Wristscan 16th January - Cartoonists!

 
 By: Baron - Mr Red : January 15th, 2015-05:35
With a distinct nod to the events of the last week, lets tip our hats to the wonder of cartoonists and how they express humour and freedom. Feel free to post your favourite cartoonists and whatever watch happens to be on your wrist. On my wrist right now ...  

Excellent idea....

 
 By: watercolors : January 15th, 2015-06:38
I present to you fine gentlemen two cartoons , one by Bohdan Butenko and the second one from New Yorker titlet "the last garment". And of course my beloved Sinn getting ready to go on my wrist! Outdoors wristshot to follow. Regards Edward ...  

I always smile at the New Yorker....

Timerider. This is Sinn 657 made of bead-blasted steel with covered case back and 41millimeters in diameter. It houses 2824-2 ETA automatic movement and is known to be a very durable watch. It can take some abuse but I have been very gentle with mine, goo... 

Common sense

 
 By: crown comfort : January 15th, 2015-07:54
Well, if you're a corporate lemming like myself, you got to love Dilbert. It's full of "common sense". As far as watches are concerned, here are some dialshots of the GP with Arrow Indexes. Have a good one, all. CC ...  

Excellent, CC. Both the cartoon and the watch.

 
 By: amanico : January 15th, 2015-09:26
Funny how often I wear this GP... One of the watches I wore the most, in 2014. Best, Nicolas

OK, this is NOT fun!

First post of 2015 - last watch in from 2014. I've been a fan of comics on and off for a long time - it would be a long list. Not quite cartoonists, but in the spirit of the theme I hope. HAGWE. Peter Bagge and his comic HATE, featuring his great creation...
