Hi Erica, thanks for the message and the encouragement. As it happens, we’re about to start a search for a new publisher. If we find success, we’ll be sure to let you know. Cheers, Matt
Anecdote you might use:
The family group (grandchildren, parents, grandparents) was walking back home from a garden luncheon at the Mount. I (granddadish fellow) had young Lyla on my shoulders and we were following the gaggle. It was like talking to God. Our conversation was birthdays. How old is Sadie, I asked god. God replied “two” How old next birthday “three”. How old are you Lyla “Three” How old next birthday I queried: “Four”. Now where do I go i thought. The pause was long enough to allow a question from god: “What’s your number, Stuart?” My number is seventy, I replied, that’s a big number isn’t it? No, said god, “ten” is a big number!.
Treasured in Toronto, Canada
A dear friend recently returned to Toronto after living in New Zealand for a number of years. I went to visit shortly after her arrival and was tasked with unpacking a box of her treasured books. Books so treasured as to be shipped half way around the world. Among the impressive classic hardcovers was a small book of cartoons – “The Little Things: Cartoons to Save Your Sanity”. Looking somewhat out of place within the collection, I picked it up, sat down and began reading. Then I started laughing. When I finally regained some control of the situation, I took a closer look at the cover. Then I started laughing even harder. OMG – illustrated by Peter Lole!

Hi Denise! Yes, all is incredibly well! Just reading your words reawakened a host of memories from days so long ago that I don’t want to think any more about them! And by the way, you weren’t supposed to be watching me drawing, you were supposed to be sticking bits of typesetting onto cardboard with rubber cement!
Anyway – contacting us certainly beats six degrees of separation. And we’re really glad you enjoyed the book! (There’s actually two books with another being worked on – plus calendars…….)
All the best to you Denise and thanks so much for getting in touch. Cheers, Peter
So much reality- LOVELY!
Love your cartoons (not really the right word but can’t think of another). I am a grandmother and the pics tell the story about bringing up kids with so much reality. Lovely!!

Hi Jenny, Thank you very much for the nice message.
Peter and I love getting that kind of feedback – it’s always nice to be reminded of all the people out there who enjoy seeing The Little Things each day.
Cheers,
Matt
You're always spot on, says Grandad
I love your cartoons in the Dom. They are neatly placed at the rear of the paper so after reading all the bad news and political stuff I can get a giggle. You are always spot on. by Granddad
