Pay what you can afford 18 Jan 8:40 AM (9 months ago)

Mediocre picture of my computer screenPay what you can afford: I’d like everyone to be able to be able to use CartoonChurch resources during what has been a challenging time for churches, and for clergy in particular. So, since 2020, the site has operated a ‘Pay what you can afford’ system – full price is still the same, or there’s a half price option if that is more doable, or a free licence for those that couldn’t justify buying a licence at the current time. Please take advantage of this if you need to – I don’t want anyone not to use my work because of the cost. At the moment I’m doing this through a coupon system – see details of the codes to use on the How to use the cartoons page. If you have any technical problems signing up please get in touch.

Other changes to CartoonChurch.com (made in 2020)

Pandemic cartoons: I’m gathered resources the particularly relate to the pandemic in the 2020 cartoons section.

Larger cartoons: The cartoons section of the site is essentially the same as it was, (for ease of use), but I have made the cartoons a bit larger and therefore easier to read. I’ve just edited the latest 60 or so images for now, but all new cartoons will be in this larger format, and I’ll go back and do more of the older ones when I can.

Click to view a larger version: The cartoons on the main cartoon pages and single cartoon pages can now also be seen at a larger size by clicking on them. And a tip for advanced users: if you’re on a page containing more than one cartoon you can then swipe or click left / right to the other cartoons on that page, although once again this doesn’t yet work with the older cartoons on the site. See the cartoon page, click on a cartoon and do some swiping for an example.

Thumbnail view: This, I hope, should make it more straightforward to find the perfect image for this month’s church magazine, or at least make it easier to browse worksheets and colouring pages. Select ‘thumbnail view‘ from the menu below ‘CartoonChurch.com’ at the top left of the site. A note – the thumbnail pages may take a few seconds to come up as the page is having to load a lot of images. I’ll be honest – this function will probably be more useful on a computer or tablet than a mobile, where everything is small anyway…

CartoonChurch illustrations: Like clipart, but better. The Illustrations section is is a new addition to the site, with smaller and simpler images that are ideal for, say, illustrating an article, filling up a gap in the notice sheet, or to make a point in a talk. Go and have a look! (There are some examples on this page.)

New colouring pages: See the colouring pages for the full selection. Ideal to get people talking, for mindfulness, or for those few minutes when you just haven’t got anything else planned.

Cartoons in portrait format: A number of landscape cartoons are now also available in portrait format, so they could be used to (for instance) fill an entire A5 page in a church magazine. If you find these helpful it would be useful to know, and I will create more!

I hope you enjoy all of the new content. If you’d like to support my work, and at the same time have all kinds of cartoons, illustrations, colouring pages and worksheets at your disposal, then I’d love it if you were to consider buying a licence. I’m hoping that, with everything new on the site it is good value and will provide a lot that will enhance your church publications, or whatever you do. And if you know a church magazine editor – please pass this on. Thank you!

If you find any part of the site that doesn’t work, or isn’t as useful as it could be, or there’s anything that you’d like to see more of then I’d love your feedback.

Anyway, you’re probably here for the cartoons, so don’t let me keep you. Show me the cartoons.

What Could Possibly Go Wrong 24 Nov 2024 7:26 AM (11 months ago)

What Could Possibly Go Wrong is a collection of cartoons from the Church Times, originally drawn from 2018 until 2020. The book is the 8th collection of Church Times cartoons published by Canterbury Press. It’s always great to see them gathered together into a book, and I hope you think so too. The contents are arranged as follows:

“In an exciting innovation, this collection is divided into three parts. ‘People, Buildings, Controversies’ recalls the carefree times before the pandemic. Here you will find handy guides to how folding tables work, viewing previous vicars’ portraits, and identifying new bishops. Part two, ‘The Pandemic’, chronicles how churches adapted (or didn’t) to changing the way they did everything. It also reveals what clergy were doing when not on Zoom and rewrites the 12 Days of Christmas and the Beatitudes for lockdown. And in an uplifting final part, ‘The Church Year, Looking Forward’, we return to the simple joys of church statistics, vestment etiquette and donkeys (liturgical use of).”

As always I’m hugely grateful to everyone who helps me with new material in a variety of ways (submit a cartoon idea here!), and to Church Times and Canterbury Press for continuing to publish my work.

You can see some specially-selected cartoons from What Could Possibly Go Wrong here on CartoonChurch.com (more coming very soon!) and use them in your church publications if you have a CartoonChurch licence.

To see all of the cartoons you can buy the book via these links, or your local bookshop. I hope you enjoy it!

CartoonChurch illustrations 12 Feb 2024 6:48 AM (last year)

A new development on the CartoonChurch.com site: Illustrations. These are smaller and simpler images that might be useful when one of the standard cartoons is too large and/or complex for the task in hand. Places you might like to use them include:

*To illustrate a parish magazine article
*As a header artwork for, say, the Vicar’s letter
*As a discussion starter
*To fill a gap on your church notice sheet
*As a quick-to-read illustration for a talk
…and any other use you can think of.

The illustrations can be viewed on a thumbnail page, or in the standard view with larger images. Each illustration is tagged with topics, and the thumbnail page has a list of those tags to help you find an image to suit the task in hand.

As with all the content on the CartoonChurch.com website I ask that you buy a licence on a ‘Pay what you can afford’ basis to use the images. This also enables you to use all of the cartoons, colouring pages and worksheets in your church for a year. Thank you!

Go and explore: CartoonChurch illustrations.

(If you like these images and would like to see more please let me know. Feedback on this kind of thing is very useful.)
