Wanting to punch everyone on The Traitors is a necessary stage of enjoying the show

Space Live: the new TV channel streaming absolutely spellbinding footage of Earth … forever ITVX’s perpetual real-time broadcast from the International Space Station is awe-inspiring … until it gets boring. But even though it’s hard to watch for long, it’s a humbling reminder of who we are

We're all watching earth from space today right? www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

This is a supplement cover and interior illustrations for the Guardian's Saturday Lifestyle section, for a piece about school Whatsapp groups for parents. The scene is a primary school playground, signed 'St Ping's Primary', and at the gates is a mum who's just dropped her daughter off to school. The mum is looking at her school whatsapp on her phone, and above  her is superimposed a string of recent messages from the chat. At the top is her message, saying "Finally convinced her to wear the costume", accompanied by a photo of her daughter dressed in a bumble bee costume, looking furious at her mum for making her wear it. Underneath that message, is a series of messages from the other parents trying to tell her it's not fancy dress day today - but the mum is already in the car and doesn't see those messages. So the whole image of the playground has lots of kids at drop-off wearing normal school uniform, all looking at the little girl standing in the middle of the playground in her bee custume, looking furious at her mum who has just dropped her off, and is realising her mistake while reading the Whatsapp. In the interior illustrations, there is a series of parents who have just woken up, all posting to each other trying to work out if it's is swimming lessons today - and then suddenly one of the mums accidentally posts a picture of her privates to the group - then posts "Oops sorry wrong group" and then leaves the group. We see all the other parents looking very surprised.

In today's Guardian (not online yet) I drew a section cover and column illos for a great piece by @heritage.bsky.social about parents' WhatsApp groups. It was one of those jobs where I got *way* too into details/narrative design, trying to make single illustrations read across page like a comic.

Honestly, the squeal I did when I realised you were going to illustrate it

Netflix just deleted Call My Agent while I was in the middle of a rewatch. This is war.

Anyone want a hastily written Christmas cash-in parody book called The Bullshit Path?

YouTube video by Lionsgate Movies Now You See Me: Now You Don’t (2025) Official Trailer

The sound effect that accompanies Jesse Eisenberg's eyebrows 46 seconds into this trailer is the most unintentionally funny thing I have seen for many years youtu.be/-E3lMRx7HRQ?...
