A double-header of cartoon goodness this week as our trusty scribe gets to see Alessi’s Ark, Emmy The Great and She Keeps Bees!

Life In Cartoons #12
We had a week off last week. Sorry about that… Wasn’t Anika’s fault mind – we were just poncing about at ATP. Life In Cartoons is BACK though and this week Anika and co. catch Whispertown 2000 in Brixton.

Life In Cartoons #11
Parlez-vous Français? Non? It’s ok neither does Anika – but that doesn’t stop her heading over to France for the day to catch Scary Mansion. Hardcore.

Life In Cartoons #10
Issue 10. In which Anika takes it to the dirty streets of Camden Town for Day 1 of the Camden Crawl – spending pretty much the whole time in the company of Alessi’s Ark and TLOBF’s Peter Bloxham. *Lucky*

Life In Cartoons #9
This week, Anika immortilised in ink The Line Of Best Fit’s club night ‘ILL FIT’ which took place earlier in the week at London’s Scala. Beware of Stephanie Dosen’s creeeeeepy necklace!

The Leisure Society – Tour Diary #3
The final part of The Leisure Society’s tour diary reaches a heartwarming conclusion; with appearances from Elbow’s Guy Garvey, DJ legend Marc ‘Lard’ Riley and a custom made T-Shirt featuring ‘our Anika’s’ comic strip!

Life In Cartoons #8
Another Wildbirds & Peacedrums themed issue, in which Anika’s obsession with the band leads her to seeing them twice in a day. Nom nom. She also hooks up with TLOBF’s RichT who is looking a tad down in the mouth after dropping his phone.

Life In Cartoons #7
This week, a double bill! Anika’s obsession with Wildbirds & Peacedrums continues, she gets lost in Kings Cross, takes a day trip to Brighton and a brand new character is revealed; The Jelly Man!

Life In Cartoons #6
The Leisure Society’s album launch held earlier this week at The Luminaire is cartoonized for the masses. Yes, it’s time for our weekly dose of Life In Cartoons from the pen of Anika Mottershaw.
Life In Cartoons #5
TLOBF staffers Sonny and Pete have now been immortalised in ink alongside strip regulars Anika, Ama and Adam. Exciting stuff. Read on as Anika gets interviewed, eats stuff and takes a Spanish exam. You know you wanna!

Life In Cartoons #4
It’s Friday the 13th: Feared by some but not our Anika.. A great day is spent chowing down on Nandos and catching the awesome Acorn in Brixton. Lucky.
Life In Cartoons #3
This week Anika sees ‘THE BEST SHOW EVER’ – Wildbirds & Peacdrums at The Social. She also runs into ‘The Rock’ who apparently only goes to gigs with female singers. Creepy.

Life In Cartoons #2
In which our hero ventures to the Borderline to catch an intimate M. Ward show only to be scolded by his security guard. She also bumps into a doppelganger of a fellow TLOBF staffer. Spooky.
Life In Cartoons #1
Welcome to our new Saturday cartoon reviews, a gift to you as a bit of light relief from all those wordy reviews you have to sift through during the week – from the pen of Anika Mottershaw.
