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.

Title: Easily Bored

Kite is in a job interview. It may be the future, but job interviews still look painfully similar. Or similarly painful. She doesn’t seem to be taking it terribly seriously.
“It says here you used to be a space trucker - titanium, mostly. Why did you leave?”

Kite is floating in space, wearing a spacesuit or oxygen apparatus of some kind.
Her console is squawking out the words “Safety override enabled. Collision course set. Catastrophic system failu-”
Her spaceship is headed directly toward a massive sun and is in the process of exploding in an incandescent, spectacular fashion.
She has only two words to describe the sight: “Fucking. Awesome.”

Kite responds brightly, “I’m easily bored.”
