Back in 2011, the animation department at Disney wanted to put out an anthology of comics, like the story department’s Torch Tiger and Rocket Johnson. To make a long story short … it kind of fell apart. Well, completely fell apart. I was one of the few who actually got my comic finished, and I sat on it for a while hoping things would get sorted out, but the ashes are cold now, so here it is.
The original anthology was intended to have a little flipbook in the outside corners, so if you’re wondering why the text or composition is a little off, that is why.

Now THAT'S an endorsement!
Mucus Buster
Everyone's got lingering congestion this year, so as someone who's no stranger to phlegm, and inherited the folk wisdom of a stage actress (the show must go on!) I share with you my recipe for making things better:
2L water
the juice and rind of one lemon (just dump the juiced rinds in, don't zest them, you maniac)
a small thumb of fresh ginger, sliced in coins
about a dozen cloves, some star anise, peppercorns, and maybe whole cinnamon or allspice or whatever else you like, in a tea ball (except the cinnamon if it doesn't fit, obvs)
good dollop of honey, to taste
Bring the water to a boil then dump in all the stuff. Keep it hot but not boiling – a slow cooker is good for this. Keep this pot on a low heat all day and serve yourself a mug every so often, adding water as necessary. At some point you will need to add a new lemon and some more honey, but the spices can generally carry over two pots if you're drinking it regularly.
The acid helps clear the gunk, ginger is good for the circulation, and clove/aniseed/pepper have some sort of decongestant/soothing properties. Honey is both nice and antiseptic, and apparently is a cough suppressant as well? Anyway, I just got over another run of Covid and this was wasn't 100% effective but it worked better than phenylephrine.

World Radio Day is 13 February, so to stand up for the wealth of quality audio drama on the BBC, which is continuing to cut its drama department, I'm reposting drawings that have been inspired by BBC radio productions ... or in this case, incorporating a bit of one.
I'm a fan of BBC radio drama, but nothing at all can compare to the effect Radio 4's 2008 adaptation of The Worst Journey in the World had on me. It's my life now.

Words cannot rise to describing how satisfying this was to make.

The Museum of Classical Archaeology had a Drink and Draw night where we had a small glass of cheap wine and went around sketching their plaster casts of ancient statues. You know, like proper art students used to do.
There were bums.

The nice thing about sketching punters is that absolutely none of them are looking at their phones.

Radio 4 Extra is rerunning the excellent radio play of The Idiot, so I finally took the time to do this title up right (by which I mean, of course, deeply inappropriately).  It so amused me, when I was working at Disney, and people would call anything mildly unpleasant “dark” – no no, this is dark.
I don’t usually like 19th Century drawing-room dramas, as they seem so petty, but Dostoevsky sees right through it and calls them out on their pettiness and I respect him for that.  Yes, it’s dark.  Humanity is dark.  If you haven’t had to come to grips with that yourself, well, bless your heart.
Oh, also, Roger Allam is in it.

The better part of the last three days has been spent listening (and relistening) to A Place of Greater Safety.  At first I wasn’t keen on the embedded double-narrator conceit, but once I learned to tell the male one from all the other men, they’ve grown on me a lot.  Give it a listen, see what you think!  Episode 1 throws a lot at you but it’s all worth it for Episode 3 … just get to Episode 3.

Pre-pandemic, Cambridge was blessed with the occasional street concert by The Trials of Cato. It was fab. These are sketches of the band (as it was then) and people passing by.
