I re-read it not long back and it is wayyyy darker than I remember from childhood - our copy dates from 1975, so I would only have been 9

Literally don’t know how to describe my cat in this pose - legs, tail, all in a tangle. He is cooked spaghetti that’s clagged together

Very sad to learn that Majella Cullinane has died, she was a great writer and an awesome human, gone too young

Hey hey! I've made the @thespinoff.bsky.social 🙌 Today's toon is of the leader - Trust NZ party - James is one happy camper. thespinoff.co.nz/politics/02-... Let's get the youth voting! Share far and wide please 🙏❤️🔥 #NzPol #Cartoon #Parody
Cartoon. Title: The Voice of reason? 

James lays on his bed in his mums house... and is chatting to his campaign manager about the greatness of the youth not voting. He says "Why hide it? It works better for us when the young people don't vote!" In his room he has all sorts of far right memorabilia. Pepe the frog, the Argentina presidents chainsaw, a MAGA hat and some notable Nz books

My son's an amazing zine artist - he's running two workshops at The Learning Connexion in Wellington. Sept 26 and Oct 24th!

Gen Zine: Make, Publish & Share Your Own Zine
In this practical workshop, you’ll explore what makes a zine, develop your own concept and take it all the way from initial idea to a finished physical zine. You’ll also learn simple ways to copy, rep...

The only good thing about the David Seymour billboards in Hawke's Bay is that they provide a handy guide to which businesses to steer clear of

At 7.30 this morning I went outside in my pajamas and slippers to rescue a pukeko hanging upside down with one leg trapped in the next door vineyard wires. Pukeko is fine. My slippers are damp. How’s your Monday going so far?

I want him to fail so badly, but I worry that he is incapable of feeling humiliated - if he was, he'd have bowed out way before now #ConfidenceOfAMediocreWhiteMale

Wellington comic series. Issue 2. Every character I design continues to change for ~25 pages and then tend to find their true form. This happens even with dozens of character sketches before I begin the comic. #comic

I do comprehend that they are different things which is why I wrote them as two different questions, which probably didn’t need elucidating as to their inference but thank you for making it clearer for anyone who didn’t get it the first time

"How much of your own money have you invested the businesses you ran?" "How exactly did you personally reshape and retool the global conglomerate Unilever and state-subsidised Air NZ, and how enduring have those measures proved?" Why does no one call him on his bullshit? I hate his face

… and thought it must be the radio. Pulls up at my place after at least an hour of driving around, I have to prise Reg the cat out from under the driver’s seat. He is undaunted and this morning is desperate to go out again. He is a moron and a danger to himself and others
Reg the red Burmese in a typical resting position, on his back with legs splayed up out thus making him look like a spatchcocked chicken
