I've been seeing these on r/comics and assumed he was her secret alien friend or something, I never realised he was a sex toy.

Thanks for the, uh, enlightenment

I love this guy's stuff so much. Especially with some of his longer comics you think you know where he's going and he's just on a complete tangent!

I remember having to change things I got from... places... from epub to mobi using calibre for my old school kindle to recognise it years ago. I don't even have that device anymore.

Glad they're accepting what appears to be the standard format tbh.

Easily my favourite section is the bit about journalism itself. Very eye opening (no pun intended)

There was a clip from Ian Hislop and 2 others from the Eye attending a select committee or something advising politicians about how they could handle disclosing gifts better, and there's a funny/excruciating bit where one of the Eye journalists responds to an argument saying "they're beneficial to the constituancy" by reading out to the politician what 'gifts' he has claimed: "football tickets... Opera... Stay in a hotel..." until the chairman or whatever intervenes. Private Eye don't fuck about.

Was my exact reaction when I read this this morning before moving on.

She's just jealous Glinner's got a book out and she thinks she needs to raise her TERF game.

I think a very specifically American joke but funny now I've read the explanation!

I've not watched them in chronological order... Of any sort in fact. I feel like I might try this though there's been so many blogs and books that have done this I could probably read them and pretend I did 😛

It's not established fact - nothing is. We could be watching edited highlights from the Matrix where The Doctor is deliberately making himself look good when in fact he's a complete tool. Assuming that isn't the case, I think it's fair to assume what we see on screen is chronological from The Doctor's point of view - the whole River Song thing would seem to confirm this for the new series at least. In 'Web of Fear' they mention seeing the younger Jack Travers from 'Abominable Snowmen' a few weeks ago for instance, one of several times characters refer back to previous events...

He sounds pleasant...

From a British perspective I know there was always a huge political obsession with maintaining the 'Special Relationship' with the US up until Trump came in and Brexit happened basically simultaneously making us more irrelevant.

It's still there in a half hearted transactional way when it comes to intelligence sharing, day to day stuff etc. But in terms of the PM sucking up to the President photo opportunities to get some media attention - that aspect seems to have died pretty quickly.

It strikes me there are a lot of similarities with our politics right now though - lack of faith from the voters, rampant cronyism, lawbreaking heads of state FFS, culture war obsessions dominating the discourse when the average person is more worried about affording their rent/mortgage at the end of the month. I'd say our government is dysfunctional on the same level but the difference is we stopped being a superpower way back when.

I'm rambling way off topic, sorry. Reading that just reminded me of when our politicians used to be all over the American ones as being the glamorous ones to suck up to (whether the public agreed or not) but things have definitely changed.

No way. For a start you have to have some idea of where you're going.

Also you have to be in charge of a vehicle that doesn't run people over. Though I guess that technically depends on how many shifts you want to do

The picture is not flattering either, she looks haggard and confused. And what's going on with her hand? Begging for a private eye bubble

I mean I always found his cartoons annoyingly unfunny but I don't think there's anti-Semitism in this one. The general state of newspaper political cartoons actually being funny is pretty pathetic, they're still about as good as The Day Today's physical cartoonist Brandt.

But back on topic I it certainly looks like there's no grounds for anti-Semitism for this one.
