A four-panel satirical comic strip titled "MEANWHILE...", offering a critical take on Elon Musk's space ambitions. The comic is drawn in a gritty, textured art style with handwritten text. Panel 1 (Top Left): Set against a dark, starry grey background. A sleek, white rocket labelled "ZoomX" flies upwards towards a bright red circle representing Mars, indicated by a dotted red arrow. In the top left corner, a box reads "MEANWHILE...". Below it, handwritten text reads: "It's off to Mars we go! It costs so much we HAVE to do it!" Panel 2 (Top Right): The "ZoomX" rocket has crashed nose-first into the surface of a large, red, textured Mars. Standing triumphantly on the curved surface of the planet next to the crash site is Elon Musk in a white spacesuit. He is cheering, holding a smoking cannabis joint in one hand and a bottle of whisky in the other. The text above reads, "YAY! MARS!" Panel 3 (Bottom Left): The exact same visual scene as Panel 2, but all the text has been removed. Elon Musk continues to stand on the Martian surface with his joint and whisky next to the crashed rocket, creating a silent, awkward pause. Panel 4 (Bottom Right): The scene changes slightly to deliver the punchline. Elon Musk remains standing in the same position, but the text in the sky now reads, "Soo.. what now?" Meanwhile, the text on the side of the crashed, deflating rocket has changed from "ZoomX" to "Bollox". The artist's signature, "page", is written in the bottom right corner.

That trillionaire in numbers

A graphic combining two layers of text. In large black sans-serif lettering, the protest slogan: "I Oppose Genocide — I Support Palestine Action." Interwoven in smaller red typewriter-style text, a legal warning: "Did you know that displaying this sign may be a criminal offence under UK law — even if you're not in the UK?" A footnote in small red text along the bottom reads: "Terrorism Act 2000, ss. 12–13; Counter-Terrorism and Border Security Act 2019, s. 1."
