“When I’m Killin’ Zombies!” – George Formby Parody Song
When I’m Killin’ Zombies
*To the tune of “When I’m Cleanin’ Windows” by George Formby.
Now I go killin’ zombies to keep m’self alive
Wandering round the suburbs with me handy MP5
Now it’s a job that don’t suit me
But zombie killer you would be
If you could see the hell I see
When I’m killin’ zombies
Armageddon’s just a blast!
If only virus worked that fast
The things I do to save me arse
When I’m killin’ zombies
In my profession I’ll work hard
But I’ll never stop
I’ll kill these blasted zombies
Until I’ve had me lot
The zombie bride, she looks divine
The groom escaped her just in time
A wedding’s just a battle line
When I’m killin’ zombies
The living dead just want your brains
Don’t care for your cash or chains
The streets run red until it rains
When I’m killin’ zombies
The virus claimed this camera guy
Who ate the brains of Stephen Fry
Who knew the dead could quote QI?
When I’m killin’ zombies
In my profession I’ll work hard
But I’ll never stop
I’ll kill these blasted zombies
Until I’ve had me lot
Undead walking side by side
Arms outstretched and eyes all wide
There’s no emotion left inside
When I’m killin’ zombies
—— Instrumental ——
This living nightmare ain’t no fun
I’d never leave without my gun
Won’t stop until the battle’s won
When I’m killin’ zombies
My comrade clutches his behind
Got bitten on his… never mind
Natural selection isn’t kind
When I’m killin’ zombies
In my profession I’ll work hard
But I’ll never stop
I’ll kill these blasted zombies
Until I’ve had me lot
A zombie staggers down the street
One head shot and that guy’s dead meat
I’ll shoot ‘em back until I’m beat
When I’m killin’ zombies
When I’m killin’ zombies

New Logo Design for Sterry Cartoons
On the subject of Random Penguin…
This is a silly little song I wrote a little while ago after my friend suggested writing something about penguins. It’s recorded, but I want to record the vocals again – I’m not quite happy with them yet!
Penguin! Penguin! Penguin!
Ba-da-da-daa, da-da-daa…
They’re coloured black and white,
Don’t mind the cold at all,
They eat members of schools,
But they’re not cannibals.
(Oh yeah, yeah, yeah!)
They’re always dressed in tails
And huddle up for heat.
They’re used to icy gales
And mate on icy sheets.
(Ooh yeah! *silly voice*)
Penguin! Penguin! Penguin!
Get back in the sea!
You’re a bird that can’t fly.
When the ice melts you’ll die.
Don’t breathe fishy breath on me!
They like to live in guano,
But don’t think it’s the slums.
They don’t like mecchano,
‘Cos they’ve got no thumbs.
(I’ve got opposable ones.)
With breeds like macaroni
You might think they’re tasty,
But the Emperor penguin
Banned penguin pastries.
(So there!)
Penguin! Penguin! Penguin!
Get back in the sea!
You’re a bird that can’t fly.
When the ice melts you’ll die.
Don’t breathe fishy breath on me!
(Or I’ll have you for tea)!

Sterry Cartoons Competition Results!
Hello and thank you to all of the the people who suggested cartoons for my mini competition. There were quite a few good ones, both on Sterry Cartoons facebook page and on twitter (@HannahSterry).
TOP 3 FACEBOOK SUGGESTIONS:
“It’s PC gone mad!” ~ Bilgeboy Bob
“The iphone” ~ Pete Foreman
“Isambard Kingdom Brunel trying to construct Ikea furniture.” ~ Mitch Mitchell
I have already drawn two of these (and a bonus Rabbit Pi), just for fun:
The iphone! Requested by Peter Foreman.
“It’s PC gone mad, I tell you!” by Sterry Cartoons. Cartoon requested by Bilgeboy Bob.
Rabbit Pi by Hannah Sterry (Sterry Cartoons)
Tonight’s project is going to be drawing Isambard Kingdom Brunel and possibly Miss Von Trapp (she’s got a little mini competition going on).
Friendly Tweeting
I was chatting to a few lovely people on twitter and asked whether they’d like some cartoons too. Here’s what they came up with:
I’ll be drawing and posting these throughout the week and have already started sketching them! I might draw a few more, because some of the suggestions were so good!
Hope you’ve all had a good week and keep creating! 😀
It’s PC gone mad, I tell you!
Last week I asked people to send in their requests for Sterry Cartoons on Facebook and here’s the first completed cartoon!
This particular request was from ‘Bilgeboy Bob’, who suggested:
A crossed eyed cartoon computer with tongue hanging out, jumping up and down – caption “It’s PC gone mad, I tell you!”
I think I got most of it, except the jumping up and down part. I really enjoyed drawing the ridiculous expressions! 😛
‘Like’ Sterry Cartoons on Facebook for more silliness!
Fathers’ Day Feature
This bit of the post is a few days late. My dad drew me this cartoon on Fathers’ Day and made me smile, so I thought I’d share it with you too. If you ever need a cool saxophonist or someone to quote amusing bits of Jasper Carrot and Blackadder, he’s the guy to ask!
Anyway, I’d better get on with drawing the next of my silly cartoons. This time the suggestion is from Pete Foreman, who had a load of brilliant requests:
A knapsack with sleeping cats in it? An old fashioned telephone that, instead of a number wheel, has an eye in the centre of it (an iPhone)? In a similar vein, a pocket watch? A handbag?
Hopefully I’ll manage to complete one of them tonight! x
Thanks to Liz and Katy for the #BespokeBallads!
This arrived in my inbox today! Liz and Katy chose to write one of their #bespokeballads about me! 😀
https://twitter.com/bespokeoffers/status/336583259070803968
I jokingly asked for one of the #bespokeballads a few days ago, but didn’t expect anything, so I was delighted (and amused) today when I found they’d written a song for me. They made me giggle!
LYRICS
Hold the front page, stop press!
Hannah’s got a story in the South West.
Sterry’s really growing Plymouth Art more.
It’s a smelly faux pas mis-typing Dartmoor!
You may think she’s only a reportist,
Look a little closer she’s a sweet jazz flautist.
We didn’t bring a flute, didn’t think we oughta,
But the flute’s really only a sideways recorder.
[Recorder Solo]
Quick, Stop The Press!
There’s a budding flower!
Another huge story on #devonhour!
Pawprints on the bed; inconsiderate cat!
While Sterry’s getting merry on the #spiritchat!
Harp Solo!
If you’re all wiped out from making animation,
It doesn’t even need to be an occasion,
If four of you want some razzmatazz,
There’s a five course meal with cocktails and jazz!
Katy and Liz are on twitter too, so they’d probably love a few follows and comments. Let them know what you think!

Thanks for reading and hope you’re as amused as I am! 😀
Shaving a Cactus
Vanity is very silly.
I don’t really understand why there’s so much pressure for women to shave off various areas of body hair. You only have to leave it for a few days and the the hair is back… your legs feeling like they’re covered in hundreds of tiny cactus spikes. Might as well save the money on razors and use the time to draw silly cartoons of cacti instead!
People are funny animals.
