Boloney (Alexandre Rouillard) and I (Jeffrey Caulfield) live in Canada where the winters can be a touch cold; very cold indeed! It doesn’t bother us much as we are used to it but our new book ‘Butt Seriously‘ can’t take the chill. So, it’s decided to visit a much warmer climate for a couple of months until the spring returns.

(the guy on the left is not dressed too warm for the cold either. His cheeks are so frosty!)

Our good friend Kathy and her husband took pity on our chilly book so they decided to take it on a grand tour of the American south west. Here it is on the back of their RV (it’s hard to make out but those are Arizona license plates.)

I think Kathy was having a bit too much Tequila when she took this out-of-focus picture. Our book looks a bit blurry-eyed as well.

But, our Butt’s (Seriously) book is at least nice and warm. It’s good to see it out enjoying itself on the open road, with the wind rustling through it’s pages as the scenery flies past. Who knows, someone may spot it and want a copy of their own.

I do hope if it does fall off the back of their vehicle that it doesn’t land too hard and sit neglected on the interstate.

If it does I can only hope these two characters will scoop it up and take it under their protective wing, as they appear to like good humour.

And our book, ‘Butt Seriously’ is definitely that!

Actually, Dan Piraro (creator of Bizarro) was kind enough to write the forward to our humorous tome. (While out on his porch one day he happened to see it fly off of the back of an RV -a different trip – and land in his front yard.) Upon reading it he immediately felt the need to comment on its contents. He states, “The real art of cartooning is to create a compelling illustration that facilitates a compelling gag. Caulfield and Rouillard are the most shining example of this unique combination I have seen in some time.”

Thanks Dan! (and we’re so glad our book didn’t bounce of off your well-manicured lawn and break a window).

If it did you might have had us put ‘on the rack’.

Of course by doing that would have only meant that our humour would be stretched that much further, and less cartoons would have been needed to be placed into the book. Ha!

As I write this it is snowy and cold outside. But inside I feel warm all over knowing our book is getting a tan on a tablecloth of stars! (plus writing this while sitting in my infrared sauna helps me feel toasty too.) Thanks Kathy!!

So, why not get your own copy of our book ‘Butt Seriously‘ and take it out for a little trip? If you do make sure it’s buckled in good and tight.

And, if camping or hiking our book comes in very handy. You can eat a page a day for that much-needed humour (and roughage), or use a page a day for un-needed ah, well, you know?

Butt Seriously!!!!!

This is my cat Subira (pronounced sue-beer-ah). She is a Lynx Bluepoint Applehead Balinese. Now that’s a mouthful. She has Lynx markings on her head and ‘tuffed paws’; her ears, paws and tail are blue-tipped; here head is round (not like a Siamese cat’s head which is triangular; she is related to the Siamese); and her species is a Balinese. Whew!!!

And, of course those lovely blue eyes are to die for.

And, she is extremely vocal when she has something to say (much like a Siamese), especially when it comes to Mustard and Boloney cartoons. She is there from inception, to creation, to polishing, and finally to print. If something isn’t working I hear about it.

Here’s one she particularly liked and posted it immediately onto her Instagram account.

(her comment was, “He’d be a much happier cat if he’d only read ‘Mustard and Boloney’ cartoons on a daily basis. Plus some prune juice wouldn’t hurt to help dislodge those nasty fur balls)

An early comment on this peculiar one was, “Why am I barking?” I said, “because you’re crackers.” She stared up at me then started meowing. (this went on for 2 days) I relented and gave her the full explanation. (I even showed her a box of animal crackers as part of my presentation) She still didn’t buy it and continued meowing for another 3 days! I said, ” Okay, you’re barking because the monkey swinging on the fan is a ventriloquist and he’s throwing his voice.”

She thought long and hard before finally saying, “Mmnn, I like it. Clever.”

I agreed, removed my earplugs, then went on to create more material; enough panels to fill Mustard and Boloney’s first book called ‘Butt Seriously’.

We then needed a publisher. I approached many but their rosters were filled with other fine books for the next year or two. So, not wanting to wait, my partner Alexandre and I created our own press, and published the book ourselves.

And, what better symbol for our printing house than a dog barking cat! We drafted many logos and this is the one Subira fancied the most. (her tail makes an excellent bookmark)

She just loves the fact she looks like a virtual hologram.

Sales have been going very well (thanks to all who have purchased so far) and Subira is quite pleased.

Well. I’m off to create another cartoon. As you can see our publisher, editor, proof-reader, mentor and best friend sits quietly, waiting for the next punch line.

Here’s hoping it’ll be a good one.

But just in case my earplugs are at the ready.
