Thank you for this. If you wouldn’t mind could you share the Church Times posting of it (below)? I do want to post it myself but just not had time to do it. Thank you. bsky.app/profile/chur...
I would trim it down to size, caveatted heavily with 'I really don't know what I'm talking about'. But it certainly is a fine plant.
Thank you Andrew
A tumble dryer in a cargo bike
A cartoon by Dave Walker of a washing machine being transported by bike
So I bought a second hand tumble dryer.
Turns out the box on my bike was almost the perfect size.
If anyone asks, @davewalker.bsky.social made me do it.
Brilliant - thank you!
Ah, yes. Thank you.
Thank you!
Thank you Claire - that’s lovely to hear. May I ask which one?

In some places we’d call this a reel, but not here, I don’t think. It’s my ‘Things that help me’ diagram, zipping past at a speed that doesn’t quite allow you to read it. [For an A4 printable version subscribe (free) to diagramclub.substack.com and I’ll send it.]

This is great news Mark - so pleased you're doing this. Entirely get the squeamishness, but, as I'm sure others have said: no need, not least because it looks like excellent value. Will be signing up.
Thanks Richard!

Book on table with caption ‘cartoons from the Church Times’
It's publication day for The PCC Strikes Back, my latest book, published by @canterburypress.bsky.social. It's collection no 9 of my cartoons from the Church Times. Photos taken at The Cafe, aka Essex Wildlife Trust Langdon, where lots of the cartoons were drawn. A link to buy the book is below.
It is, as they say, the giraffe possibly not in the room.
It wasn’t intended to be, but if it turns out to be accidentally appropriate do let me know.
Chart with ‘not in the room’ and ‘in the room’ at the top, a giraffe and elephant at the side. There’s a X in the ‘elephant in the room’ box. Underneath ‘X= thing that needs to be addressed’
Giraffe / elephant.
Love this, from my friends Jane and @andrewgraystone.bsky.social, who open up their home for asylum seekers to stay.
Thank you

So sorry to hear this.
Thank you Stephen - greatly appreciated.
There’s a lot of dubious arguments on X, thinking those who have left have done so to avoid the audience there rather than for ethical / engagement reasons. Me: still there so people who think differently see my work, which doesn’t happen here / Insta. But case for leaving = v strong, absolutely.
Thank you!
