"His work with the US intelligence agency ended in 1964, and he died shortly after, of a heart attack, in 1967."

Sure he did...

Magazine letter: It seems that shops stock seasonal products earlier and earlier each year. Today I saw a birthday card, but my birthday isn't until October. Utterly ridiculous. Rich B, Kidlington

There's a new issue (Viz 348) in the shops. Sorry no refunds. shop.viz.co.uk
A Viz Top Tip posted with the hope that people who see it will subscribe to the magazine (or at least go out and buy a copy off the huge pile of unsold copies in the supermarket, or whatever they're calling WH Smiths this week): Stop a 'Knock Knock' joke dead in its tracks by answering "come in" instead of "who's there?" Or just stand very still and pretend to be out. Pete Redfern, Canterbury

How is it that Narwhals are real and yet unicorns are mythical? surely it should be the other way round. What possible use can a huge fish have with a horn? It's not like they joust each other or anything, whereas I'm sure a unicorn could do some proper damage given have the chance. I reckon God dropped the ball on that one. Greg Alam, Hanham

if dog years are an actual thing, how come vets charge full price for really old dogs? My mutt is about fifteen, so in dog years he is well and truly a pensioner and be should be getting free prescriptions and what have-you. Not glasses obviously, I'm not stupid. Hector Barnfeather, Hull

We're building fewer henges than at any time on the last 4,000 years. Pathetic.

My cartoon for this weekend’s @theguardian.com books.
A sunny day in the park. People jog, walk their dogs and sit in the shade of the trees. A woman sits on a bench and says: “It's my perfect job, really! Their owners are busy people who love them but don't have time to give the attention they need. Nobody likes to think of them just lying around the house all alone. So I pick them up bright and early and we spend the whole day in the park. I read a few chapters of each and drop them home with a short precis of what happened. Everyone's happy!” She is reading a book and has a pile of six more beside her.

When Switzerland built the Gotthard Pass railway tunnel they excavated enough rock to build 8 Great Pyramids of Giza but they didn't build any Great Pyramids of Giza, the lazy neutral bastards.

My latest @newscientist.com cartoon
A cartoon titled ‘The Life of a Scientist’. (The life is depicted as a set of steps, three up then three down with a character on each) Baby: Such a mysterious world! Child: I must search for answers Young adult: Each answer leads me to more questions Middle age: ... At least I've got lots of questions Old age: Ok, I guess questions are my thing now From grave: Such a mysterious world!

A new museum for Friday Kahlo is a welcome development. May I also suggest looking at the work of Leonora Carrington? Although she was born in England, she spent the majority of her life in Mexico, and was an excellent Surrealist artist.

A summery cartoon for @newscientist.com
Caption: “The work was hard and the hours were long, so on sunny days, the professor allowed the team to leave the lab and research their viruses outdoors.” Image: Scientists in yellow hazmat suits work with chemicals, glassware and machinery in the dappled shade of some old trees on the university lawn.

WHY do they bother with signs on fire hoses saying that it is not drinking water? The type of person who likes to drink directly from a high pressure fire hose is hardly going to be put off by a little thing like that. James Huggett, Dubai

FLIES, bluebottles, REMOV OF G AFTER bees and wasps all 500mle seem to have the uncanny ability to find their way into my house through the tiniest of spaces when a window or door is slightly ajar. However, once inside they lose all sense of direction and co-ordination, continually smashing their heads against every flat surface in a futile, random, trial-and-error bid to escape, even when the doors and windows are pulled wide open. Perhaps Sir David Attenborough would care to explain that. T O'Neill, Glasgow

A single-frame cartoon. Two semi-detatched houses with a fence between the two gardens. In the garden closest to us, an unshaven man in a vest is standing on the step, hands on hips, evidently having just answered the door. On his lawn, an array of elegant Edwardian types are dancing to a string quartet. A fancy valet with a tray of glasses is in attendance. A similarly dressed (bow tie, tails, white gloves) man is leaning across the fence, addressing the unshaven, vested homeowner. His speech balloon reads: "Hey mister - Can we have our ball back?"
