Over a year ago, a Dutch frog science magazine emailed me asking if they could include my comic in their upcoming dart frog issue. They interviewed the scientist who first described the blue poison dart frog; he had seen/liked the comic. They sent me a copy, which just arrived:

Another point to this story is that trains are so frequently and reliably late they could rack up £156,743 in compensation.

🇨🇳 Li Liu (left pic) and 🇨🇳 Wanqing Yu (right pic), two Chinese students living in Leeds, have been locked up after exploiting a massive loophole in Britain’s rail compensation system. Liu and Yu raked in a whopping £156,743 — Liu stole £141,031, Yu £15,712 — by scamming the Delay Repay scheme for three years. The pair discovered that the national Delay Repay system did not automatically cross-check claims for ticket refunds and delay compensations. They abused this by first claiming refunds on tickets they pretended they didn’t want, then cashing in on Delay Repay refunds when those trains ran late. The duo meticulously researched train services across the country. They used 16 fake passenger identities to spread out claims and multiple bank accounts to hide funds, and monitored the scam via a 20-SIM card adapter. The scam ran from 2021 until their arrest by British Transport Police. Both admitted conspiracy to defraud and possession of criminal property. Liu was jailed for 30 months; Yu got 17 weeks but will likely walk free due to time served. Liu’s background in computer science helped him engineer the fraud, while Yu’s English skills aided in crafting believable claims. Liu began a one-year course at Leeds University last year, having previously applied for an advanced computer science course at Birmingham University. Yu was enrolled on a one-year English-teaching course at Leeds. telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/10… uknip.co.uk/news/uk/uk-news/…

I don't know why people are getting so emotional about "Eldest Daughter", oh boo hoooo being the oldest daughter is so haaaaard, what are you talking about. I was the oldest son and delighted in my role as colonial viceroy deputized by the parents to impose order on my siblings.

I had a lot of fun in the North East last weekend
The Tweeter and his very beautiful girlfriend in front of a model of a bridge in Durham. They're very happy, with big smiles. The sun is setting in the background, visible through the gaps in bare winter trees.

A nice autumnal / early winter scene: a little pond, the last of the red leaves from a tree covering the path at its edge. The sun is setting in the background, the same scene as the last photo. The Tweeter's girlfriend is at the right of the photo smiling; radiant. Her hair matches the leaves.

The Tyne in Newcastle at late sunset. There are a few diffuse grey clouds, the river reflects the light from the city on its banks and the last of the light in the sky, rippled with moving water. There is a bridge in the distance.
