Our dressing up box is a bit constrained by budget. There's a Henry the Eighth, a caveman and a Lone Ranger.

New Viz on sale today. And to show that there's more to Viz than smutty jokes and puerile innuendo, there's a sophisticated cartoon strip about the composer FrΓ©dΓ©ric Chopin performing a piano recital for Queen Victoria and Prince Albert at Lancaster House in 1848

I took the bus into town and bought the new Half Man Half Biscuit album on cd from our local branch of HMV, if you were wanting to verify my age

Did a couple of illustrations for the new issue of @thefence.bsky.social, which is in the shops now. Or you could subscribe for under Β£25 for a year - that's the price of, what, 4 or 5 pints? And a subscription to The Fence doesn't make you have to get up for a piss at 4am.

It's certainly not a very Hegel-y thing for him to say. And that likeness of him is almost shit enough for me to have drawn it.

God, I knew I recognised him in that Morse, but never twigged that he was the "shovels-and-rainfall" enthusiast robber from Eric Olthwaite. And Jesus.
