May I take this opportunity to wish to all my readers, non-readers, search-engine-robots and those-who-are-too-young-to-ask-questions (those especially), a very happy and healthy arbitrary-annual-date-roll-over-moment; and best wishes for the period-until-the-next-one. In particular, those who celebrate a quarter to four o’clock in the afternoon* of thirds of Januaries – joy to you… about… NOW!
I’m sure that Itchy and Knee would wish for the same, if they would only stop squabbling for a little bit.

Itchy: No, No! Knee, this stir fry is terrible. You've no idea -- let me tell you how to make one properly.
Knee: So, Itchy, you're the expert? Well you can certainly talk the talk!
Knee: But let's see you Wok the Wok...

Again, I am deeply indebted to my adorable wife, Karen, for the idea of this comic. And I’m sure you will join me wishing her a very happy birthday today.

Happy “whatever” to you, dear readers.
Today’s comic was inspired by our visit to our local RSPB bird reserve at Otmoor, yesterday, where we saw and heard an astonishing murmuration of starlings (estimated at around 50,000) swirling around above us and finally coming down to roost in the reeds. My point-and-click photo doesn’t begin to do it justice, and of course there’s the sound of the wings and the calls too! If you get a chance, enjoy this sight while you possibly can — starlings are on the critical list and in serious decline.

UPDATE: Karen put up a video of this on her blog.

starlings at home:
"I don't feel like going out again this evening. How about we stay in and have a nice, cosy murmuration here - just the two of us?"

A comic inspired by the neighbours’ cats we see in our garden.

Cat sleeps. Anti-cat is awake.
Cat eats. Anti-cat will not.
Cat kills shoelaces. Anti-cat just washes.
But I saw in the moonlight --
Cat may /be/ Anti-cat.

I find myself wondering about alliterative story titles. If it had been not a princess but a countess then I suspect she would have been traumatised by a cauliflower rather than a pea.
See Aarne-Thompson classification number 704. Also see this.

Pea couldn't sleep at all. Through a dozen slabs of marble and hardest obsidian he could feel something soft and yielding. By the time morning arrived he was bruised all over.
It was amazing, and somehow sad all at once.
I though about having the caption: “Hello Neighbour — nice comet you have here. Do you need a jump start?” Please suggest any other captions in the comments.

I’m posting this before I go to the party, because there’s a good chance I will either be made to walk the plank or else expire from overdose of delicious food.

Edwina, pirate king, stands on the feasting table on her galleon and prods guests who will not take another slice of cake with her snicker-snee. One guest lies dead on the floor, clutching a golden spoon spattered with chocolate remains.
Caption: Most guests seemed to work out fairly quickly that refusal of seconds at Edwina's Birthday Parties was not quite the thing.
