Print of a comic strip by me who is Stephen Collins. The imagery of the comic starts off with a single electron and then each panel zooms out one step - first to the microchip, then the OLED screen, then the iPhone, the person holding the iPhone, and onwards Script: An electron, forged in the first fire of the Big Bang Courses through a deeply intricate maze of transistors and diodes mined with unfathomable ingenuity from our planetβs deep geological past and assembled from all over the world Into a device perfected through centuries of technological evolution to perform a beautifully synchronised pixel dance on an OLED screen in an intricate moving pattern of shifting light [Show a phone screen with an Instagram post featuring Ryan Gosling and bearing the legend:] WATCH RYAN GOSLING EAT A PASTY FOR THE FIRST TIME! whose choreography is powered by an global information network of unknowable complexity which is specifically tailored to the interests of the being observing the screen who is a member of the most advanced species on Earth [Show a shlubby looking GUY idly looking at the Ryan Gosling/sausage roll Instagram reel on his phone while sitting in his pants and a stained t-shirt and eating a massive bag of crisps] with a brain perhaps more capable of reconfiguring these signals into conscious thought than any other for billions of miles around [Guy has a thought]: βMmmβ¦" in this endless, silent void. [Pull back to show the Earth as a tiny blue dot among the stars with a thought bubble coming from it] "β¦ I want a pasty.β [ends]

Remembrance of Things Pasta She blew her fusilli, my pretty penne, when she found me watching daytime tagliatelle. Β Je ne spaghetti rien, I responded in song, but she did not linguini for long, Β just walked out without further retort: a hard lesson to be tortellini, orzo I thought. Β And so here I am, on my macaroni, and now my days feel cannelloni. Brian Bilston
Happy World Pasta Day to all those who celebrate.

2/2. Everyone using the phrase "land swap" should please specify which Russian territory Ukraine would be getting. So far itβs a euphemism for forcing Ukraine to give things up to Russia.

21.07.2025 11:45 β π 155 π 75 π¬ 6 π 4Comic strip by Stephen Collins, it begins with a nighttime city scene. In the next few panels, a mysterious figure, giant in the moonlight, walks towards us through the skyline. His feet echo "boom, boom" in the empty night. A large title panel declares this character's name: THE TW*T COLLECTOR. He stands, giant, unseen in the empty city night, wearing a big pointy hat on his head, and a sort of long smock. He is carrying a large sack in his hand. Slowly, he raises his arm, his arm extends, freakishly long, longer still, through the open window of a tower block. It reaches inside someone's home, and slowly withdraws, now clutching a protesting, terrified man. The man's wife comes to the window to watch his departure. slowly, the giant raises the little man and inspectes him in his hand. After a pause, the man says "b-but I'm not a tw*t!" There is another pause, after which his wife, calmly from off screen, says "you are a tw*t, dear". The Tw*t Collector summarily throws the man in his bag, which we now see is full of screaming people and is labelled TW*TS, then stomps off into the distance, through the moonlit city.

one from 2015, I think.
This started as being about 'unfit people suddenly getting back into tennis because Wimbledon's on', but as I was writing turned into a thing vaguely about, being an imposter in your own job, or even your body? Which was much more interesting. it's fun when that happens
