According to Dr Xargle there are only four sorts of weather on earth: 'Too hot. 'Too cold. Too wet and too windy.' His talk to his class of shaggy, green, multi-eyed aliens is only slightly off-beam. Why else would earthlings rub each other with fat and lie out in the sun until brown if not to get cooked? And what other explanation is there for the sudden appearance in winter of strange white earthlings with black eyes and orange noses than an invasion? Tony Ross has fun illustrating these and other misinterpretations of the vagaries of the Earth Climate for the amusement of earthlets and earthlings alike.
