I'm obliged for the nod.
The "Penrose Effect" seems to be a real thing - hypothesised in the 1930s and re-tested in the last decade or so:
Where you reduce your inpatient psychiatric provision, you'll see a correlated rise within 10yrs in prisons of seriously mentally ill prisoners.

Tees Valley mayor Lord (Ben) Houchen promised renewal. Instead, Britain’s biggest regeneration project has turned into a taxpayer-funded scandal - enriching a few local businessmen while leaving public bodies on the brink.

I know Gordon Findlay, the High Ranking Executive Officer at Novo Nordisk passing out is the story, and that everyone sees Bobby hightailing it out of there, but for Trump this is a Veep-level episode storyboard of reaction.

Presumably Klunk was too busy to collaborate, as he was tied up with pigeon related projects.
The voice of Dick Dastardly, Paul Winchell patented an early version of an artificial heart, along with Henry Heimlich of manouevre fame.

*Am I the only option for Britain?*

My most popular cartoon by a long chalk is also oddly niche, in that it mostly appeals to a generation who remember the song it refers to and enjoy the nostalgia for their youth. I can draw one for you if you like.
