Spider Jerusalem and his cat. The speech bubble coming from off-panel states "The naked screaming figure running across the white house lawn last night, waving broken manacles and shaking heavy chains, was apparently NOT the vice president."
The view from Combe hill over Eastbourne and in the distance, the sea. The sun is high in the sky, and there is a bank of cloud to the left of the sky
A screenshot from Moomintroll: winters warmth. Poor moomintroll is stuck on a platform in the middle of the ice and snow, unable to leave and continue his quest
A panel from V for Vendetta showing Adam Susan in front of a bank of computers. The text reads: "She touches me, and I am touched by god, by destiny. The whole of existence courses through her. I am her slave. No freedom was ever so sweet."
The results of the May 2026 England local elections, showing large losses for Labour and Conservatives, while also showing a huge bump in Reform councillors.

Now Arthur knew this dog, and he knew it well. It belonged to an advertising friend of his, and was called Know-Nothing-Bozo the Non-Wonder Dog because the way its hair stood up on its head reminded people of the President of the United States of America, Douglas Adams, The Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy #1-5)

A beta.com bluesky post showing "invalid handle"
T’able 2 places R’lyehian closest to Celtic languages (Scots, Manx, Welsh, and Irish) with Welsh being the most frequent among the top three closest languages. As a result, we hypothesize that R’lyeh might be the Caldey Island in Wales at 51∘38’N 4∘41’W, where hooded monks observe Celtic rites and make offerings of the darkest of chocolates to the slumbering Cthulhu.
Six panels from Pete Loveday's "Russell, the saga of a peaceful man". They show Russell listening to a right wing politician on the radio, complaining that the "peace movement" is a bunch of left wing cranks in the pay of the Kremlin. Russell immediately goes out to a phone box to call the Russian embassy and ask for 1) an apology and 2) back pay.

A screenshot of two bluesky posts. The first is a letter from Viz describing using Rod Hull's Emu as an oven glove. The second is describing a NextDoor post asking for Heathrow flight paths to be moved "for a break", which very much feels like it should be on the Viz letters page.

A comic panel from Harry Twenty on The High Rock, showing three men in a lunar landing capsule being attacked by a Squark (which is a chimera of a squid and a shark). The caption reads "The neutron tests of the late 1990s left many streamer missions in their wake. The Squark is one of the worst!"
