About Scribbly G

I’m Scribbly G, a jungle cartoonist and storyteller living in a tree in South Africa with my loyal companion, Bob—a lion with a taste for adventure. My artistic journey began years ago in my hometown village of Ed En Vale. As a child, I loved sketching the village elders on the sides of trees. Unfortunately, they didn’t share my sense of humor. My “creative interpretations” led to my banishment, and so began my life in the jungle.
Armed with nothing but my coconuts and imagination, I said goodbye to the goats and set out into the unknown. That’s when I met Bob, my fearless lion friend. Together, we’ve explored the depths of the jungle, and I’ve recorded our adventures on tree trunks across the land.
One day, a curious pale-faced stranger arrived in a “magic metal bird.” He had heard of my art and wanted to publish it in something he called a “magazine.” I didn’t know what that was, but he offered me a fizzy black drink called Coca-Cola and promised a Snickers bar if I agreed to let him share my work online and in magazines. He took me on a ride in his magic bird to a land called Eng. This land was cold and windy, the people complain about everything and they worship a man with the greatest ears that would make even the biggest of elephants jealous. Seeing this man made me miss my homeland so I asked if curious pale-face could please take me home.
I continued my work, drawing and making jokes about the village elders, and soon, my fame spread across South Africa. Another visitor eventually found me, eager to learn my craft. I taught him everything I knew about creating art on unconventional surfaces. As he was leaving, he thanked me, calling me Scribbly G. I had forgotten his name, so I made one up on the spot: “Bunksie,” which I told him meant “wise artist.” He smiled and said, “Hmm, Banksy. I like that.” Sometimes, I wonder if he ever pursued his artistic dreams.
When I’m not drawing, you can find me swinging on jungle vines or hanging out with the animals. If you’d like to visit, I live at Tree 4392891, right next to Big Little Brown Rock. You can’t miss it.

I must go now, Bob is hungry.
