Enjoyed this publicity shot for Wolf Hall that makes it look like a Tudor ‘On the Buses’. ‘I ‘ate you Cromwell!’

Hello, Thomas Cromwell! I drew a mini version of the #WolfHall mastermind for all your Tudor machination needs.
A cartoon version of Thomas Cromwell, as played by Mark Rylance in the TV series Wolf Hall. Art by me, RedScharlach. The text underneath him says "Here's Cromwell. All will be right now."

I enjoyed the first episode of #WolfHall and so did my invisible friend Cardinal Wolsey.

I can recommend watching nine-year-olds treating Mike Wozniak with utter disdain for an hour, it's highly restorative viewing. #JuniorTaskmaster

154 years ago #onthisday, Top the wombat died. He was the pet of the poet and artist Dante Gabriel Rossetti who, upon Top's passing, created this self-portrait in mourning. More on Rossetti and co’s curious but longstanding fixation with the #wombat here: buff.ly/3D16FRG

Dreamed that the next series of #Bridgerton was going to be a crossover with Scooby-Doo, featuring Regency versions of Shaggy, Velma and co. I now want this to happen, please and thank you. #IfItWasntForYouPeskyAristocrats

Delighted to hear that #Ludwig will be returning for a second series, so here's a mini David Mitchell to celebrate.

Saw these rather #Halloween appropriate flowers at @kewgardens yesterday. They’re called Aristolochia tricaudata, but deserve a spookier name, given that they look like possessed bonnets with tentacles.

Some important facts: 1. It's my birthday today! 2. I am 53. This is scarily old, but it's the same age as David Tennant and he's still hot, so maybe I am also hot, who knows. 3. I am now going forth into the world to find some cake and eat it. I shall report back on my findings.

Thank you for the birthday wishes, lovely people! I had an excellent day, which included this banoffee tart, and this evening involved a delicious dinner and plenty of 🍷🍷🍷 so I now feel a GRATE LUV for everyone. 🥹

My cartoon for this week’s @GuardianBooks
Image: a floodlight projects the image of a bat onto the sky. Buildings are aflame and clouds of smoke rise ominously. Inside his apartment, Batman reads a novel with a scowl. Caption: The crime wave raged across Gotham City, but it was book club tomorrow and Batman had, once again, left a great deal of the reading until the last minute.

Am no longer in Paris. So if someone could get my brain to stop singing “où sont les toilettes?” to the tune of Champs Elysées, that’d be très bien, merci.

If you’ve been to Oxford Circus lately, you may have seen that the site of the forthcoming Ikea store has been made to look like a massive blue Ikea bag. Meanwhile, the new Louis Vuitton store on the Champs Elysées is disguised as a massive blingy LV case, about 5 floors high.
The site on the Champs Elysées in Paris where a new Louis Vuitton store is being built. It’s surrounded by a giant silvery fake LV case, five storeys high. There are even big locks on the lid.

Last #cakeporn of my Paris trip because I’m now on the way home! This was a very tasty sesame and matcha slice from #SadaharuAoki.
A slim rectangular slice of cake, made up of bands of sesame biscuit, matcha sponge and cognac cream. There’s a small green matcha macaron perched at one end.

What’s the matter babe, you’ve hardly sat on your headless man-chair
Side view of a chair designed in 1970 by Ruth Francken, currently on display at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris. It’s made of white polyurethane, and is shaped like a seated nude man with no head. The seat part is hollowed out of his chest and lap.
