My cake is dough

William Shakespeare, assistant manager at The Globe gift shop.

When we were young, my brother used to get Shakespeare confused with Shakin' Stevens.

Special double-length Time Out 40th Anniversary strip in this week's Time Out. Out on Tuesday/Wednesday.

YOU HIGGS BOSON!

Here's the big piece for this week's Nature magazine. It ties in with all the fascinating stuff going on at CERN - each superhero represents one approach to smash the Standard Model. Big guy at the back is the new LARGE HADRON COLLIDER ("LHC SMASH PROTONS!!!"), the others are (l-r) Tevatron, Cosmic Energy, Neutrino Gal and Dark Matter Man. You can probably tell that this job was great fun. Ah, Jack Kirby!

Just finished next week's William Blake strip, which is a Time Out 40th anniversary special.

  

MORE PASSENGERS FROM THE CAB OF MR BLAKE

Charlie Chaplin and a jowly and elderly Mrs T, both of whom have graced the pages of Time Out in recent weeks.

Go see the comic strips on the Comix section of my website if you haven't already.

I've just completed a really fun piece for Nature magazine. I'll post something here when  the mag's out.
