Waitangi Day was supposed to be a coming together of our Nation to commemorate the signing of our founding document. Slightly hijacked by Mr Seymour.

24 days countdown till I embark on something terrifying & exciting.

Will be going back to University to train as an animator 😬🫠😃

Have no idea what I'll do or what I'll learn - my partner in crime told me to just keep things small & manageable.

No big plans. No big ideas. Just do the thing ✊

Over the weekend in London a protester scaled the Iranian Embassy & replaced the regimes flag with the pre-1979 revolution flag of Iran.

Remember: World leaders, your politicians, are letting this happen. They know that Israel is denying Palestinians access to the means of sustaining life. They know these kids are being murdered in this way and yet they are doing nothing to stop it.

So make more noise. Demand action to protect kids.

It's been a year. I dedicate today's cartoon to my dearest friend Peta Kennedy. She was a staunch supporter of me & my work and know she would have approved this message.

Sending love to her family at this time ❤️‍🩹

Santa's got a huge pile of coal. If anything a lot of MP's should be getting it this year... but I'm not a miracle worker with caricatures 😂 So these two will have to do.

So, today I'm wrapping up People Watching. Massive thanks to everyone who has supported it & all the cool people I've met and drawn. I wrote an article in the Sunday Magazine today talking about the lessons I've learned doing it - and there were so many.

My little corner of the world was troubled of late by the question of how to make satirical comment on Israel’s state-sanctioned, lethal, and orgiastic violence without the risk of invoking antisemitic blood libel. Grateful to Gvir & co for providing a visual metaphor we can all use without fear.
Israeli National Security Minister Ben Gvir and other members of the Otzma Yehudit (Jewish Power) party wore golden noose-shaped pins to a Knesset National Security Committee meeting to discuss a bill to execute Palestinian detainees.

BONKERS!

The Luxon Govt’s rewrite of the RMA laws allows companies to claim financial compensation (from taxpayers) when councils introduce rules to limit pollution or protect the environment.

Let that sink in.

“If it’s okay for our ministers to speak like that, saying that our academics suffer from ‘derangement syndrome’, it makes it okay for the general public to say that.”
35,000 signatures land at Parliament calling for end of ‘disinformation’
Two former politicians have arrived at Parliament with near-matching petitions urging the Prime Minister to crack down on what they call “disinformation” from his deputies.

My friend died today. Her alcoholism finally got her. She was my idol as a child.

I'm 19 years clean & sober - everyday I know I'm the lucky one. I made it out alive.

Too many don't.

She will be forever loved.
