The other day on a Tamil channel on cable TV, I saw an advert for rat poison which basically stated that it would do the job of the cat. That set me thinking- an assassin cat, a hit man cat. Licensed to kill. So here's my version.

Babu comes to life
Babu is the name of this waiter who forms part of the logo for the trademark for "Curry in a Hurry" which I registered in Singapore in 1999 and have since renewed.
He lay dormant all these years until in January 2013 when my wife Ramani opened a food stall at Simei ITE College under this name.
Why don't you check out the food there on weekdays? Parking is free.Babu is ready to serve you with delicious spicy Sri Lankan and Indian meals to a home made recipe.
I named him Babu as it is a common South Asian name, easy to pronounce and remember.
Also one of our relatives nicknamed Babu works in the F&B industry in Europe.
Challo!

Baby trains of Sri Lanka
Sri Lankans tend to refer to local train services as "baby trains". These consist of a locomotive hauling one or two coaches running between a few towns and villages as a shuttle service.
Gyan Fernando's recent posting reminded me of this.

So it sounded ideal material for a sketch.....

Animal Antics
From an idea floated by our eldest daughter when she was just entering university. Playing around with common phrases.
A Singaporean term referring to someone who is clueless. Sotong means squid in Malay- an animal not noted for it's high intelligence. Blur as in öut of focus" or not sharp.I think you get the picture.
Common species in Singapore. O$P$ is shorthand for Owe Dollar, Pay Dollar, a threatening reminder to defaulters and late payers. They used to paint it on the door with pig's blood but now they use red paint....... due to acute shortage of pigs in Singapore.
Trains
Originally drawn for another website which I am winding down. Trains and cartoons have both been interests since childhood.
The Ghan-runs through Australia's outback.
The 20th Century Limited- New York to Chicago
Amtrak Surfliner- down the west coast of California
Santa Fe Railroad's Chief
Just plumb loco!
