Apparently, it's wear a hat day. Here's a cartoon I drew a few years ago ... suitable for such an occasion.

If you see this, quote with the energy you bring to BlueSky.

BREAKING: An Oscar-winning director was attacked by Israeli settlers so naturally the IDF kidnapped the victim from his ambulance and arrested him x

"Israels military has struck the largest hospital in southern Gaza, killing 5 people including a 16 year old boy. Gaza health ministry says dozens were injured after a large fire broke out in the surgical wing"

Sunday morning pen sketch of one of my favourite authors, Shirley Jackson, writer of such novels as the creepy "The Haunting Of Hill House", the darkly twisted "We Have Always Lived In The Castle" among others, and numerous short stories that will seep into your psyche and stain your sanity.

I want you to understand this is happening in our name and we know most of these men committed no crimes. One is a professional soccer player who was tortured in Venezuela and was working through asylum in the U.S. ICE shipped him for his Real Madrid tattoo and a picture throwing rock & roll horns.

"I woke up to a phone call. 'The tent your wife and son were staying in was hit. Your child and your pregnant wife were killed'. He was only 13 months old. This is my firstborn, Mohammed. My life"

Last night Israel bombed an encampment of tents where displaced Palestinians were sheltering, killing a pregnant woman and her child.

An old one from 2016. Recycling old cartoons because they're still true. #DonaldTrump

Israeli military carried out a series of coordinated air strikes that targeted schools, evacuation centres, residential buildings, public buildings turned into displacement centres... that have turned into a death trap" Hani Mahmoud reporting from Gaza a few minutes ago.

#BBCBreakfast reporting that children, including small babies, have been killed in Israels air strikes on Gaza.

Hani Mahmoud reports that three young men were collecting firewood when an Israel drone targeted them. They were all killed. Hani explains that people in Gaza are terrified of the Israeli drones that hover above them 24/7

Quick pen sketch. #robertaflack

A caricature by Frank Rooney

First thing I've drawn this year, and it shows. Still, it's not a bad tribute, in caricature, to the great actor and screen presence that was Gene Hackman. Here he is as Popeye Doyle in William Friedkin's The French Connection. Marker pen and coloured pencil on A4 paper. #RIPGeneHackman

A great little radio documentary on the late, much missed Shane MacGowan. Definitely worth a listen. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

One year ago today In memory, Shane Patrick MacGowan, former member of the punk band Nipple Erectors, co-founder and lead singer of the Celtic punk band The Pogues, founder of Shane MacGowan and The Popes, died of pneumonia after a long illness. #punk #punks #ShaneMacGowan #punkrockhistoy

Daughter pointed out to me that Lego people make buildings out of the same material as their own flesh.

"One day someone will dig up the records of these meetings, will see us pleading for the lives of our people over and over and over and over again, and they will try to understand why our calls were not heeded" Palestine at the UN security council this afternoon.

🔴Jeremy Clarkson, James Dyson and Junk Stats: Is This the Best the Anti-Inheritance Tax Farming Lobby Has to Offer? Millionaire landowners are using dubious statistics to campaign against the Government’s inheritance tax reforms, reports @josiah.writes.news bylinetimes.com/2024/11/19/j...

Both in the news today for differing reasons. Michael Sheen who remortgaged his house to fund the Homeless World Cup, Jeremy Clarkson who bought a farm to evade tax.
