Everyone's doing it. I just want to be popular.



Greetings from Australia, where we have lost yet another Prime Minister.
Not through death of course, or from misplacing them.
...
That could be fun.
...
No, this time it's due to Tony Abbott being a colossal dickhead/psychopath, who took a huge shit all over our international reputation, human rights record, and standard of living, among other things.
You know. That old chestnut.
The best part is that he got ousted four days too early to qualify for a Prime Minister's pension, though I can't imagine he needs it, and fuck it, he'll probably end up getting it anyway.
Jerk.

Basically he's a crazy arsehole, and I'm glad to see him gone.
No promises that the new guy will be much better.
We'll just have to see.

I brought back the Terror-Worm from comic whatever-it-was, so there's that too.
If you don't understand what the hell is going on in the second panel, feel free to read the other comic for some context.
Spoilers; there is not much context.
I'm trying to loosely maintain a continuing background fantasy universe here.
At the very least I'm going to to be consistent with it.

Planning self-indulgent story-lines that I'll probably never write,

P.S. The guy ate raw onions on at least two occasions, just nibbled on them on camera while talking to farmers, and then didn't seem to understand why that would be weird.
Normally I'd say that the idea of the world being ruled by shape-shifting space lizards was silly, but damn it if Tony Abbott didn't make a good argument for it.

A Pharaoh to remember...oh.


Hello all,
I didn't manage to post last week because I was sick, and so was my cat.
I can tell you with some authority that trying to catch and contain a cat to take them to the vet while you have a cold is not fun.
We're both feeling much better now though, so no need to worry.
Thank you for asking.

The fact that I felt the need to use (largely) actual ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs (or a reasonable facsimile thereof) on this comic probably also contributed to the delay.
That's Tutankhamen's name on the back of the throne there.
Either that or a fun new recipe for pheasant.
It can be hard to tell.

Ankh reed bird man upside-down umbrella,
~King Longburns.
