If Robert 'Lose the Disney characters in case they cheer the children up' Jenrick is actually appearing on as seems threatened, then expect me and other cartoonists to be whitewashing over our TV screens in protest.

Over 10 years ago, I devised, wrote and drew a series of activity books beginning with 'Destroy This Book in the Name of Science' while sat in a small North Yorks village. It genuinely astounds me to discover they now exist in Vietnamese editions. tramdoc.vn/tin-tuc/bo-sac…

Although some say £100k 'doesn’t go as far as you might think'... it should cover the cost a mag as IT'S PRIVATE EYE WEEK! The new edition is in shops and with subscribers from Wednesday.

It would seem the money from the 'Pirates' franchise has finally run out for its female lead, given this email I have just received. Or could it possibly be a scam?

Happy to all authors visiting schools and other events today, and to all those people in fancy dress. As in previous years, I shall once again be dressing as my favourite author from the world of funny non-fiction.
