My cartoon for this week’s @newscientist.com

A comic strip in six panels. The panels inerlock like a jigsaw with knobs and sockets. Two stick figures walk right to left through all the panels.

Panel 1: Person 1 says "I hear you're working on a new theory."
Panel 2 & 3: Person 2 says: "Yes, I'm calling it the jigsaw model. I think it could change our whole View of reality."
Panel 4: Person 1 says "When Will you publish?:
Panel 5: Person 2 says "But a couple of things are still bothering me." (this piece/panel is a bit squint)
Panel 6: This piece is rotated ninety degees and fits to the others very badly. Person 2 is saying "Soon. I feel like I'm really close"
A second look at the whole comic shows that the last two panels read in the wrong order because the jigsaw has been put together incorrectly.

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

They're spinning this as a marketing fail but I think the real story is just that people are stupid as fucking rocks now fortune.com/2025/10/10/p...

Lay's drastically rebrands after disturbing finding: 42% of consumers didn't know their chips were made out of potatoes | Fortune

New bags—matte-ified and designed to look like wood planks (like a potato crate)—will hold the chips with revamped ingredient lists.

The best takeaway from my day at NYCC - Wrestle Heist by @thekylestarks.bsky.social is going to be superb! So glad that I got my hands on the ashcan and cannot wait until the official release.

👏👏👏 The comics industry can be a shitty place sometimes, but it doesn’t help to put good writers in the line of fire for something a publisher did. Hope that you get more respect from your next publisher - you deserved far better.

Have a blast!

By others, not by you. A direct post by you clarifying the situation would be much more likely to find the eyes of the folks who got the wrong impression of your initial take; they’re not likely to sift through the comments to find it.

OK, but I think you’re smart enough to know how your post would be interpreted by your followers and you certainly did nothing to dissuade that take. You were treated unconscionably but you’re better than this.

What disingenuous horse-crap. She’s just as guilty as DC for omitting the four females from the photo, and these men couldn’t be more different - I can’t believe that she’s ignorant enough to think that they are. Manufactured outrage for her followers.

No shade to any of the Vertigo relaunch writers, but this is what the lineup looks like with me no longer in it, lol.

Fuck off Kate. You have a nanny for grown children, cleaners, don't have a job, assistant, personal hairdressers, and are loaded.

You know what does damage family life more? Poverty. Put your literal money where your mouth is then I may take you seriously.

Kate warns too much screen time damages family life.
