It's the May Week Special! In which Jenny, Tim and Hamilcar go to a May Ball. You can download it HERE

And thanks to the wonderful Zoah Hedges-Stock, Editor Extraordinaire of the best Cantabrigian publication that is The Cambridge Student, I had the privilege to draw not only the front cover but also the back cover! So once you've read the front page, scroll down to the last.

And don't forget to read everything in the middle.

See you on Sunday for normal service. Meanwhile, please check out the new blog/podcast that I am launching with my friend Lauren, Kid You Not Podcast! It's about children's literature, but not as you think you know it. Children's literature, as some of you will know, is basically my life - as an academic, as an author, as a reader - and in Kid You Not I'm trying to get people interested in this wonderful, fascinating topic. Please subscribe to our iTunes feed, and share it if you like it!

Enjoy the new summer

See You V. Soon!



Yep, sorry, people, that's how it is I'm afraid. I made a huge May Week special for The Cambridge Student which will cover both FRONT AND BACK COVER of the wonderful newspaper (be sure to pick it up!!), so as a result I'm giving myself a holiday and Tim and Jenny time to get ready for the event.

See you on JUNE 24th for the MAY WEEK SPECIAL!

A Question Of Taste



Dear newcomer to this blog, welcome. You won't understand this strip if you haven't read that one. In fact, you should even start at the very beginning. It's a very good place to start.

It's Just an Optical Illusion



Say bye to Bertie! he's going back to his attic to do maths.

The Incredible Truth



FYI, Bertie is playing the new Nintendo 2DS. Amazing.

On Beauty



I love fruitflies because they're like small X-men but without the pyrotechnics.

That awkward moment when a scientist tries to act normal



Once I went to a friend's place and he was a scientist and on his desk was a book which was solely devoted to Rubik's Cube algorithms. True story.
