So you’re telling me the Wizard of Oz presented itself as a towering force of overwhelming technology, only to be unmasked as just some guy, off-screen?

A cartoon drawn live at Herne Bay Cartoon Festival. First panel- A man on the beach is having his chips stolen by a gang of seagulls.  One of them steals his phone instead. Second panel - The seagull with phone in hand (wing) is receiving a massive amount of chips from a Deliveroo driver having placed an order with the phone.

Cis people being weird about trans people makes me think about king crabs.
Bear with me for this one because it will make sense.
You know king crabs, right? Giant crab, lives up north, has long legs, very expensive and tasty, featured on many a mukbang
Did you know they are technically not crabs? 1/

Help me raise at least Β£1000 for the Bumblebee Conservation Trust‬ by donating to my campaign to draw 1000+ bumblebees in as short of time as I can (around 3 hours)

If more than Β£1000 is raised, I'll draw #bees to match the amount.

At least three people have been saved from having to pay interest on an unpaid tax bill by me posting this today, and that is definitely time better spent than, say, sending queries to agents in an attempt to prove they don’t read πŸ˜‡πŸ˜†

Am about to lift the following from a thread I did once in the Olim Bird Place, but if I leave a legacy behind, please let it be the legacy of coining the term The Chortlemuffin effect. The Chortlemuffin Effect describes a citational chain leading to bullshit. /1

Riddle Ages

Something that devours words – but cannot understand.
There’s a great commentary about the poem online. Reminds me of when I, as a student, learned about it. We students were also, sometimes, bookworms in the pejorative sense! Reading but not comprehending.

Genuine call to any DC writers/editors that people reeeeeeally love my dogs.
My daily dogs sketches a day were a big smash & my kid's book about dogs is much-loved.

Would be up for a #Krypto #superman comic or strip.
