The Oatmeal has it right: Enough already with the Bernie memes.
Timing is everything and you had your chance and if you haven’t placed Bernie somewhere and posted it on social media, it’s too late now.
We’re fixated now on the horror of
Joe Biden owning an expensive watch and a Peloton exercise system, which is such a contrast with the modest, monastic lifestyle of our previous president.
Note that the current president favors raising taxes on the sort of people who have Rolex watches and Pelotons, while the previous one lowered taxes on people who live in what appear to be 19th-century bordellos.
Puppeteer Beccy in action
Beccy Henderson, like so many in the creative industries, saw much of her scheduled work disappear in the past year because of Covid-19.
“It’s been such a difficult year and I haven’t been able to do any of the work that I had lined up, which includes season 3 of Derry Girls. I did manage to do the odd voice over - one of which is airing on BBC Radio 4 on February 7 at 7.45pm as part of a series called ‘The Last Resort’ by Jan Carson.
“So, if you fancy having a cuppa while I read to you in lockdown #3 - tune in to that. I also worked on a short form thriller called ‘Kettle’, which was funded by Northern Ireland Screen and the British Film Institute and shot in September under Covid restrictions. It was a really strange experience, but I am so grateful I got to do it and get a glimpse of a work environment again.”

GANGHWA ISLAND ― In 2020, cartoonist Keum Suk Gendry-Kim s graphic novel Grass won the prestigious Harvey Award for best international comic book. She was the first Korean cartoonist to win the prize, becoming a trailblazer in showing how subtle and serious the graphic narrative can be. Grass, which has been translated into 14 languages, depicts the life of a comfort woman, a victim of Japan s wartime sexual slavery. Based on the testimony of the now elderly survivor of wartime sex slavery, Lee Ok-sun, Gendry-Kim addresses issues related to women and social class.
