Just when you thought it was all over... An email arrives from British Gas to say that they've completed the work on my smart meter. I sold the house almost 2 years ago. Words fail me.

The Gospel is proclaimed to the socials. By which I mean: MAGA conservatives keep scoffing and saying things like "You mean to say sins can just be wiped away?" or "You mean to tell me Death is swallowed up in victory?" until all Christians have to do is reply with the meme of the guy saying YES.

Someone scoffing at a video of a baptism: "After getting rich from the money she earned as a sex worker for 11 years, this woman believes that entering holy water has cleansed her of all her sins."

Um... YES.

Agnus (2022) by Russian artist Konstantin Korobov -- a peaceful and serene lamb with a halo calmly closing its eyes as seven wolves bite it, but there is no blood. Someone posted this while saying mockingly, "Prey moralists will tell you this was a victory for the lamb."

YES.

Halfway through a lovely week in our favourite place, it's dawned on us that this is the first proper holiday (longer than a weekend break) we've had on our own, no kids or other family, in 34 years! It feels a bit weird, in a good way.

In a carved depression in a pale yellow stone niche sits a small white stone with a green shape painted on it. The shape resembles the shape of the Isle of Wight.
White letters on the green shape read "IT'S ALL WIGHT"

Absolutely. Maxwell was the genius who took Faraday's groundbreaking discoveries about electromagnetism and gave them solid maths to back them up. Amongst loads of other stuff, obvs. Can't believe he's not better known, even in his own country.

"revival" means bringing something back to life, not recreating it in a new format. The premise is the same as it always was. Absurd and unbelievable, but undeniably brilliant. Just do that.

I wouldn't call myself a cartoonist, but I had the vision and just needed it to be on paper to the best of my ability.

A hand drawn eight panel cartoon. First two panels are a colander sitting frowning on a shelf. Then the colander is frowning straining pasta, then three more panels of frowning sitting on a shelf. Then a big panel where it's projecting a bunch of crescent eclipse shapes and smiling with speech bubbles around saying "Wow! Look! Amazing! Beautiful!" And then one final panel where it's sitting on a shelf smiling.
