A downside to re-reading my old notes and news posts from when Brainfist was originally published is the reminder that it used to be possible to go to exciting places like, you know, outside your house and meet other people at – I swear these were real – actual comic conventions. Anyway, those times are lost to us now. I hope all my fellow Brits are faring well as we begin Lockdown 3: Boris Is The Bandit.

Cheery! I hope everyone has a merry New Year’s Eve, or as merry as can be considering the joys of lockdown. Top tip for celebrating at home while not being able to see anybody outside of your bubble: alcohol! Plus also: additional alcohol!

This strip originally published on Christmas Day in 2006, accompanied by the following warning from the Surgeon General: “Warning! Do not attempt to feed your cat twice its own body weight in cocaine! It’s almost certain to be somewhat illegal.” So there you go. Happy Christmas everybody!

When I was a kid, I remember being obsessed with that old “my dog’s got no nose” Joke. I’d tell it to people again and again and again. I was a pretty annoying kid.

Pics or it didn’t happen?
