Patchakuti, my newest rescue cat here showing his belly is black and white but this photo is not. He also has his paws in the air like he just does not care!

Reflections in the Castlefield basin which was lower than I had ever seen it, presumably following the huge breach in the Bridgewater Canal near Dunham Massey.

Forgot I did another comic about the NT thing in @prospectmagazine.co.uk two years ago. I loathe all the culture wars stuff we have to wade through nowadays but I can't say it hasn't given us all something to write about. That's part of the problem of course

Go on a crunchy autumn rant!
Get your wellies on and kick through some leaves
while venting about the wokes
[Show someone red faced, kicking up leaves, shouting “BUT BRITAIN *ABOLISHED* SLAVERYYY”]
3
Make a stick man to argue with
Straw men are for summer, but in the autumn you can glue together sticks, woodland items
and made-up talking points for a fun debate
[A hand holding a little stick man with a pinecone head while the person argues with it: “Actually country houses *aren’t* racist”]
4
Forage for nuts in the NT Council Candidates statements!
See if you can identify the nutty right-wingers in the NT Council Candidates’ election statements
[Show a parent and child looking through NT website - child says
“I’ve spotted a mention of ‘woke forces’!”]
5
Make a woodland shelter to protect commonsense conservatives from all the wokeness
[Show a big box constructed on a tree trunk with a person hiding inside it. A child whispers to them from nearby:
“You are safe now”]
6
Build a cosy bonfire by gathering copies of the Interim Report on Colonialism and Slavery
[Show a bonfire scene, a person sitting next to it]
I mean it was AGES ago
7
Spot Some Candidates in the Mist
Every autumn anti-woke campaigners come out of hiding to try and take over the gaff. How many can you spot?
[Show people stalking round the NT property grounds like deer]
8
Join us for Spooky Storytime!
Throughout October our more right-leaning members will be telling scary tales of woke ghouls and demons
[Show an NT volunteer in a dark candle-lit hut, saying to children “They’re coming to kill our history…”]
