Dave Walker has burst on to the scene with his brand of wry and understated humour and his unique take on what goes on in local church life. For the last three years he has contributed a weekly cartoon to the Church Times and his first cartoon collection, The Dave Walker Guide to the Church published in August 2006, reprinted twice within a year.  

This is his second calendar and it includes twelve brand new monthly cartoons that are full of all too recognisable scenes and characters from local church life. This year's theme is 'Things to take to Church' (books, sweets, warm clothing etc.) - as well as things best left at home (popcorn, mobile phones, cats etc.).

Dave Walker started drawing cartoons during lectures at bible college and eventually swapped essay writing for a life in humour. His Guide to the Church cartoons appear each week in the Church Times and he writes and draws a daily blog on its website www.churchtimes.co.uk . Being quite good at computers too, his creative community sites www.cartoonchurch.com and www.wibsite.com keep a significant number of church attenders sane – an achievement that undoubtedly led to his being invited to become Cartoonist in Residence at the 2008 Lambeth Conference.
