“So I decided to rework my drawings for this year’s Folktale Week as digital versions, thinking it makes a kind of storyboard. This is a collage of those images … or parts of them. The prompt words were: Home, Secret, Path, Smoke, Dark, Key and Crown. And I was so surprised that I seem to have told a story! I was tickled pink as you might say.”
So why don’t you show me what you drew for that “Folktale Week” thingummybob on Instagram?
“Huh?”
I know I’m long dead, dears. But I might as well talk to you direct because my daughter has become some kind of zombie. I certainly never spent this long on the phone.
Why aren’t you cartooning?
“I’ve been keeping up to date with my Instagram feed.” I don’t care who you’ve been feeding. You should be cartooning. “But Mum there’s so much stuff to look at on here.”
Gordon Bennett! Give me strength.
“I’m feeling very short-tempered.”
I know. I can see that. Plain as a pikestaff. Look at that gif thing you just made!
So have you been filming your Angry Old Woman, dear? “No, Mum. I’ve been drawing an animation for a LoopdeLoop challenge. The theme of this one is “Fear”.
Fear? Well that’s typical of you dear, I must say. Who in their right mind would want to make a cartoon about fear? … Apart from you of course.
