Regular reader, Scott the Badger, this is for you.

Let’s say thank you to whoever put that conveniently placed hillock there, which made the job of the reveal on the last three panels so much easier.

Also, thanks to the two badgers who were cavorting outside my study window on the night the controversial badger cull began. You wouldn’t believe they noise they make when they’re playing – there’s scuffling, there’s snorting, and best of all, there’s the cartoonish galloping sound their claws make on the concrete drive way when they’re chasing one another.

The badger cull isn’t happening around our parts, thank heavens – that’s a trial that’s happening in the west country. I have every sympathy with the farmers who are blaming the rising incidence of TB in cattle on the badger population, but I’m not sure shooting badgers is the answer. Maybe if cattle vaccines were a more sensible price it would be more economical to vaccinate the herds than hire badger shooting posses.
