   Hi Morten

   I work for The Times also (The darker crannies, tucked away in the jobs bits, not prominent enought to make the website I’m afraid) and have loved your stuff in the paper for a long time. I was very pleased to find a British political cartoonist who has a blog for once; very interesting posts about the future of cartooning in animation etc.

   Anyway just thought i’d say hello – if you have a moment I’d appreciate any comments you might have on my work cos I’m relatively new at the whole thing. The cartoons are quite different from the illustration, in fact it’s all a bit sprawling, but I’d really like to know whether you think my ‘jokes’ work, as I find them quite hard work to think of, though defnitely the most enjoyable part of my work. I’d particularly like your thoughts on this one – I’ve spent way too long looking at it to know whether it’s funny or not:

   Anyway sorry to ramble, great blog, look forward to seeing more!

   Hi Morten

   I have just come across your site and strangely it is the day after the PCS Cartoon awards, which I too attended and presented at (I was the Mugabe on the far left – the one with the Barclays fat cat) – well done for your goblet win. I currently do political cartoons for the BBC and so please feel free to contact me if you’d like a chat.

   Morten – can’t find your phone number or email just at the minute, and this seems the simplest way to get you. Anyway, it’s got nothing to do with cartoons and everything to do with Norway, as (in order to see the OTHER European City of Culture) we’ve booked a sailing to Stavanga this summer, and now need some guidance on what the hell else we should do in the land of both the troll and your fathers.

    Friends and colleagues

    The newest 3-D political animation from Kaltoons featuring Hillary and Obama premiered last night at Atlanta’s Alliance theater and is currently on display at Economist.com. You can see it here:

    Hallo Morten

    Som noen andre her nevner er du ikke lett å finne kontaktinfo på. Vil gjerne ha kontakt med deg i forbindelse med Federation of Cartoonists’ Organisations (FECO NORWAY) Mvh Ø.

    Hi Morten,

    I have been passed your contact details by Tim Ellis for Epsom as we have just had a new course called Graphic Storytelling and Comic Art validated for a start in Sept 2009 and I know you have just published a novel. Tim and Mike Nicholson help me write the course at Epsom. The validation outcome was successful but one or two members of the panel had some real doubts about the efficacy of such a course, whether there was an industry at all (despite copious notes about the size and scope of the market here and in the US , marketing reports etc) and they even had some reservations about its title (we think it does what it says on the tin!). I do not want to re run these arguments, as I reckon that the case is proven. But the panel do want some evidence beyond my convictions.
    I would really appreciate some advice about the name for instance or maybe offer a (positive) view, if you feel you were able to help me.
    Many thanks.
    Bob

    Hi Morten,

    I love cartoons and caricatures from ever since I can remember. I never liked political cartoons a lot (nor politics) but I liked your cartoons because your presentation of the characters express emotions (which isn’t very common in political cartoons.) I loved the Obama-Brown caricature (which one you an award) – the body language of both the subjects is awesome!

    I would like to add your blog to my currently non-existent blogroll (my blog is about 15 days old.) Do let me know if it’s fine with you.

    I wish you all the best:)

    Warm Regards,
    Shafali

    Do you have any information on Michael Tombs I was at Coventry College with him in the 50’s I understand there is some archive on his cartoons on your web somewhere, but can’t find anywhere.
