I nearly didn't post this one from Private Eye. Then thought 'Go on. @justrena.bsky.social would have loved it'. I hope so.

It's a new Private Eye week. For those missing the summer, here's one of mine from the previous (bumper holiday) edition.

Don't need no phone at all

We've got a thing, and that's a-called radar love
We've got a wave in the air

Sporadic visits to #RejectionIsland at the moment thanks to the holidays, but we're there today - dressed up in Generated Low Output Voltage Emitters and rescuing a cartoon that didn' get used.

Pleased to have a couple of cartoons in the Private Eye summer special. Here's one of mine from the previous edition.

Profound experiences these eclipses. A couple of hours staring directly at the sun yesterday through a colander helmet has changed my view of the world.

Almost #eclipse time. Deploy your safety measures.

One of the children's workshops this weekend involved creating fantastic amalgamated animals. To give them a steer, we provided some examples. Of the ones I sent, this was my favourite.

Herne Baying again. Another great weekend by the sea with @procartoonists.bsky.social and #BeachCreative. Big boards and general silliness.

What are you up to this weekend? Why, you're going to Kent of course - for exhibitions, workshops and real, live cartoonists gambolling loose on the streets.

Ah, well. At least we'll get a play out of it.

I've not had a cartoon work equally well across twitter, bluesky, LinkedIn and Instagram before. Nice that, even in this divided world, people from right and left, professional and casual can all enjoy old Don getting hoofed in the pods by Tintin. Heartwarming.

That doesn’t really describe the scene, but I'm not convinced anyone actually reads these.

In more positive chicken news, the flock is replenished. 6 new additions. The one with the haircut has been named Ellie Kildunne. Teresa 'La Aguja' Moreno and Eddie the Eagle are names under consideration. Suggestions welcome.

It may look innocuous, but that's shedding blood for the cause at the sports day parents' tug-of-war and has been noted as such by the children. Filial respect incoming.
