I feel my calling is to dwell in the sewer.

To celebrate the birthday today of the great Mike Hodges (& certainly not to line our own pockets) @barneyfarmer.bsky.social & I are offering signed prints of our 'Gout Carter' strip.
It would look lovely framed. IN A THIN FRAME!

Cherries long term are kinder to your kidneys

Anyone suffering from gout should eat 8-10 fresh cherries per day or take one slug of the concentrated juice, available at all good health food outlets. Clear it up in no time and prevent recurrence.
And for Christ’s sake avoid strawberries.

It is, well, has been, #NationalZooKeeperWeek
I know right, you're like "why the hell didn't someone tell me earlier, I could've planned something?!" 🤷‍♂️

I saw you across the bar and was wondering if I could palp your concerns.

“Sometimes, carrying on, just carrying on, is the superhuman achievement.”

Almost certainly same room where I had the idea. The working-man’s study.

It's #WorldGinDay
And #NationalBourbonDay

A panel from a comic strip. In it a man with slick black hair and a stern looking face with a cigarette firmly stuck in his determined mouth, looks from the driver's side of a car out of the window. Behind him a woman in a floral top and blonde haor worn in a sixties style looks sternly forward. The Man is saying first "I KNOW simply that the sky will last longer than I, Mrs Fussey. Off panel a speech bubble says "I have sore misgivings" to which the man replied "Put some talcum powder on 'em, kyak yak yak."

Carry on Camus in Viz this issue. Glorious. Life-affirming even.

There's a brand new VIZ in the shops tomorrow.
Buy a copy.

Don't be a Brian 'CANT'.

I’d like someone else to go quietly in my sleep.

How good were those years, really?

I personally am a bleached skeleton scattered across the cracked floor of a dried-up watering hole.

I suppose I’ll get used to the acrid stench of desperation

It’s just like Twitter in the early days, only everyone is middle-aged or just plain old, and exhausted.

Anyway, hilarious non-moving Daffy gif aside..
173 years ago today, Moby Dick was first published in the US. It was a book. And you had to turn the pages yourself.
(P.S. Barney Farmer wrote this but God knows how you tag people in here? I can't even do gifs!)

There’ll be no new leaves turned over here, pal.

Keep an eye out for anyone trying to reimagine their brand.

It is possible, I think, for a person to appreciate a fine silver birch in full leaf at dusk while simultaneously desiring burgers so big you dislocate a thumb wrestling them off the plate, but far from common.

Bah

Sadly those things are not things we can hold in our hands, hoard, use to exert power over others or cram in our mouths.

They’re literally eating human flesh in the other place today, telling each other it’s just ‘banter’. Genuinely upsetting scenes.

Who’s in charge here? Where’s the manager?

It contains an IKEA pencil and a cyanide capsule.
