Two cartoon cats in a scalloped frame

Neo-trad · Upper arm · Colour · Photo

A white cat and a ginger cat sit side by side inside a purple oval, surrounded by a teal scalloped border with small yellow and pink accents and pink hearts. The linework is bold and dark, with flat, solid fills in purple, orange, pink and teal and little shading. The design fills the frame of the photo, which shows the tattoo on the upper arm against a dark sleeve.

Dear Mabel,

Keep reading

The big top came down on Tuesday. The elephant went off to a farm in Shropshire in a lorry all to himself, which Pip says is more than the rest of us got. Mr Vance sold the striped canvas for the price of a second-hand van, so it's only the two of us now, the pier theatre, and the gulls who think the sawdust was put down for their benefit.

I found your hat behind the ticket booth, the purple one with the bent brim. I know you said you left it on purpose, so you'd have an excuse to come back, but I have kept it dry in the tin trunk under the stage. I am not handing it over until you have eaten the herring I took from the chip van this morning. Fair terms, I think.

Last night I climbed up into the rigging to look at the sea. It lay flat and silver as a dinner plate, and the lamps along the promenade stretched right round the bay like a row of buttons. I thought about you on the trapeze that summer, pretending not to glance down at me while you swung.

Come and fetch your hat before the council takes the pier down for its repairs. Bring the bell collar too. I have grown rather fond of the jingle, and the rats have started to sit up and listen for it.

Yours, as ever, Barnaby
