Walking the Ham

Happy New Year, everybody!

My Binket Style is unstoppable!

Happy holidays, guinea fans!

Cooped up GP

The Lyra-pig has been a bit bored lately...

Two for a cool November

It's tough to get those nails looking their brownest...



En garde, hamster!

Three more for the weekend

Another image from the crazy rabbit Oktoberfest this year



In response to the rescue of a stranded manatee named Ilya, we thought we'd update you on how it was actually done. A very wet Eurovan and numerous stops at McDonalds.



Anything's more funny if it's repeated thirty times...

End of October peegs

I really need to stop apologizing for infrequent posts and just get to drawing and scanning.



If you like cute pigs you've definitely seen Balbinka on Flickr. Here is a picture of her on a motorcycle.



Here's guinea dressed as a bun celebrating Oktoberfest. Rock that accordion!

Six weeks too late...

So sorry for the delay. The scanner's been out of service for a while. Here's a pasttime-y type picture to help you remember the lazy summer days...

Even more overdue pics

O bounteous land of itinerant binket salespigs!



Of course, SHE'll tell you she never does it


PS) Congratulations to Michelle Adams for winning the SLGP Favorite Cartoon contest! She received a framed piece of original SLGP artwork and species-wide fame for being such a guinea pig fan. A nation of little guys proudly wheak in your honor! :)

Overdue pics

She's just a little sick...



The cure: seven buns

Airports

I always come through airports with a ton of sketches, and this time was no different:



Checking in at CornAir.



Of course beavers run the security checkpoints...



A portrait of Lyra & me dancing it up.

Three new pics

Thoughtful or just grouchy?



Hot cross buns are not tiny bunnies with weird markings...



Getting ready for bed

Fanciful moments

Happy wet summer day! New pictures for you today. Enjoy!



If Lyra liked tennis and could play against the blanket...



A future shot of when we have a baby-pig to take for a walk...

Looking at the author of these here toons...



Get your trunks and suits on -- it's almost time for the Jersey Shore!

Popcorn and Clay

New pictures, the last from my recent surge. Beginning new surge presently...



They come equipped with their own clay tools...



There's a story in there: something about the Great Chinchilla Popcorn Revolt.

Happy Remembering Day

Happy Three-Day Weekend Day. I hope you are all relaxing and enjoying the beautiful day. If you are considering going to the American Museum of Natural History, you might think twice about braving the crowds and check this picture instead:



Delving into the prehistory of GPs...

May toons, pt 2

More pics from the recent heatwave of drawingness:



Bunny MD's, delivered right to your door...

I have a lot of pictures, some of them of other cute animals. Here are two of those pictures, complete with punchlines to keep the chuckles coming:






A chinchilla explores Romantic poetry...

And don't forget about the contest (see previous entry)!

Choose the Best Cavy Cartoon

Hello all,

Ever wanted a real-live copy of original cartoon artwork? Ever had an opinion about the relative merits of two drawings when set beside each other? Then you can play along in our "Choose the Best Cavy Cartoon" contest.

Vote for your favorite "Secret Life of Guinea Pigs" drawing and you could win the original toon for which you voted, framed up and suitable for display or use as a coaster*.

Just send an email, written in English (or French or Spanish), to secretguinea@gmail.com with your name, email address and the title of the picture you're voting for (it's the name your computer will want to save the picture under if you were to download it). If you like include a brief explanation of why you like that picture. I'll draw a name from a hat and send a picture to the winner.

You have until June 30th to send in your choices. Send multiples if you like, but you will only be entered once into the raffle. If you are the winner, I will contact you about an address to send the prize, but don't give me an address before that moment.

* Some exceptions apply. Some pictures are not extant in anything other than digital form. Others are already on display in other people's homes, including my own. A substitute will have to be found in these instances.

You also must be over the age of 18 or have your parent's permission to receive a mailing from me. Finally, there is a limit to how far I can afford to send a picture (Antarctica might be to far, for example).

Good luck to all and let the contest begin!

Two more this week

Hello boys and girls, here are two more pictures for your week's pleasance:



Razzing the local owl



Just try to imagine this guy's sound as he goes barreling in!

More piggetry

Still more from the recent bonanza:



From the GP infirmary...



Pellets à la Purslane

Les Cobayes en Coleur

I've been gone a few days, and came back with sketches. Here's my first color GP toon:



Lovingly rendering that cabbage...

Spring madness

Spring is here, and in the rush to get outside, I hope you can pause for some pictures:



Lots of ways to use that spare catapult. Next week: Beef Tips Trebuchet!




Images from the 2009 Spring GP Dance-a-thon...

Step aside, Hayden Panettiere

You're no longer the cutest and tiniest of super-heroes:



The city has new savior, Dee Cute!

Pictures

Hoping all of you are surviving this weird spring weather. It's sane in P'ton, but still froggy and unpleasant.



Fresh baked pellet pie!




"We are your over-looooords!"

Springtime and the 1970's

Fashions of the early 1970's




Springtime brings lots of baby buns to our favorite outdoor markets...

One day she'll mow enough lawns to afford a gas-powered mower...

Cooking up good stuff

We're always cooking up good stuff at Chez L-A:



This week: stew!

Airports & shooting (not together in the same place, mind you)

On the target range, that Lyra-pig has a steady hand and an eagle eye. The scope helps too...



Here is the last of the airport pictures from Xmas 2008 (what is it March?) -- I love watching people wait. I need to start taking my sketch book up to Penn Station...
