Thank you both so much for your wonderful cartoons! As a family with Mum, Dad and three children we all enjoy Little Things each day in the Waikato TImes – it is the first thing that the children look for! Your eye for what life with children is like is absolutely spot on – and it is so encouraging to find cartoons that celebrate the warmth and laughter that is part of everyday family life. I was delighted to find that these were New Zealand produced cartoons – the humour and experiences shown are so universal, I hadn’t realised Little Things was “home-grown”. Thank you both so very much for brightening up the newspaper with a touch of reality and gentle humour. It is a refreshing change from the doom and gloom that too often makes up what is considered to be “newsworthy”. Keep up the excellent work – we love it!

Love the cartoons. ‘Experiencing false alarms reminds me of long haul car trips from Port Hedland to Perth when my kids were small. Pre-schooler son could easily clear a crowded room at times, and we often did stop the car and encourage him to ‘do number two’, so this cartoon re-creates fond?? memories. Please include me on your book list.

Just love your wee comments and cartoons. I often put them up for the parents in my classroom. I can relate to these! I teach 5 year olds! Emma (Looking forward to the book!) 

So funny tonite’s cartoon re brussel sprouts. It brought back to me how I teased my son about what was in cat and dog food tins when he was 2 or 3. We started by identifying what was in peaches, baked beans etc. He was wide eyed when I showed him pet food cans and then we both laughed when he got the joke.

The only way to keep in touch about NZ is to read NZ news on internet. I was accidentally stumbled on your cartoons on the “little things”. It’s really enlightening and not to mention it cracked me up – totally can relate to some of the cartoons.
