Is this the only comic that can be made about the Taliban without me getting my head cut off? Maybe, only time will tell, and I’ve heard time is being coy these days about telling us anything.

So yes! I am totally a dad now! Little Man is coming up to his third week of life, and his geopolitical opinions are a little rough around the edges. It’s ok, we have time to iron them out I’m sure. I had a whole lot of great gags written here but WordPress deleted it all. So this post is going to be much more brief.

Auckland just got it’s first lockdown in about a year due to someone walking in some Delta variant from Australia. Nice one guys I hope it was worth it. Although in all honesty I haven’t noticed any difference. I’ve been on paternity leave lockdown since Little Man was born. So my life has not been impacted at all.

Speech bubble comes from inside a blazing house. A fire truck has pulled up outside and a handful of firemen are about to enter the building.
“Listen up people, we’ve got fire retardant materials inbound; keep your head down and you should be fine.”

As a fireman walks through a blazing interior doorway a flame licks out and along his flame retardant jacket. The anthropomorphised flame looks like it’s just received a powerful electric current to its frontal lobe. “WAAAHLLLGGG”

A nearby flame is devastated. “Jimmy? Noooooo!”
Jimmy now has that vaguely sad and lost look of the mentally retarded.
