New Viz in the shops today. And there's "shy bladder" shenanigans with former president of France General Charles de Gaulle, in 'De Gaulle Bladder"

Panel from a comic strip in which General Charles de Gaulle (1890-1970) is desperate for a wee but can't go when people are watching. De Gaulle may or may not have suffered from this - probably not - but he's dead anyway, so he's not going to sue.

I also need to know: I am fairly middle-of-the-road on Taylor Swift but someone I know called her the Greatest Living Lyricist. She is not.

Who is yours? Either the greatest or your favorite?

I think I drew it as a result of reading a collection of Bateman cartoons. He was so good.

This looks like the denouement of a bedroom farce.

The new issue of Viz is on sale today, and there's a serving of intergalactic adventure with Bacon, Clegg and Beans

A rocket-powered catering van hurtling through space, piloted by 16th Century philosopher Sir Francis Bacon, former prime ministerial novelty sidekick and social media turd-polisher Nick Clegg, actor Sean Bean who was in an old episode of Morse I watched the other night, and Mr Bean.

I don't know whether it's true, but that is the theory which I have, it is mine and it belongs to me. I call it "Elk's Law."

Also, I suspect that the people who are massively preoccupied with the suspicion that their jokes are going to get stolen are probably not going to write particularly funny jokes

I would buy a commemorative plate with a portrait of the first flag-baby born of that marriage. Provided it wasn't too Cronenberg.
