I’m loving all this wordplay. It’s great fun trying to wrestle words together into a correct form, flow and funniness. Brilliant stuff. I should have hired you guys when I did my book!!

Nice job Chris.
Does this match up with any real company livery? Was it done with the isometric grid?
My only critique, is the low contrast between the land and sea. The plane and bus icons are really cute, but I would prefer it if they were a different colour as the people who read these maps , are generally in a rush.
I do like a good map, they really do make a difference. OS maps should really be global in my view.
 
Do you know of these lads on YouTube? They do videos on maps and trains. Enjoy!
Jay Foreman and Mark Cooper-Jones are MAP MEN! Two men with a passion for geography have joined forces to make a YouTube series all about the world's weirdest and funniest maps. JAY FOREMAN - @jayforeman MARK COOPER-JONES - @markcooperjones
 
Geoff Marshall, has quite a few feats up his sleeve when it comes to travelling by train and tube. He even made a map of the Underground using people!
 
 
Hope you find these channels interesting.

Alfred, I do believe you've cracked it. Good work Sir.   I had to look up that word...Although I'm sure Jennifer doesn't want to go shopping for a wet & dry carpet cleaner! It's not her fault. It's Georges's!   Scansion NOUN the action of scanning a line of verse to determine its rhythm. "the verse defies easy scansion" the rhythm of a line of verse. "triple scansion"

The poem, mask or virus..?
Please not the last one! LOL

Cuteness personified, indeed 🥰
I'd happily watch a hamster stuff it's cheeks with all manner of goodies, just has in my opinion a certain meditative quality if one is stressed 👌  
 

This was one of those silly ideas that just needed to be done.
My partner has 4 gerbils and her sister has a single male hamster. 
So I thought it would be funny to knock up a rough and ready card, based on my photos and a stock picture of the web. To make it look more studenty, I made the photos look cheap 'n' cheerful, stuck on the main picture, with Dymo tape styled messages from each rodent, pasted onto something resembling a cork board.
Not one to plagiarise, honest...some of the messages might look familiar.
Yes, everybody loved it.

Sometimes restrictions, such as colour, texture, format, media etc can actually trigger the brain to unleash the hidden talents. This might not have worked as well, if the animation software was better to work with.
(And now for something completely different)
Happy New Year, may it be Covid and restriction free.

Oh, Kasper, Kasper, Kasper! Have you been OD'ing on the Monty Python boxsets again?
The joke about taking of the masks-is-too-much-like-hard-work-to-animate was pure genius!
I must admit to needing the subtitles, damn those face masks, making conversations difficult!

Well, it's been a pretty awful year. let's hope things will start to improve. Here's my New Year video, made with APhoto and MoviePlus. For those who can't understand the lads' Black Country accents (which will be most of you, I expect!) I've provided subtitles in English -- click on the little icon in the bottom right-hand corner.
 

Is this creative enough for you?

@eejits  I am so glad you have finished your first book.  I have ordered four copies, plus your Bahootchie game and look forward to giving them as special presents.  With a few months to go, I hope you will consider a boxed set (4 or 6) of assorted Christmas cards.  In the USA they ought to be sold at Barnes and Noble!   For a handsome sum.

I love them all!
I absolutely understand the meter and syllables stuff of poems. It’s what I struggled with when creating the new eejits book. It’s full o’ creatures and rambunctious rhymes. Obviously there are some better than others but it was a lot of fun working them out and trying to get the meter right. It’s bloody tricky.
Thank you guys for your continued inventiveness and creativity. Your inspiring me to get my finger outta my ass and get more eejit Greetin’ Cards done. I only have two in my shop.....
George

Jennifer (or should that be Ed?) for that. The pickier the better, I won't improve otherwise.
Glad my late night, rough draft of a poem was good enough to awaken the ghosts-of-journalists passed. Every good writer needs a better editor...you're hired! Who wants to read Christmas card ditties in January? I did this in about 30 minutes, as it was getting late. I understand  what you said about the whole syllable and rhythm trick to produce the correct stanza (I hated poetry at school, it just wasn't my thing, comedy was!). 
The inclusion of the word 'new', although one syllable too many was shoved in to demonstrate the frustration of having to put up with three changes of tier in as many days...grammar vs feeling vs flow.
This is what I call the Armstrong Syndrome, (that's Neil: not some liar called Lance) where the exclusion of one extra word can change the whole line and possibly context. Always a bane!
Up there with Shelly and Keats...wow, thank you for that.
I did throw in a Peter Gabriel/Genesis reference with his Carpet Crawlers single. Showing my fondness for throwing in the odd paper trail.
Thumbs up for that pun about the spruce and needless.
Let's see how George enjoys this.
 
Thanks for the feedback and tutoring.
 

Great work George!
Jennifer, you've started a whole new idea for Eejit themed Christmas cards, so here's my tuppence/2 cents worth...
(This terrible rhyme below was being sung(?) on that wee sweetie's doorstep, through muffled face-masked, choir singers. Might explain why he's not a happy chappy.)
 
Oh, Christmas tree
Oh, Christmas tree
It's Bah Humbug
From him to me
 
Oh misery guts
Oh misery guts
That smile you'd crack
Is as hard as nuts
You've had enough
Of Christmas cheer
Face masks slipping
And another new tier.
 
Oh, Christmas tree
Oh, Christmas tree
Why do you bring him
Such misery?
 
It's not as if
He had to clean
That carpet crawling
With needles green
 
Oh Affinity 
Oh Affinity
Without Eejits
Where would we be?
 
(If you're gonna throw tomatoes at me, please use fresh...not tinned ones!)

Hey o!!!
Hows ye all doing?!? Good I hope! Here’s a new wee eejit for your viewing pleasure! Meet eejitus couldnatakeanothermoothfulium: a greedy wee critter that stuffs himself silly. But never fear, a good burp & a fart later and he’s ready for more! Diners beware!
George
P.S. I have recently launched eejits on Patreon where I am uploading exclusive sketches, art & posts as well as sending out great eejit rewards to supporters. If you like to help my merry band o’ creatures then you’d be more than welcome over on www.patreon.com/eejits Thank you! 

i thought it about I created a new eejit, so here's something Christmas-sy?!? Say hello to the newest member of the eejits family: eejitus bah-humbugium A not-so-sweet creature with a disdain for anything festive......

Cheers jer! Glad you liked them! Thanks for popping over and commenting, it is very much appreciated.
 
You can thank Peter for putting my singed wee guy on top of the burner. He's always adding great ideas into the mix!
 
George

George, thanks for referring me over to this post. What a hoot! All your eejit chrs are terrific! The singed one with the match standing on the burner cracked me up! My day has been made!
:D

Thank you. I’m hoping it’s going to be a FANTASTIC year for eejits!
George

That is so kind. George is the genius with the incredibly inventive mind.  I can't draw a straight line with a ruler and would give my right arm (left-handed) to be able to draw what I see in my head!  On the other hand (left hand), I am told that I learned to talk at 9 months, and -- obviously -- have never stopped!   H'm'm'm'm.  

Haha thanks Peter and for the rhyme too. That’s stellar work that!
Looking forward to seeing where all this takes me and my eejits! Woohooo! Can’t wait  
George

Looking back, I remembered this delightful pre-Covid fellow, and thought he rather represents the world-view these days.  So with more apologies to @eejits, here is his ditty.  (Maybe)
 
Well, that was that.  Harrumpf -- it's done,
They sang their songs.  They had their fun.
The feast has gone, the pud' - oh drat!
Enough I say, they're getting fat.
"Merry..." they cry.  I want my jugium.
You want me to smile?  Bah Humbugium!
