A caricature of ... erm ... me. I look a bit rough because my brain is impaled on the end of a pencil that's been forced through my skull via the earholes. It's probably metaphorical or something.

Over a week late to wish the wonderful Dolly Parton a very happy 80th birthday. A great singer, songwriter, musician, and magnificent human being. My humble caricature, exaggerated hair height (not much, to be fair) and poor pun on is all I can offer. A belated Happy Birthday, Queen!!

Musk's childish AI tools, as well as the lack of proper policing and regulation, have turned X into a hideous pit of misogyny, which appears to be exactly what the aspiring pornographer and fascist fanboy wants.

A caricature I scrawled of Robert Jenrick a number of years ago, before Ozempic shrivelled his ample gerbil jowls to a gaunt Goebbels-like fizzog. A man who would paint over a mural of cartoon characters for children.

What a monstrous bunch of venal shits. Trump and his Band of Bastards are making the world a hellhole of a slurry pit.
Coloured pencil and marker pen on A4 paper.

Quick bit of Sunday satire. What's happening in Palestine is pure gangsterism. Peace deal? Another opportunity for the greedy to disenfranchise the poor and to further a criminal, colonial enterprise.

Donald Trump's rambling rant at the UN really was something, wasn't it? Deranged babblings of the worrying kind ... wild conspiracy theories about escalators and teleprompters, among other things. According to Trump, the "greatest con job ever perpetrated in the world" is not Trump's own presidency.

A new cartoon (with apologies to Robert Crumb), dabbling with ink and marker pen. It's all good and well Starmer recognising Palestine as a state, but maybe not assisting, funding and arming Israel should be the next step, eh?

🔴The British News Organisations 'Obeying in Advance' to Donald Trump

The coverage of this week's Trump state visit is a worrying sign of what will happen if a Trump-like figure is ever elected on this side of the Atlantic

My new cartoon is on the dark side of the humour spectrum. You've been in this situation where your mind is screaming as you listen to someone drone drivel, oblivious to your boredom, incredulity and/or astonished sense of offence and insult. Pen on A4 paper.

A report by the United Nations has concluded Israel is committing genocide in Gaza

Israels response?

The authors of the report are Hamas and are antisemitic

Louise Regan: "More journalists have been killed in Gaza in 22mths than in WW1, WW2, the Korean War & the Vietnam War combined. Their crime? Bearing witness to what is happening every day & sharing it with the world. Shame on those who have remained silent throughout this genocide"

Peter Mandelson is an odious individual, possibly made in a petri dish in which the toenail clippings of Dr Crippen, slug pulp, celery juice and the used toilet paper of H.P. Hovercraft have been left to grow mould. And he says there will be more embarrassing revelations in the Epstein files.

Jon Yates claims that after chants of death to the IDF at Glastonbury Jewish kids in the UK are more worried they'll face violence. Ava Santina explains conflating the IDF with Judaism is wrong

You know who will face violence today? Palestinian kids who'll be murdered by the IDF
