Jiggery Pokery

The Great Hong Kong Swindle. Here are the threatened Squiggles with a home truth or two, poor darlings. Actually, it is 1,500.000 citizens. But really it doesn’t matter.

Slippery Slope

Mazed Snakes. I wanted to do something quite different. Perhaps a nice, nasty & incisive, finely tuned ad hominem attack .“plenty to choose, as usual. But this came out instead.

Next it’ll be bleach, I daresay. Tony Blair urging the herd to give up more (and more?) of their progressively dwindling civil liberties for a Continue Reading

For They Shall Inherit The Earth

 Armoured Bugs. Meet the next heirs to planet Earth. I’m sure they’ll make a splendid job. Better than we did, in fact, I daresay. Coming soon: ClownWatch 33. The Perfect Solution 2.0 And to keep you in giggles: https://www.rt.com/business/485757-us-dollar-toilet-paper/

Waves & Tides
