Rishi Sunak Election Announcement Rain Wet Suit 10 Downing Street

I have never in all my days seen a spectacle like Rishi Sunak’s election announcement yesterday, and I’m old enough to have seen Neil Kinnock and his wife falling in the sea. It was nothing short of a work of art.

Friday Cartoon – Women Make Better Doctors (Bearside Manner)

by
Single-panel cartoon - woman in hospital bed reading newspaper with headline FEMALE PATIENTS SAFER WITH FEMALE DOCTORS. A bear in a white coat is examining her chart. She looks up and says ‘oh thank god’.

Yes yes I had to get the bear/woman/man/forest meme in but I was listening to the Naked Scientists and they featured a piece on how women are statistically better off in life expectancy if they’ve been seen by a female doctor in hospital. Then I found a piece on how women make better surgeons than men. And with the bear discourse I just had to bring it all together.

Happy Valentine’s Day/Ash Wednesday 2024!

by
Single panel cartoon featuring an elderly man and woman outside a church. Each of them has a heart shape in thick black line on their foreheads. The man is pulling back his hat to reveal his, and he is speaking. His caption says "I think Valentines and Ash Wednesday falling on the same day confused Father Michael."

An early Friday Cartoon this week (or a bonus one if I get another one done on Thursday!) Happy Valentine’s Day to those who celebrate!
