Hi David,

While I am grateful that you took time out of your day to draw me a Penguin, I am dis-pleased with the species you chose.
I very much like Macaroni Penguins did you know:
The Macaroni Penguin (Eudyptes chrysolophus) is a species of penguin found from the Sub antarctic to the Antarctic Peninsula. One of six species of crested penguin, it is very closely related to the Royal Penguin, and some authorities consider the two to be a single species. It bears a distinctive yellow crest, and the face and upperparts are black and sharply delineated from the white underparts. Adults weigh on average 5.5 kg (12 lb) and are 70 cm (28 in) in length. The male and female are similar in appearance although the male is slightly larger with a relatively larger bill. Like all penguins, it is flightless, with a streamlined body and wings stiffened and flattened into flippers for a marine lifestyle.
Any chance you could draw me a Macaroni Penguin like I hinted previously?

Regards,

Ben

I used to make macaroni penguins at primary school, out of macaroni.

He's not going to take the time to react to another e-mail I guess
Some fine looking penguins though!

Hi David,

It's fine that you don't want to draw me a Macaroni Penguin. I once got asked to draw a macaroni Penguin for a child that was suffering from cancer and while I had no choice
because of the moral obligations, I must admit that I was annoyed. They are far more difficult to draw than ordinary Penguins.

While we're talking about Penguins, Congratulations on the book! It's pleasant to see a comical book at a reasonable price at Waterstones bookstore.
I like shopping at waterstones as one of the cashiers has a really nice bum, I think her names Tammy. Do you have any advice on chatting up girls?
I would really like to ask her out on a date.

Regards,

Ben

nailed it

i rekon set up a couple new email accounts to troll him with penguin emails

Hi David,

Some nice work you have i really enjoy chilling out and looking through it
In regards to this can you please draw me a Macaroni Penguin

Thanks in advance
Matt

Love the troll

I'd very interested to see how much emails get edited if they end up on his site.

i dont think they're real emails mate he's a satirist

Oh. I'd sort of assumed they weren't when I first saw them, but was reassured they're real and he's the funniest thing ever. I'm not sure if that takes away from it or not.

My Penguins were used to annoy Simon. I am one of the reasons for Simon's misery!
