My cartooning career started at Fairfax, during the setting up of the Gold Coast Weekend Herald in 1993. I was invited to illustrate letters to the editor and the points of interest section 'InTouch'. Each week was a joy for me, reading letters and snipets of information inturn selecting 3 for illustration. I try to give my reader something humourous and informative to think about. My aim is have them realise a punch line then to feel satisfied having worked it out. I integrate second and hidden meanings in my toons.     REPELLANT; "Local radio stations might like to copy Radio Fugue FM, based in Compegne, north of Paris. The station is making its 'music outdoors' program very pleasant this current summer season with a special ultrasound wave guaranteed to chase away marauding mozzies. The ultrasound wave is inaudible to humans but of the same frequency as that of male mosquitoes. It is the female mosquito who comes in for the bite and she is totally confused by the sounds and won't come within a radius of four metres around the radio."
