People keep misunderstanding how the Bank Robbing Robot works. If you have one, it will still give all the money it steals to me.

Happy 100th birthday Sir David Attenborough! When I drew this cartoon, I put a lot of thought into which animal would have which job, but not a lot of thought into the design of this room. I'm sure Sir David has a much nicer bedroom in real life.

I haven’t done this cartoon, nor do my cartoons look like this (it looks like generic soulless shit, for what it’s worth). I assume it stole my name from the internet along with a mishmash of other cartoonist’s styles. The rage this makes me feel cannot be overstated. Thanks for letting me know.
