You're someone to me

Nigel Farage is the leader of Reform UK, a far right party who are currently in the process of a serious bid to become the UK government. they are just straight up evil.

Count Binface is an intergalactic space warrior with a bin on his head. he likes to run as a novelty candidate in general and mayoral elections. a big thing he likes to do is run as a candidate against the incumbent prime minister:

Anyway, in brief:

Nigel Farage is currently in the midst of a big scandal about his finances

He has decided to deal with this by 1) making a show of nobly resigning from parliament and then 2) immediately running in the resulting by-election

He has stated that he is letting 'the people' judge his actions and implied that if he wins that will prove that he has been exonerated in the court of public opinion

His goal was presumably to get a big resounding win over the other parties, proving that The People still love him.

the other parties have thus far decided that this is a 'vanity election' and, well, there is one very easy way to ensure that he will not beat any of them, and that is simply not to play.

and as a result the only person who has so far confirmed they are running against him is Count Binface. no matter the outcome this makes Nigel Farage look like, u know, a fucking clown.

If NF wins, he won against a joke candidate and thus it only makes him look an idiot (homer beating 8 year olds style) with no legitimacy, AND he will still go through the investigation that most of the HoP wants to put him through.

"Let me have a look. Hmm, it is a bit red. Slightly inflamed."

"I think perhaps you could scratch the itch... with some sort of probe, perhaps...? ;) A long, sensitive instrument?"

"Mm? Oh, yes, of course. In a moment."

".....Watson, what are you doing"

My animal sketchbook Kickstarter is now live, for a whole month!!

I am very proud of this project - before starting to draw animals last November, I really didn't have much confidence with their shapes, but after >100 drawings, I gained so much knowledge!

Here are the reward tiers (all prices are in CAD, and I am shipping everywhere):

If you'd like to see all of the pages (not edited as nicely in the book), go to my animals tag!

Any support would really mean a lot, even if it's just spreading the link around to friends :D

I wasn't planning on any stretch goals, but I might consider adding a little notepad or sticky notepad with a low-opacity animal sketch on each page, if we get to like, 125% or something??
