Cartoon from 2004, done mostly to give the office thesaurus an airing. Hearing later that he'd had a rough time, I was slightly worried that accusing him of owning a cattery which was merely a hollow facade might have been a bit unkind, but it turned out that he liked it, so I sent him the artwork.

JK Rowling is now claiming that the Nazis didn’t burn books on trans healthcare.

In fact the Institut für Sexualwissenschaft (Institute for Sexology) was active in Berlin for 14 years until it, along with its libraries, were destroyed by the Nazis in 1933.
