These days, the dots just connect themselves.

Pleased to have a couple of cartoons on the European Cartoon Award 2026 longlist.

An old one from the @cartoonmovement.com. Probably never stopped being relevant, but seems more so today.

Is America part of the Axis of Evil now, or just a high-profile sponsor?

Today's visit to #RejectionIsland rather smarts, as it's a cartoon that wasn't used but ended up being somewhat prophetic.

One of mine from the previous Private Eye. New issue out today.

"The US will help Russia". Perhaps Dr Donald will send some bleach?

At last, an explanation that makes sense.

Odd one today. Rainbow upside down and in the wrong place (unless it was in the right place but the planet was upside down, or something).

I nearly didn't post this one from Private Eye. Then thought 'Go on. @justrena.bsky.social would have loved it'. I hope so.

"Well, we’ve shown our prospective couple four strategic priorities that tick almost all of their boxes, but there's still time to time to view the Mystery House and challenge our buyers' expectations by blundering drunk into the Middle East."

Midterm pleading. One of mine over at the @cartoonmovement.com

If you change your mind
I'm the first in line
Honey I'm still free
Take a chance on me
If you need me, let me know
And I'll be around
If you got no place to go
When you're feeling down
If you're all alone
When the pretty birds had flown
Honey I'm still free
Take a chance on me
Gonna do my very best
To there ain't no lie
If you put me to the test
You could let me try
Take a chance on my
(come on, give me a brake, would you?)
Take a chance on me
Oooh! we can go dancing,
We can go walking,
As long as we are together
Listen to some music
Or maybe just talking
Get to know you better
'Cause you know I've got
So much that I wanna do
When I dream I'm alone with you
It's magic
You wanted to leave me there
Afraid of a love afair
But if you know...
But I can let go
If you change your mind
I'm the first in line
Honey I'm still free
Take a chance on me
If you need me, let me know
And i'll be around
If you got no place to go
When you're feeling down
(take a chance, take a chance, take a chance on me)
If you're all alone
When the pretty birds had flown
Honey I'm still free
Take a chance on me
Gonna do my very best
To there ain't no lie
If you put me to the test
You could let me try
Take a chance on me
(it's alright, alright honey)
Take a chance on me
Oooh! you could take your time baby
I'm in no hurry
I know I'm gonna get you
You don't wanna hurt me
Baby don't worry
I ain't gonna let you
Let me tell you now
My love is strong enough
To last when things are rough this magic
You said that I waste my time
But I can't get you out of my mind
No I can't let go...
Cause I love you so...

Nothing signifies 'triumph' like snipers pointed at your own citizens.

Go for the mobile oppression arch.

It's a new Private Eye week. For those missing the summer, here's one of mine from the previous (bumper holiday) edition.

When she is lonely, and the longing gets too much
She sends a cable coming in from above
Don't need no phone at all

We've got a thing, and that's a-called radar love
We've got a wave in the air
Radar love
