Been too long since I did one of these. Obvious comic is obvious.

Three panel comic strip featuring Cartoon Wayne and the chicken who lives on his head in the form of a sarcastic sideburn.

Wayne: Being unable to gig due to caution about COVID has been driving me mad!

Wayne: So I've started live streaming music twice a week on Twitch.
Chicken: How's it going?

Wayne: Fun! But very few people show up...
Chicken: Perfect. Just like your gigs..

[Jersey Tiger Moth] We have a very distinguished visitor this evening, hanging out on the window of the kitchen door. I'm not letting them in though.

A large Jersey Tiger moth outside a glass window with a yellow-spotted reddish wings and a plump yellow body with black spots down the middle of it. The black background behind the moth is a reflection of the phone the photo was taken with; blurry details of the room interior are visible around the edges, including the bearded middle aged photographer on the right of the photo.

I'll be playing a solo set of songs tomorrow evening at 8pm UK time as part of #RFFF25 over at party.radiofreefedi.net so I've made a small picture to celebrate. If you can't make it tomorrow, there's a series of live streams happening over there […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Background is a blue-tinted seaside scene on a cloudy day at low tide with sand and rocks in the foreground, with a shallow expanse of seawater beyond and higher land beyond that across the horizon, with an ironwork footbridge visible towards the right hand side. Text overlay reads 'wayne birthday stream' at top, and '2025-07-23, 8pm UK time party.radiofreefedi.net' below.

[MIttens] Mittens. Mittens Of Chaos! I made the mittens again, this time using what I had hoped would be a nice and colourful sort-of self striping yarn from my lovely local yarn shop. They somehow came out a bit more Brighton hipster than I'd hoped for […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

A pair of mittens lying on a wooden table. The mittens are made from a self-striping yarn but the stripes have not been matched. The result is a bit chaotic.

If a joke is worth making, it's worth making twice in a row, the second time slightly less effectively. As such, I present: Elon Musk Teaches Chess - Part Two: comic.conniptions.org/comics/796.ht… #chess #uspol #musk

Six panel cartoon.

Panel one: Elon Musk's head on the body of a chess pawn surrounded by heading text reading 'Elon Musk Teaches Chess', with sub-title "The American Gambit Part Two".

Panel two: Above, a chessboard after the following moves: 1. e4 e5 2. d4 exd4 3. c3 dxc3 4. Bc4 cxb2 5. Bh6 bxa1=Q 6. Qxd7. The last move is given on the right with double exclamation marks. Below, Musk says: It's time we got rid of the worthless DEI hire in our own camp!

Panel three: Chessboard: 6... Qxd7 7. Bxf7+!! Musk: Another brilliant innovation, attacking the Black king and giving check, which as expert like me know, is very nearly checkmate.

Panel four: Chessboard: 7... Kxf7 8. Bxg7!! Musk: This move reprograms the matrix to make success one of the possible outcome. Black will not be expecting this.

Panel five: Chessboard: 8... Qxb1+ 9. Ke2!! Musk: A spite check, but don't worry, America! I am policing myself.

Panel six: Chessboard: 9... Qhd3# Musk (now wearing sunglasses): It's checkmate, which means we win.

Footnote: In next week's masterclass, Donald Trump shares his insights on the Najdorf Sicilian Poisoned Pawn Variation.

Alienating my already tiny comics audience still further with a cartoon poking fun at one of the most unpleasant people on the planet via the medium of an extremely niche hobby, I present Elon Musk Teaches Chess: comic.conniptions.org/comics/795.ht… #chess #uspol #musk

New comic, this one the unmitigated gall of AI experts urging caution to users of DeepSeek: comic.conniptions.org/comics/792.ht… #comic #AI #DeepSeek

Three panel comic with a guy in a sober blue suit and sunglasses wearing a blue clown wig, a red clown nose and a tall pointy yellow clown hat with two large red buttons on it. Text of script as follows:

Clown: As an AI expert, I urge caution to users of the new Chinese AI platform DeepSeek.

Clown: You just don't know where your data goes! It could even be used to spread misinformation on behalf of an authoritarian regime!

Clown: Unlike US-based platforms that er... um... ah...

[Knitting, mittens] Mittens complete! They're not brilliant (I have not been knitting long and made many mistakes, still haven't figured out proper tension and so on) but they are definitely mittens. I'm not saying that's a Mitten Portal in the second pic […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

A pair of navy blue mittens lying on a wooden table, viewed from above.

A pair of navy blue mittens lying side by side on a wooden table, with a mysterious bright reflection on the table between the two, as if they were acting as a portal to something. Which they are. More mittens.
