Modern day slavery. No less.
Family #A has 26 CCTV cameras in their house!! I’m sure it is partly for security reasons but really… Seeing as how burglaries are less frequent phenomenas, they have found a new application – observing the maid. Thanks to this Family #A have found out and severely punished their maid for [...]

Okay, her name is NOT Jane, it’s Loretta.

In recent weeks I have been compelled to revisit one of my favourite cartoonist…
I’m not sure if it’s his real name but I believe it is pronounced Loony.
