Three panel comic strip featuring Cartoon Wayne and the chicken who lives on his head in the form of a sarcastic sideburn. Wayne: Being unable to gig due to caution about COVID has been driving me mad! Wayne: So I've started live streaming music twice a week on Twitch. Chicken: How's it going? Wayne: Fun! But very few people show up... Chicken: Perfect. Just like your gigs.
Background is a blue-tinted seaside scene on a cloudy day at low tide with sand and rocks in the foreground, with a shallow expanse of seawater beyond and higher land beyond that across the horizon, with an ironwork footbridge visible towards the right hand side. Text overlay reads 'wayne birthday stream' at top, and '2025-07-23, 8pm UK time party.radiofreefedi.net' below.
Keir Starmer, caricatured as tube of Anusol haemorrhoid cream, with his head as the cap: I like and respect Donald Trump. KS: The Western Alliance couldn't be being dismantled by a nicer felon. KS: Uh... fellow! I meant fellow.
A pair of colourful mittens on a wooden table. The striping of the colours from mitten to mitten does not match. It's a bit chaotic.
Six panel cartoon. Panel one: Elon Musk's head on the body of a chess pawn surrounded by heading text reading 'Elon Musk Teaches Chess', with sub-title "The American Gambit Part Two". Panel two: Above, a chessboard after the following moves: 1. e4 e5 2. d4 exd4 3. c3 dxc3 4. Bc4 cxb2 5. Bh6 bxa1=Q 6. Qxd7. The last move is given on the right with double exclamation marks. Below, Musk says: It's time we got rid of the worthless DEI hire in our own camp! Panel three: Chessboard: 6... Qxd7 7. Bxf7+!! Musk: Another brilliant innovation, attacking the Black king and giving check, which as expert like me know, is very nearly checkmate. Panel four: Chessboard: 7... Kxf7 8. Bxg7!! Musk: This move reprograms the matrix to make success one of the possible outcome. Black will not be expecting this. Panel five: Chessboard: 8... Qxb1+ 9. Ke2!! Musk: A spite check, but don't worry, America! I am policing myself. Panel six: Chessboard: 9... Qhd3# Musk (now wearing sunglasses): It's checkmate, which means we win. Footnote: In next week's masterclass, Donald Trump shares his insights on the Najdorf Sicilian Poisoned Pawn Variation.
Six panel cartoon. Panel one: Elon Musk's head on the body of a chess pawn surrounded by heading text reading 'Elon Musk Teaches Chess', with sub-title "The American Gambit". Panel two: Elon Musk: Super Genius Elon Musk here, showing you how to play the simple game of chess. Deep study will pay dividends to those hoping to learn from my mastery of strategy and tactics. Remember, you owe those dividends to me. Visit x.com for payment details. Panel three: Above, a chessboard on which the following moves have been played: 1. e4 e5 2. d4 exd4 3. c3. Below, Musk says: Sacking a second pawn makes this the American Gambit, not the Danish. Please update your databases with the new name or you will be banned from chess. Panel four: Above, chessboard with further moves: 3... dxc3 4. Bc4 cxb2. Below, Musk: My basic opening principles should be clear: sack everything quickly, figure it out later. The standard book mind virus move here is 5. Bxb2, but this wastes an opportunity to sack our first major piece and remove a large burden on the White taxpayer. Panel five: Chessboard: 5. Bh6!! Musk: With this brilliant innovation, we rid ourselves of both a useless rook and a useless bishop in one move! Panel six: Chessboard: 5... bxa1=Q Musk: Don't worry about the new black queen. She's clearly nothing more than a woke DEI hire. Footnote: Don't forget to check back next week for part two of Elon Musk Teaches Chess: The American Gambit. If there is a next week.
