Wy's Own Little Tumblr

Another doodle! I know, I'm spoiling you - they're like buses, nothing for ages and then two come along at once. And the Tiniest Chump is responsible for this one too...

Recently, two of the Big Chumps were playing about in a car in front of a camera and Richard told the person behind the camera that he and James had worked together before, as professional dancers. Of course, when someone says something like that I can't resist breaking out the markers!

(If anyone is wondering, the ballet company behind the photos I used as reference for this is all male, but they dance predominantly female roles in drag. I've seen them twice, and they are brilliant)

The Tiniest Chump has been on an adventure. He heard that his real world counterpart had been following in the footsteps of Lawrence of Arabia, and he couldn't resist giving it a go - so he's been through the desert on a camel with no name!

The Busy World of Richard Scarry (1994)

Pea for Jeremy, Creme egg for Hamd and cheese for James. Idk why but that combination seems right in my head.

A list like this has to include the Wienermobile!

I want you to remember:

The fascists hate you too and they just will pretend otherwise until after they've killed the rest of us, before they turn on you.

Thanks to whoever tried, but I knew they'd never allow it.

Let's do it the old fashioned way. Spread it far and wide.

Mari Lwyd for this year's holiday card~✨

It's been a long night at the Tiny Chumps' pub, but they've finally called time on 2024 and wecomed in the new year with a bang.

Thank you everyone for all your support over the last year. It's been a bit of a tricky one for me at times and I've not been as productive as I'd have liked, but the Tiny Chumps aren't going anywhere if I can help it. Let's hope for lots of new adventures in 2025, and whether the old year was good, bad, or indifferent for you, I hope this one is better.

Happy New Year!

I'm a little late bringing you the Tiny Chumps' festive adventure this year, but that's because they've had a break from the farm and spent Christmas at Chumpitree Castle, their second home. This happens to be on the border with Wales, and they tell me that they couldn't get a decent phone signal to let me know what they'd been up to.

It turns out that they've been trying their hands at the Welsh winter tradition of the Mari Lwyd, with Jeremy carrying the spectral Grey Mare and Richard acting as the horse's groom. Normally, the Mari Lwyd goes door to door challenging people to what amounts to a rap battle in the Welsh language. None of the Tiny Chumps can speak Welsh, so James has reached a compromise and is reading some Dylan Thomas instead.

I hope you're all having a wonderful holiday season, whether you celebrate Christmas, Chanukah, Kwanzaa, anything else, or nothing at all. Happy holidays!

And because I'm spoiling you tonight, it's a Tiny Chumps double bill.

Last weekend they held a belated Bonfire Night display down on the Tiny Chumps Farm. Whilst James did all the pre-ignition checks and tried to ensure the event was safe and entertaining for all, Jeremy in particular decided to make things go with a bang.

(Although this was drawn last weekend, I didn't want to post something silly on Remembrance weekend because it didn't feel like the right thing to do, so it's now a bit late but I think that's OK)

Tonight was the BBC's annual charity fundraiser Children In Need, and having a bit more time on their hands now, the Tiny Chumps decided to undertake some sponsored events and raise some money for a good cause. Richard went on a sponsored walk, Jeremy was... encouraged... to do a sponsored silence.

As for James, he decided to spend the day in a bathtub full of Spam and beans. It's not clear whether this was a sponsored event or just a typical Friday for him.

I literally thought of the third one and then it manifested in the notes

The Tiny Chumps are celebrating Halloween with another trip to the movies. This year they're dressing up as the Sanderson Sisters, though being the Tiny Chumps, they had to put their own spin on it... so their version is not so much Disney's Hocus Pocus as Ford Focus Pocus!

I've actually been toying with the idea of this for quite some time and I never quite had a punchline for it until a couple of days ago. And, as usual, when it hit me, I couldn't believe it took me so long. So I hope you like this seasonal slice of silliness. Happy Halloween!

Now the dust has settled, the Tiny Chumps were at a bit of a loose end, but Mr Wilman had a suggestion for them - at this time of year, celebrities with nothing better do get the Strictly treatment, so they should swap their driving shoes for dancing shoes. They still managed to get the wrong end of the stick though; in their world, "Strictly" means "Strictly No Parking".

Here, they're really getting into the swing of things, with Richard giving it the full Fred Astaire, Jeremy as a maraca-toting salsa king, and James... well, nobody's completely certain whether he's ready to rumba or he's just turned up wearing his pyjamas.
