We haven't had confirmation from Sasha yet, but we're pretty certain that's a capybara in the foreground. The inclusion of a weird animal is a masterstroke.

Sasha sent this as well:
This is a cheap shot.
We had another email, from Miriam, who wrote in to point out that it's Rob Key's birthday tomorrow. Obviously, we've got the date stencilled on our cerebellum, but we can't read it there, so we're glad she reminded us. Hopefully today's output is a suitable tribute to the great man.
Happy birthday, Rob.
