"Captain Definite" is the alter ego of the Btitish Prime Minister Gordon Brown. Remeber yesterday in my blog I said Gordon Brown was in for a shock, this is why. I also mentioned that my living room floor is covered in painting of footballers and politicians, well Captain Definite is one of those paintings. Captain Definite was created on my living room floor last week by my partner, Gary Barker for the BBC Politics Show Website.Look closely at the image. It's my photo, of Barker's cartoon. Now this is the odd bit. If you look closely you will see that the image I have taken is actually on the tv. Can you imagine sitting down to your to sunday dinner to have the image you have been living with in varied incarnations appear on your own tv. Surreal. Just had to snap it fo the odd shot.
Captain Definite is part of a BBC cartoon strip created by Barker. See BARKER BITES BACK! if you want to see the entire strip, posted one a day from today. Also while your there can you tell him Babooshka would like to hoover, so pick his bloody drawings up.
Want to join Odd Shots Monday?

Pretty amazing shot from the TV! Very cool post!
Great story about the transformation from idea to creation.
I think Captain Definite looks....super. Not sure I can tell Barker to pick up the floor...he bites back.
If Barker bites back after we tell Barker Babooshka is going to (a) broom him or (b) broom the bloody floor, are we likely to get rabies?
We just want to know what the risks are before we rally to Basbooshka's aid. However, don't get the idea from this line of questioning that your reinforcements are timid....
Looking forward to the rest of the Captain Definite series....
j'imagine bien notre Sarkozy avec ce déguisement ;o) cela lui irait très bien ;o)
I guess our Sarkozy with this outfit ;o) that it would be very good ;o)
Dear goodness! I am flabbergasted! This blog has an amazing author who seems to be superherolike herself!
Your Gary is a star - I think his caricatures knock spots off many of the weeklies.Rowson and Bell were fun with Blair but I don't like the Brown depictions at all.
That's a great Captain ... not much sure about the PM but ours is also not great stuff! :)
That's a brilliant photo of the TV! Your man has a great talent, but you're never going to have a clear floor.
Oh that is funny .. both the cartoon AND your request to hoover!
Men...

Lol... wonderful! Yes, that would be an experience to see yourself on tv in that manner!
I love it! I am going to have to look at Barker Bits Back to see more, and to better understand the moniker.
Excellent..
I'll nip over later and check out the rest...
For some reason, I forget to join Odd Shots in 3 consecutive weeks! =D
Captain Definite is perhaps the older superman? hihi...
Both cartoon and idea brilliantly executed. Long way from St Andrews?

Good photo of the TV, and a brilliant drawing, your partner is very talented.
Love your sigth. Thanks for stopping by.
So funny! LOL
Thats okey, put it on your blogroll. My pleasure.
Very funny. It must be strange for you, as you say. Gary is very talented and I really enjoy his cartoons!
To answer your question - Montpellier Garden is named because of the Montpellier Spa, which was named by a French bloke who bought the land it was built on in the 1800's. That whole area of Cheltenham is called Montpellier!
I do not follow British Politics. Sorry. It is a very colourful.They are very good. BBC Isle of Man would be nice.
Great odd shot also a fantastic blog also your partners show was seen by my wife who says she really enjoyed it.
Thanks for your kind comments, stay tune - there's more to come.
He looks a little like our (U.S.) Nixon! Ha!
Great picture and story. The Daily Mail recently ran something similar. If I remember rightly he was shown as someone who was indecisive and was beaten into submission by the Conservatives.
Enjoyed the story along with the photo. I am not surprised that you got such a good photo off the TV -- I did that also not long ago when they showed our tornado which I missed catching myself. Come and see my odd shot.
You must have been very proud to see the floor drawing on the tube!!!
Good shot for the two of you!
I wondered why it seemed to have a frame round it! Now I know.
Good blog. Great photos. Obviously a talented couple.
This is hilarious. Love theirony.
