Very quick comic to thank you all for supporting my charity efforts this year, and in typical ZT fashion some thoughts to go along with it. There’s so much more to say but this’ll do for now :) thank you everyone

It’s Second Sunday of the month. Shortly, just off Trafalgar Square, I’ll be running Captain Dan’s laundry for homeless and/or destitute asylum seekers, refugees, and migrants. I’ll probably annoy all the right people

Here's the art for the PAKLIS #8 and #9 covers.
These are the last two full comics I've had published. They both have made me, to date, negative money.
I thought I'd share some of the art with you in a thread.

Leaves on your lawn? Good. Leaf them alone. 🍂
Leave the Leaves!
One of the most valuable ways to support pollinators and other invertebrates is to provide them with the shelter they need to survive the winter. Thankfully, all you need to do is do less yard work.

Just a friendly reminder as we go into the holidays:
Folks don't have to explain to you why they don't drink.
If you offer them a drink and they decline, don't ask them why. It's not your business.
Just offer them something without alcohol to drink instead. And move on.

The milkshake machine’s not working.

The only flavours we can do are vanilla, banana, and Labour Leader Pretending to be Nigel Farage.

Is that a new flavour?
EMPLOYEE:
Yeah

This a big deal: "China’s carbon dioxide emissions have been flat or falling for 18 months"
China's economy has grown by ~5% in the last year, so this comprehensively debunks the idea (again) that emissions are tied to growth. So yes, faster progress needed, but this is how you turn the corner.
