"I really have a secret satisfaction in being considered rather mad."

A wonderful site devoted to the art of W Heath Robinson. I first came across Heath Robinson's work in the wonderfully batty Professor Branestawm books, way back in the late 1960s or early 70s. The site contains a tremendous selection of Heath Robinson's artwork. I was familiar with his bizarre inventions, but I until now I hadn't seen much of his other work.

It's hard to choose a favourite from the likes of Multi-Tennis, The screw-stopperer for plugging the muzzles of the enemy's rifles, Some occasions when a gentleman is not expected to give up his seat to a lady and How they cope with the new year's demand for Shredded Wheat. If pressed, I'd probably have to go for Multi-Tennis, just because it looks like fun to watch - from a distance, that is.
