Daylight Saving Explained:
So we’ve got a big 6-panel comic here! Let’s dig in. The comic is titled ‘How to Tell if You Lost or Gained an Hour’ In the first drawing, we have the words “This is the Hour Hand” and below it is an anthropomorphic hour hand waving and saying ‘sup losers’ Next panel says “If the clocks go forward, it eats up that hour” and now our Hour character is chasing after an hour-sized wedge of a clock, screaming ‘Come Here!” while the hour goes, “AHH!” Next panel goes “But if clocks go back, it also eats that hour…” and now the hour hand is eating another house screaming ‘AAH HA HA’ while that hour runs away saying ‘Not again!’ Next panel points out that ‘In short, the hour hand is a real dick’ and theres a drawing of the hour hand smoking a cig, giving the finger and saying ‘Fuck You’ - Panel five continues the narration with “...and nobody knows what happened to the hour” and below this, there’s a policeman with a sniffer dog looking for a shallow grave in the woods. Our last panel begins “...But someone will try and explain it to you…” Below this we have one of those annoying people saying “So in Spring, the clocks spring…” but their words mean nothing because they’re talking to a grieving anthropomorphic clock, who’s missing that hour, shown by a missing wedge in their face and they’re saying “That will not bring my baby back!” Anyway, I’m really sorry if you were actually hoping to find out if we gained or lost an hour here.

Today’s Comic: The Inevitability of Enshittification…
So we’ve got a little stick-figure cartoon here and there’s two people sitting at a table enjoying a beer, while two other people approach them, one of them looking pretty threatening and cracking his knuckles. The guy he’s with starts talking to the people at the table “Real nice place you like hanging out in here…” he begins, “would be a real shame if it were to become an unusable, horrible place full of spam and slop…” This threat is immediately confusing to the people at the table, one of whom replies “Wait what? Isn’t this YOUR place?”

Mondrian would have loved a bento box.
A little cartoon drawing of Piet Mondrian about to enjoy a Bento box. He’s also saying ‘ooooh!’ because obviously he’s a fan.

In other devastating news: G and I missed the local pub quiz last night only to discover that the picture round is MY FAVOURITE GAME. (Which I got to have a crack at retrospectively)

PS: it was Mongolia.
Photo is of the picture round, showing a list of country outlined. I got 19 out of 20, got stumped on one of them, and I know know Mongolia looks like an upside down Switzerland.

Ok folks. I need your help.
I’m on the hunt for new jobs. If that’s you, get in touch! If that’s not you, please do re-post and/or share this and spread the word! Thank you, Thank you, THANK YOU!
The image here is a comic I drew putting myself out there on the hunt for some work! On the left is a slightly disheveled version of me holding a big yellow sign saying “Hey Friends” and then on the right I’ve written the following: “Hey All, I’m currently on the hunt for new work (projects, commissions, adverts, etc) Head on over to Chazhutton.com to see a portfolio and get in touch if you’d like to work together” Then in slightly smaller font I’ve written “oh and I would love if you could share this! Thanks Again!”

Jackson Pollock makes a mistake….
So what we’ve got here is a little cartoon of Jackson Pollock doing one of his drip paintings with the canvas laid out on the floor and surrounded by tins of paint and paintbrushes and art stuff. JP, with cigarette in mouth, is poised over the canvas ready to start, but has dropped his paint tin which is now pouring blue paint onto his canvas in a perfectly square shape.

Today’s Comic.
We’ve got a little stick figure comic here. In the first panel is ostensibly a scene from Hamlet, where Hamlet hold up a skull, proclaiming “Alas! Poor Yorick, I knew him…” - while this is going on a man, possibly Horatio if I’m honest, is talking into an earpiece saying “you guys gettin’ this?” Cut to: Panel 2! Now we’re inside a surveillance van with a detective at a computer showing the scene from before and responding with “Confirmed, Suspect knew the victim” meanwhile another detective stands watching while saying “wait, he’s got the guy’s skull?!” Anyway, I don’t know what happens in the rest of Hamlet but presumably they take him in for questioning.

Every ‘We’re not racist’ person who gets interviewed…
The comic shows someone being interviewed at a protest while wearing a flag as a cape and holding a sign saying ‘Get Out’, their speech bubble reads: Nah mate, we’re not racist, we’re just “prejudiced against or antagonistic towards people on the basis of their membership of a particular racial or ethnic group, typically one that is a minority or marginalized” The quoted part of what they’re saying is written in italics.

Today’s Comic: Theseus sends his ship to the local ship mechanic.
Ok so we’ve got a comic here, and it’s a scene outside the local Athens Ship Repairs shop and we can see a ship having a piece replaced, but inside the shop behind a ‘no entry’ sign you can see a second ship being built with the parts from the first ship. Anyway, in the foreground you have a ship mechanic explaining to Theseus “Mate, yeah looks like we’re gonna have to replace a few parts but don’t worry, it’ll be as ‘good as new’ in no time” And Theseus, in his cool hat is all like “AGAIN?!”

Today’s design study: Multipurpose Anti-fascist Street Furniture:
Ok so, what we’ve got here is a design proposal for a public bench titled “Multipurpose Anti-Fascist Street Furniture” and there’s three images: 1 of 3D drawing of the bench, and then two 2D elevation views of the bench in its different arrangements. The bench is coloured in a kind of reddish orange, and the bench has multiple spikes installed under the seating area, all facing towards the ground, while the back of the seat has a high backed structure. The first 2D drawing shows the bench in a normal seated arrangement, with two people on it reading books. The title under this is “Seating Mode, Good for reading banned books” The next 2D drawing, the bench is positioned on its end, with the high backed structure now becoming a stand for it, where it has now become a barricade, where two protesters are manning it on one side while a militarised riot policeman is attempting to attack it. The large backing design ensures that when positioned on their ends, the tipping point remains on the protester side, so that the defensive structure can not simply be pushed over. Meanwhile, protesters applying weight on the same element stop the barricade from being pulled forward. Holes along the bench surface serve to drain water during wet weather, or while in barricade mode, become a kind of medieval arrow slit. Latches and corresponding holes on each edge of the bench work together to clip multiple benches into place. These same holes and the backing elements also provide hand holds in order to move the benches, which are deliberately heavy for two reasons: 1: As an effective and immovable barricade element, and 2: Any moving and repurposing requires the teamwork of multiple people with a common goal.

Richard Serra Whale
The form of this whale is defining the monumentally large metal curves of a Richard Serra installation. If you’ve ever found yourself inside one of these fuckers like our little man is here, you too would be looking around going ‘wow…’ and that wow would travel around that rusted steel monoliths and jump right back at you; talking back to you with the same awe and wonderment you expressed so briefly before. This is an artist whose work has at one point literally killed someone, and so you’d be wise to escape this artwork if only you could find a way out.

The Daily News…
I’ve drawn a newspaper, and it’s called ‘The Daily News’ and the headline says “ For Fuck’s Sake, What Now?!’ and there’s an article below it with a picture of a guy in a big red tie and shit hair. Actually a pretty good drawing of a newspaper to be honest, really happy with it. Its got an imperceptible beige to it and I even did some nice shadows and everything. Nailed it.

Here’s a little break from reading the horrible news!
Instead, feast your eyes on some truly horrendous things I wish I hadn’t drawn.
The first horrible drawing here is titled ‘Armchair’ and is a drawing of an armchair, except instead of your traditional chair materials like timber and metal, I’ve made this chair out of literal arms, all bent at the elbows and desperately clutching onto each other in a disgusting chair-shaped arm-orgy. My favourite bit is the legs, which are all the hand ends of the arms and are kind of clutching onto the ground. To be honest, it looks pretty stable. This next drawing is titled ‘Finger Food’ and YEAH, it’s just as you feared: It’s food made out of fingers. There’s two dishes on offer here, a kind of pea and finger soup, with the fingers sticking out of the pea soup, which is a particularly nasty shade of green. Next to that we’ve got some finger fries, which, yes, are just fingers sticking out of those cardboard fries packets. It’s all horrible. Does it look tasty though? No, it does not. Next up, ‘Gumboots’ and YEP - it’s actually getting worse! This time we’ve got some boots but instead of being made out of rubber or leather, they’re made out of gums, and the best bit is that the teeth are all attached at the bottom which also makes the tread of the boots. I gotta be honest here… These do actually look amazing and I wish someone would make them, but only if they make a squelchy sound when you walk around in them. I’ve also done some excellent work on highlights on the gums here - they look disgustingly wet. The gum holes where you put your feet are truly horrible, just looking at them makes my insides do weird things. And last one (Thank god for that) is ‘Toothpaste’ but in this horrendous interpretation it’s actually a paste made out of ground-up and broken teeth! The tube it’s all coming out of says “Toothpaste: 100% Real Teeth” - Anyway, I’ve drawn this really well and it kills be that one of my best drawings is also one nobody wants to look at. Anyway, I’m so sorry for all of this.

Would love to know how many lost meadow-goers got stranded on this street to require this very English street sign to be made.

Also love how it originally was ‘nonsuch’ but someone’s thought to linguistically modernise it by scratching out the second N.
A lovely little street name sign for ‘Meadow Lane’ underneath this title in slightly smaller writing reads: LEADING TO NO SUCH MEADOW followed by NO THROỰGH ROAD On closer inspection, it clearly used to read ‘nonsuch’ but someone has rubbed out the second N to bring the language up to a more modern standard.

Intense Whale.
This is a whale inside a tent. That’s right, it’s a very clever play of words. Look at me go. Could also be ‘Camp Whale’ which is arguably funnier. Actually, the seminal essay ‘Notes on Camp’ by Susan Sontag potentially applies quite well to this entire series of drawings. Anyway, more whales to come!

Update. Were worked out it’s a fledgling Wren. There’s now two of them rustling about in the undergrowth. Built them a little bird bath and scattered some seed about. Here’s hoping they go ok. Have obviously named them Christopher and Sophia.
Photo of Christopher Wren inspecting an expertly made wren lido which includes an entry and exit ramp peppered with food we really hope is to their taste. Credit must go to our cat goose for locating the fledglings but not having the bravery or killer instinct to do anything other than stare at them and pretend not to panic.

Ended up at the Leaning Tower of Pisa today and watching all the idiot tourists doing the pushing the tower photo op is so stupid and hilarious. But then… then you just can’t help yourself. You’re here, you probably won’t ever be again, it’d actually be kinda weird if you didn’t do it… So you do.
Picture of the tower with my finger giving it a little poke.

On an underground tour in Orvieto and this room has little apartments for pigeons and I was like “WHOA! Is this why we call that mail deliverance system ‘pigeon holes’ and also, what’s the going rent on these things?”
Ok so we have a subterranean space where there is little pigeon hole’esque holes in the walls, and it’s almost like the name for pigeon holes came from this exact thing but probably not because I can’t see a letter sitting comfortably in these holes carved out of rock. Actually, the rock is super interesting - essentially it’s compacted ash after a volcanic eruption, and as such, surprisingly easy to hack away at and build your own cave which is what the local Etruscan’s did before the fuckin Romans arrived and fucked it all up. Anyway, pigeons!

Don’t mind me, just here in Italy resting on my laurels.
My girlfriend and I were eating at a restaurant and I said to her “what’s this? A bay tree?” And she said, “no, it’s a laurel bush darling” so I got up and did this pose and said “hey, look at me, resting on my laurels” - anyway, it’s a fucking miracle I have a girlfriend that not only puts up with this but is also willing to take a photo of it so I can do the joke again on Bluesky.

Today’s Comic: How to do a LinkedIn Post…
So, here we have a four-panel comic, titled ‘How To Do a LinkedIn Post’ - First panel says ‘Step 1: Take an entirely unremarkable thing… - Then the drawing shows a person looking at a rather large copy of ‘Goldilocks and The Three Bears’ and thinking ‘hmmm’ In the next panel, we have Step 2, which is “Make it all about your specific industry” - here, our person is now furiously writing down the following on their laptop: “...the Moral of the story is the failure of the bear’s UX to efficiently facilitate unintended users…” On to Step 3 and the title here is “...tag absolutely anyone vaguely involved” - Here our person is diligently listing the following “Credit to Robert Southey for his work on this, also to my prep teacher Mrs Sharrad, Also a shout out to any bowl focused ceramicists, The Bear Conservation Fund and the following Oats Brands….” In the last panel, we have Step 4, which advises to “Post! Then bask in the indescribable joy of being ‘popular on LinkedIn’ - here our person is now kicking back, feet on the table, and thinking ‘ooh, what a rush’ A few things: Yes, Robert Southey wrote the three bears, and didn’t actually write it that long ago! Also yes, Mrs Sharrad was my actual prep teacher, (Actually, she was twice because they held me back a year because my stick figures weren’t up to scratch back then)

The ol’ ‘small screen, big screen, both screens’ routine…
So we’re got a four panel comic here with a couple laying on their couch in each image. In the first image the couple has clearly been laying there for a while, both scrolling on their phones, using the fact they both had a long day at work as justification for a bit of mindless scrolling time. In the second image, they’ve come to the realisation that they’ve been watching complete nonsense on reels for way too long so decide to turn the tv on and actually watch something properly. Maybe even a documentary as a sort of antidote to the last hour and a half of scrolling. In the third panel they’re both enjoying watching the tv, their phones now finally cast aside… In the fourth panel however, they’re back to looking at their phones while also convincing themselves they’re still paying attention to whatever David Attenborough is saying on the tv.

The confidence it comes back with is astounding.
One should never paint a flamingo in June meaning • Al Overview The saying "One should never paint a flamingo in June" refers to Frederic Leighton's famous painting "Flaming June". The title "Flaming June" has a playful association with the image of a flamingo, which is why it is used as a sort of "code" in the phrase. The phrase likely originated as a joke within the art world. a Here's why: "Flaming June" by Frederic Leighton: This is a well-known painting, and it is often joked that "one should never paint a…

That said, the Schornsteinfeger in Germany are some of the most amazingly dressed tradespeople going around. Just look at them! So cool.
A quick google image search of “Schornsteinfeger” showing the sweeps wearing their traditional top hats and double breasted jackets with rows of buttons. Really cool.

Cracks me up that the little notice for the chimney sweeps in Berlin looks so much like the Letterkenny Skids are coming to check the chimneys.
A little yellow notice informing residents that the “Schornsteinfeger” are coming to check the chimneys and gas and stuff. There’s a cartoon drawing on them in their traditional attire, which looks wonderfully emo.
