Excellent article by the ever wonderful @chakrabortty and what a clever use of Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray to argue that successive governments have hidden the awful state of the UK economy - e.g. one in four employees are either low paid or not getting sufficient hours, and our five-year-old children are the shortest in Europe.

RARGH spent most the evening in Krita trying to make a cover for this French Bulldog novella and I am happy with exactly none of my attempts! Maybe I should just try drawing it by hand. Idunno. None of my ideas feel like they're *ping!* right, even in the pencil thumbnails.
