This comic by @streakofpith.bsky.social is small but deep with meaning, like a short, dense poem. For any patent it will touch you deep down to your core. I've read and reread this numerous times now and cannot get it out of my head.
Wonderful stuff.

Really interesting report on an artist I was totally unaware of. This celebration of these little known British artists is most welcome. Quite often overshadowed by their European and US counterparts, we need to become more aware of them and their legacy.
George Fyffe Christie, aka G.F. Christie, isn’t going to be a comic creator many will have heard of, despite his long career in creating humorous cartoons for over fifty years.
