Two things by people called Dave today:

Our friend Dave Walker draws cartoons, but has so many things on the go - CartoonChurch.com, CyclingCartoons.com, not to mention his own site.

And as well as doing his own Advent Calendar of Cartoons (web link, Facebook link) he has drawn a Christmas cartoon for Greenpeace's Save The Arctic campaign:




Dave Hopwood is a Christian writer and speaker, particularly focusing on faith and film. His website is at http://davehopwood.com/

Four shepherds, 
Three wise men, 
Two startled doves, 
And a baby to set the world free.
