Me in my 20’s: “I don’t really get Talking Heads…” Me 15 years later after 3 passports and a couple of visas, in a beautiful house, with a beautiful wife… “Oooh Fuck Yeah, I Love This”

First hour of The Odyssey: oh ok, here we go… Second hour: Fuck me, this is going on a bit isn’t it? Third hour: Yeah ok, nah this is actually pretty fucking great.

The fact that a man with a bin on his head has failed to be the biggest joke in this by-election is a testament to the entire concept behind Count Binface.

What do you draw for fun? This is always a tricky question when your entire profession is drawing stuff! As a cartoonist / illustrator, drawing ‘for fun’ often feels like an unnecessary addition to the near constant RSI belieguring your drawing hand…

Explaining to English people that best advice for a heatwave like this is all in that film Threads: Get your supplies, cover all the windows, don’t let that radiation in, and hunker down in the dark until it all blows over. Basically don’t go outside and end up like this guy:

Samara Weaving in Over Your Dead Body proving that there is nothing more brutally eviscerating than a blunt, sardonic Australian accent. Fuckin love it.

Need some US v UK insight for a cartoon. Do Americans more often call it a Fancy Dress Party or a Costume Party?, and if the latter, would they still understand the joke if I used ‘Fancy Dress’? - Cheers!

I really don't think cis people understand how pervasive the attempt to remove trans people from public life is, or pay attention to the organizations that have removed us from public life. it's so frustrating sometimes to have this consistent reminder that yeah, we're mostly on our own out here.

“Everyone at the Dinner Party” Very happy to say I’ve finally managed to format this so it’s actually legible here. So, jump on in and see if you can find yourself! Enjoy.

Ok - so, we’ve got a cartoon of a very long table full of people titled “Everyone at the Dinner Party” Each person has a little annotation and an arrow pointing to them, while they generally do the thing that’s written about them - any extra visuals I’ll add in parentheses. Ok - let’s go! The Friend pretending to know about wine because they went to a wine tasting once. The Friend who IS going to show you a picture of their dog. (Standing, with a carton of beer over their head is) The Friend who thought this was a house party and arrived at midnight. The Friend who nobody really wanted to come but it would be weird if they weren’t invited. (This person has two glasses of wine) The really shit fork that nobody wants (This is the only fork on the table with three prongs) The Friend who will tell you the best way to roast potatoes while eating your potatoes (This person is saying “Bla Bla Bla Duck Fat…”) The Smokers who everyone pretends to be disgusted by but is secretly jealous of their ability to regularly extricate themselves. (The arrows here are pointing to two empty seats) The Friend whose story is STILL inexplicably going. (They’re saying “And then, wait for this bit…) The Friend who is only able to talk about that one tv show. (“You haven’t seen it?!” The Friend with a bit of a messiah complex. (This character is positioned in the middle of the table, a nod to The Last Supper of course - he is also the only one that has a water jug suspiciously full of wine in front of him) Second cheapest bottle of wine that everyone bought from the shop. The Friend who is quickly going to check their phone. The Friend who is going to spend the majority of the dinner complaining how ‘phones ruin dinner’. (This friend is staring at the phone checking friend) (Note: There’s a vase with three flowers in it on the table here - remember that) The rival ‘Best Potato Salads’ that nobody was asked to bring. The new boyfriend who seemed ok at first but is now weirding everyone out. (“Want to hear more about how much better natural wine is?”) The Friend who interrupts everyone’s story with their own better version of the same story. The Friend googling everything to show everyone that… “Aaaah, actually…”. The Friend who was all like “Oh my god, yes! I’ll absolutely be there. (Again, this arrow is pointing to an empty seat) The awkward bench seat two guests will stoically share. Person who’s made it their one mission to befriend the disinterested cat. (This person is hovering over the cat) The Cat, who is absolutely furious about all this. (Note: At this point, the table ends and we continue through a door and into the kitchen) The Friend who is offering to do the dishes just so they can escape everyone at the table. The two friends who wished they’d thought of that (the washing up), so are now sharing the one-person drying job. (At the end of the kitchen bench, a solitary figure sits on the bench, helping themselves to a bottle of wine, they are of course…) The host, who might be regretting all this. (Note: we now move out through the back door and into the fire escape, the door here has been propped open by a flower pot missing three flowers that’s been dragged into place. It is here that we find the two smokers, enjoying a cigarette in relaxed silence. The end.

Yeah really takes the terror out of 2001 Space Odyssey knowing that these days HAL would have refused to open the pod bay doors due to just being completely incompetent.

As a science fiction writer I really fucking resent tech bros for ruining the phrase "artificial intelligence." 80 years of it being all about cool androids and interesting computers destroyed by five years of "Spicy autocorrect making everything shittier for money." NEVER FORGIVE.
