Cartoon by Heath Robinson
W Heath Robinson, as well as being a designer and inventor, was also a brilliant cartoonist. #HeathRobinson
For wacky inventions, of course you can't beat W Heath Robinson. In 1921 he showed the readers of The Strand Magazine how to build a home-made car. (But I had to remove one stage because BlueSky wouldn't let me upload more than four pictures. *sigh*)

A rusty old cattle waterer has been screwed to a fence with an assortment of old brackets and screws, there is a metal silhouette of a Robin attached above it, the waterer is filled with water so as to form a bird bath
Made a bird bath, it’s a bit heath-robinson but I like to make stuff out of whatever I’ve got lying around in the shed!

When looking for whacky inventions, one need look no further than W Heath Robinson (an inspiration for Wallace & Gromit, of course). These 'Labour Saving Devices' were printed in the December 1919 edition of The Strand.

Picture showing a window covered with insulation sheet (basically silver bubble wrap). I used a tool to put eyelets in the material and suction cups to stick it to the window... it works inside but works much better attached to the outside.... It's cheap and cheerful but it does what it was made for
A little experiment to help keep the house cool... we can't fit external blinds / shutters / shades and don't have or want aircon... it works 😀
Outside it's currently 32C, inside it's a very pleasant 22.5C... more in Alt Text

Men in evening dress and women in the fashions of the 1920s dance with invisible dancers, chat with apparently empty chairs and a waiter proffers a drink to another 'empty' chair.

I went to the fabulous @steadmanart.bsky.social INKling exhibition at the #heathrobinsonmuseum last week where you were invited to do a doodle on the back of a postcard. Here's my crocodoodle using Ralph's splattered 'dirty water' starting technique. #heathrobinson

I with the morning’s love have oft made sport., from Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Nights Dream by W. Heath Robinson (1914) #heathrobinson
Honestly, until this book, I had no idea that in the UK a Rube Goldberg Machine is called a Heath Robinson Contraption. William Heath Robinson (1872-1944) was an English cartoonist, illustrator, and artist, who is best known for his cartoons of whimsically elaborate machines.. #heathrobinson

It was obvious how haphazard this government was going to be, when the first thing he did, on winning the election, Johnson went on holiday! Showing where his priorities lie @LBC
