My full page comic for the @prospectmagazine.co.uk Christmas issue. With sincere apologies.
![This is a comic pate drawn in the soft pencil style of The Snowman by Raymond Briggs
Basically the story is this:
- Keir Starmer in dressing gown presses face up to window, excited that it is snowing
- He runs outside, builds a snowman
- It comes to life, taps on his window
- He invites it in, gives it clothes (yellow trouser, green jacket, flat cap) and we realise (face close up) it looks like Nigel Farage
- Snowman takes him outside, launches off the ground
- They fly over the landscape, we see a town below
- A man ziptying a St George’s Flag to a lamp post waves at them as they pass
- As in the original, they head for the sea - we see a light by the coast
- Instead of Brighton pier as in the original, it is an Asylum Detention Center
- They land, we see people queuing behind a fence
- Snowman Farage points excitedly at a large bin marked VALUABLES
- Snowman Farage pulls a child's E-scooter out of the bin, he and Starmer look excited
- They take off again and go back to Keir’s home
- Farage resumes his place in the garden, Starmer walks back inside to go back to bed
- The next day Snowman Farage has melted, leaving only his clothes and the scooter - now with a bow and label attached to show it is a Christmas gift.

'Seven Brussels Sprouts.' (1955)
Delicately painted with meticulous detail, Eliot Hodgkin captures the crisp waxy green beauty of a vegetable that in the year this work was painted was very often boiled to oblivion.

The Russian attack on Kyiv’s government buildings shows again that the continued delaying a strong reaction against Putin and the attempts to appease him makes no sense. The US and Europe must together force Russia to accept an immediate ceasefire. We have all the instruments.

The Abu Fayed family counts on WCK meals after being displaced from their home in northern Gaza. After sheltering in Rafah, they now live in a tent on the coast of Mawasi and depend on Damian's Kitchen—our large-scale kitchen in the area—for food. #ChefsForGaza

Passers by in Kyiv may have noticed an unusual funeral for a fallen soldier yesterday. The mourners were a bohemian crowd, and anarchist flags were flown. Davyd Chychkan, a 39 year old artist was laid to rest. Why was he at war? He’d explained his reasons to me 18 months ago

Yoshita 1967 seems cool. The line is inspired by the designer's Indo-Kenyan heritage. Appears to involve a lot of handwork, such as crocheting and beadwork.
