New images/animations coming soon. Apologies for the extended break which was due to a relapse of an acute imbibingitus condition which I am prone to. (Guinness mainly)
In the meantime,
Also, here’s a plug for the ‘But Is It Art’ exhibition at Shrewsbury International Cartoon Festival – 18th-20th April 2008.
The link is to the Procartoonist website which provides a bit of a preview and a link to the official site.
Further Update – If you’re heading to The Goose, specifically at the start of the week, check the new earlier closing times before travelling.
Update – Just to say that, as far as I know, it will be some months, maybe a year or two before the Crown and Goose closes.
Excuse the local and personal nature of this post.
A real shame – it seems it’s the end for The Crown and Goose.
A Ten minutes walk to this pub normally results in a thirty minute return journey for me along the same route (after a few pints of Guinness).
The pub has been fighting to stay open for years but it looks like it has finally lost its battle with developers whose representatives seem to be making something of the badly needed accommodation the site will provide :
“If you look at the sites in central London where there is a need for more housing, this is one that I think is ripe for development.
“Ten new flats will come from this. The buildings that are there do not have much architectural merit – they are not listed.”

Hmmm – Ten flats in a rather well-to-do area of Camden. This will surely help vital inner city workers in their quest to find accommodation close to the services which Camden residents so desperately need.
Celebrity-ville, despite the reputation, the Crown and Goose was not. Although there may have been frequent visits by certain members of music’s finest, the Goose is a place that the odd celeb managed a relatively normal drink with his or her mates, without being disturbed.
..and a little bit of analysis from Steve Pound.
Having a break today – In the meantime,
Here’s yesterday’s Channel 4 News animation on amendments to the Olympic Torch relay due to human rights and Tibet protests.
Update :
I’ve noticed a clothing retailer visiting here. It would be very unfortunate if anyone tried to make money out of this – I’m not and am not intending to either.
I”d hope for a strong response from many sites if someone tried to make money out of the issue.
I have tweaked the image slightly and created a larger version for those who have asked for an image they can put on a T shirt. Click on the image for the large version.
I’ve also removed my tag from the large version – it distracts from the piece.
First posted (including smog version) here.
