Sketch by Gary Larson, The prehistory of the Far Side: a 10th anniversary exhibit (Kansas City, Missouri: Andrews and McMeel, 1989), p. 110. ("Look guys... I just can't handle these changes... I'm not sure if it's the rhythm, or the tempo, or if it's just that I'm a cow.")

Time for a break, reader. Thanks for reading, and if you ever commented, double-thanks for that. Toodle-oo.

May as well laugh...

Cartoon by Bill Leak: As a city lies in smoking ruins behind him, an emaciated man knocks on the door of a bunker. A voice inside says, 'Piss off Peter... We don't have room for a guy your size in here...' and Peter replies, 'But fellas! I've really lost a lot of weight!'

Councillors heard that Peter Mickleburgh, district councillor for the Mulbarton area, is number 9 on the list of people eligible to use the 8-person nuclear bunker at South Norfolk House.
- Mercury & Advertiser, Norfolk.

Cartoon by Bill Leak, but I didn't record the source details of the clipping, sorry. It was from an Australian magazine years ago (1980s/90s).

I haven't been able to check whether the Mercury & Advertiser report was genuine, but a quick google revealed that in 2003 a Peter Mickleburgh was elected for a 4-year term as a Mulbarton Parish Councillor. My guess is that he's now fighting his way to the top of the list. Go Peter! ;)
