ryan & maxine - The Uninvited

So we have a mouse in our house (courtesy of our Egyptian neighbours. See previous post). Being the karma believing, semi-hippie animal lovers that we are, we have decided against killing it and rather capturing it and setting it free into a field (only to breed more offspring)

Our trap has thus far proved unsuccessful...

ryan & maxine - The 10 plagues of Heathfield

I think Maxine's neighbours must have a Jewish maid(slave) because the 10 plagues of Egypt have struck them. Their pool is starting to grow bullrushes (you in there baby Moses ?) , frogs have made the pool their home and now one of their vermin have invaded our home. Maxine and myself, both being first born, are now putting lamb's blood on our front door...

Was going to post a picture of the pool but decided against it. Trust me on this, its bad !

ryan & maxine - Bust a move

Imagine elections being decided by a dance-off, not debating ? 3-2-1 soooorrry Jesse Duarte but if you were in the running you wouldn't be getting many votes

The last action heroes

Here's the last batch of Political Action Heroes

First up is the COPE doll. You'll notice that this toy is unique in that it comes with interchangeable heads. I don't think the manufacturers knew whether Lekota or Shilowa was the head of COPE ?

Next is the Patricia De Lille toy. Don't let that smile fool you, she is a real street fighter. The toy is armed with a scalding hot GHD (hair straightener). Handle this toy with care !

Thanks to Vaughn and Nathan for the GHD weapon. Just remember I'm taking you guys down with me should the ID find out about this. Let's hope though that the day never arrives where one has to worry about blogs being censored

Nando's are taking some flack over their latest ads. Good luck with this guys !

Viva Freedom of Expression ! Viva !

Happy voting !

ryan & maxine - A Heathfield Wake

Maxine's neighbour recently passed away and his funeral was this weekend.

His family know how to throw a party. The wake was no exception.

The music eventually died down at about 5 am.

ryan & maxine - P.M.S.

The 'P' stands for Possessed.

This might be my last posting if Maxine sees this.

"ryan and maxine" - First appearance !

Today marks the first appearance of "ryan & maxine"

To sum it up, it's a comic strip about the misadventures of two prethirtiers (bordering thirty)

Today's comic is about an incident we saw while driving home after having pizza, along Wynberg's Main Rd last night. More on the pizza to follow...

The comic is done using Pixton. Check it out www.pixton.com

Political Action Figures - in stores now !

The perfect toys out just in time for South Africa's elections next week !

Tired of arguing with your friends over what politician will do what, for whom, unto whom ? Now is the time to take your battles to the streets ! Print them, cut them out and fold along the dotted lines. They really work !

Each toy comes with their own special weapon and fighting style.

The Zuma doll is a half man/half sanitaryware type cyborg equipped with a machine gun. The test model we got seemed broken. Think the circuitry got corrupted somehow ?

The Malema doll is equipped with tools and is skilled in the art of "hand(tool) to hand(tool) combat". (The makers initially wanted the Malema toy to be a Kung Fu Master but it had trouble chopping a block of wood in two)

The only toy with super human powers of sorts is the Wonder Zille. She is also equipped with a syringe full of the lethal Botox neurotoxin.

There's talk of the later models coming out with voice capabilities ?

The Malema Toy apparently says - "I will not debate you ! I will kill you" (for Zuma ??)

"Collect them all"



Welcome !
