Original comics by JP

I'll post Wriggle Room drafts (and occasionally non-Wriggle Room cartoons) here from time to time, but eventually I intend to settle on a design and redo the cartoons in a consistent style

All images posted are OC unless stated (or obvious)

Feedback very welcome!

The YouTube algorithm has finally caught up on my interests...

Lots of interest here but didn't realise how diverse worms are - 66,000 known species in 12 phyla (5 steps of hierarchy above species)

NB, when MR says he's being strangled (0:28), that's a snake, not a giant worm

The Beard

h/t @michaelrosenyes.bsky.social and @keithbeard.bsky.social
1/2

Wriggle Room cartoon strip, two worms discuss whether beards give the wearers an advantage. Another worm (already with a human-style toupee) overhears them and goes and applies a false beard, and challenges the other worms to a race. One of the challenged worms suggests that maybe beard-wearing affords an advantage by making competitors nonplussed.

Equally problematic is when work gets ALTERED and shared, but WITH the original attribution... But yeah, that's the nature of quick-share culture. Social media is not exactly set up to honor & benefit indie creators. Thanks for seeking the sources!

Yes, there's so much copying and pasting without accreditation on the web. I always try and find the source when something tickles me and I want to share, but often all I can find is a long list of uncredited copy and pastes.

Ah yes - I didn't see that, I did a reverse image search to find the info to credit you!

I think this was it - I had to search, it wasn't someone I follow, it was just sent my way by our algorithm overlords

Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn.bsky.social · Sep 1

Labour could have made the case for a humane immigration system that treats refugees with dignity and respect.

Instead, they have fanned the flames of racism and emboldened the far-right.

My piece for @tribunemagazine
www.tribunemag.co.uk/2025/09/labour-is-paving-the-path-to-fascism

Labour Is Paving the Path to Fascism

As Labour embraces anti-migrant rhetoric, Jeremy Corbyn argues that the government is demonising vulnerable people to distract from its domestic failures.

Today's #SocialistSunday quote is from Jerry Garcia

Looking forward to have #YourParty to vote for positive change

"Constantly choosing the lesser of two evils is still choosing evil"
