There’s a bit of #CCPickleGreen for #colour_collective in this zhuzhed piece. And I think this cat is definitely called Pickle too! Now it’s back to tackling the to-do list for me! 💜

A children’s picture book illustration of a sleepy calico cat that has just woken up from a nap in a flowerpot full of nasturtiums, surrounded by a sunny garden with a blue-painted fence.

How pleasant, bobbing along

An illustration of a jar containing two cartoony pickles (or gherkins depending on where you're from!) swimming about in pickling liquid which also contains mustard seeds, some pieces of onion and a sprig of dill. One further pickle is in the process of diving into the mouth of the jar from the lip.

Week Seven: Lesley's perfect dessert sounds heavenly, even if it might be the ultimate artery clogger.

#bakeoff #greatbritishbakeoff #GBBO #GBBO2025 #meringue #applepie #icecream #clottedcream #custard #baking #bakes #comic #illustration

A cartoon illustration of a plate holding a slice of apple pie. The pie is topped with custard which runs off it and forms a pool on the plate. Above it are stacked two scoops of ice cream, the bottom one vanilla and the one above chocolate. Topping this pile of indulgence is a generous dollop of clotted cream, which is slowly oozing its way down. Lurking behind this is a cartoon woman with black rimmed glasses and reddish-brown hair, gazing upon it all with awe as love hearts float around her head.

That's a great theory that makes a lot of sense

That's pretty amazing, esp when compared with huskies and labs! Where does all the hair come from, they look like they barely have any

It's the return of rock hyrax gourmand Rizzo, enjoying an explosive cherry tomato this time.

An illustration of rock hyrax biting into a cherry tomato with great enthusiasm, causing flesh and seeds to spurt out and juice to run out of her mouth.

It's nice to see that it's a shared experience 😂 In the early days, she did used to run around the ball when we threw it but now she ignores everything.

Week Five: Noel is overwhelmed by Nataliia's bench organisation during Chocolate Week.

#bakeoff #greatbritishbakeoff #GBBO #GBBO2025 #chocolate #baking #comic #illustration

A cartoon illustration of a dark-haired woman hiding her face with some paper in embarrassment. Behind her, a goth man in a dark shirt is half-submerged in orange "lava" chocolate sauce, which is pouring out from a chocolate volcano. Around him are a myriad of baking utensils and food items. He is saying in some distress "This is like an episode of Hoarders!".

I've heard that, too! No personal experience here either, I've only had the one so far and she really surprised us with the shedding 😅

I've drawn a galaxy doughnut before. Now it's time for a galaxy doggo doughnut 🍩

I've become a bit obsessed with black greyhounds with white ticking, a combo I didn't know existed until recently.

#CCPrussianBlue #colour_collective #greyhounds #blackgreyhound #snowflakehound #dogs #illustration

An illustration of a black greyhound covered in small white spots, or "ticks", sleeping curled up in a tight ball. The background is dark blue fading into black, with white stars mimicking the white spots on the dog.

Celebrating all those lovely black doggos on #BlackDogDay!

Black dogs are less likely to be adopted than those with lighter coloured coats. However, they are just as beautiful, loving and in need of forever homes. #blackdoglove

An illustration of a black greyhound from the side, doing a downward dog stretch. The words "Ooh big stretch" go across its body in white writing.

Week Four: Tom admits that his contribution to his local summer fete could have gone better during Back to School Week.

#bakeoff #greatbritishbakeoff #GBBO #backtoschool #fete #summerfete #facepainting #baking #comic #illustration

A cartoon illustration of the side view of a tall, blonde man who is wearing a blue t-shirt. He is holding a paintbrush in his right hand and a face paint palette in his left, and is leaning towards another man. The second man is bald and wearing a light blue, short-sleeved shirt. He is less than impressed with his face paint, which is orange with black lines across it in the manner of a basketball. The text above says "He was like, 'Can you make me a tiger?'".

An #Afghan hound on an #autumn afternoon amble.

An illustration of a red and cream Afghan hound having a walk in some woodland in autumn, stirring up the crisp red and golden leaves as it goes. Its nose is pointed up, giving a snooty (pun intended) "I'm fabulous" air as its lustrous mane flows behind it.

Week Three: Tom carries on with important business in less than ideal conditions created by Noel and Jasmine during Bread Week.

#bakeoff #greatbritishbakeoff #GBBO #breadweek #bread #baking #noelfielding #comic #illustration

A cartoon illustration of the side view of a tall, blonde man who is wearing a blue jumper, black trousers and a beige apron, leaning over a workbench. He is holding an unattractively shaped log of chocolate in one hand and a paintbrush in the other, with which he is attempting to finesse said chocolate log. He's a bit stressed and saying "...trying to make this not look like a poo". Some items are bouncing off him, having been shot from out of frame.

A cartoon of two people who are flicking bits of bread dough at the first person. One is a tall, lanky goth man wearing a black shirt covered in a pattern featuring various breads. The other is a woman rocking double denim. They are drawn in a super deformed style to emphasise that they are being cheeky monkeys who are tormenting a poor baker who is just trying to making chocolate look less faecal in nature. For shame.

Week Two: Pui Man shares her strategy for Biscuit Week.

Honourable mentions to Aaron who got his fingers burned, and Nadia again who seems like she'll keep on delivering!

#bakeoff #greatbritishbakeoff #GBBO #GBBO2025 #biscuitweek #biscuits #baking #comic #illustration

A cartoon illustration of a woman with black hair in a ponytail, wearing a red and white top, red cardigan and pearl necklace with a gold letter "S" in the centre. She has her hands up by her shoulders and is saying "have a little dance" as she does a little bop.

Cartoons of two people. The top one is of a bearded man with short cropped hair. He is blowing on his burnt, red fingers in mild distress and saying "Noel's hot!". The bottom one features a woman with long brown hair in a ponytail, saying "I hope he actually swallows it and enjoys it".
