Guten morgen. A surplus of news in the Weekly Hat this week, including yet more from President Obama, the moon and the Conservatives. (Two of those things are more interesting than the other.) So, yes, we have three news stories, though they’re all of a kinda middling length, rather than the usual one huge and one middling.

So, let’s crack on with the table of contents, as I’m not allowing myself to eat breakfast until I’ve got this done, and I’m pretty damn hungry.

• The Man/Moon Interface: Apparently we’re attacking the moon. Did the bastard have it coming?
• Peace We Can Believe In: The Nobel chaps decide to issue this year’s award in the form of an IOU…
• Conservatives – Vote now! Vote misery!: Yeah, it was the Tory conference this week. Thought I should mention it.
• Media and stuff: True Blood! New Who logo! FlashForward revisited! Yet another celebrity death!
• Behatted Photo Of The Week: You saw the hat of the moon!

The last content to be posted on Behatted.com, then. At least for a while.

The comic, I remain hopeful, will return. But this probably is the last Weekly Hat forever. I’ve enjoyed the structure and feeling of having a deadline (and, more importantly, of just about meeting it every week), but I’m not sure there’s a huge audience for UK-centric news digests attached to webcomics. And this does take a fair few hours work by the time I’ve finished researching, writing and publishing it.

So, this be it. Thanks to everyone who has read and/or commented. If you like reading text pieces by me, Feeding The Black Dog will be powering onwards.

In the final Weekly Hat…

• The Festive Execution: My last chance to spout off about an issue. I’ve chosen the death penalty.
• Media And Stuff Extra – The End Of Time: David Tennant’s final episode in Doctor Who. Long-awaited lengthy musings.
• Media And Stuff: Fortunately, there were other things on TV this week. I’ve also been to the cinema and the theatre!
• Behatted Photo of The Week: An obvious final choice. So obvious, I’m surprised I haven’t done it before. (No, it isn’t me.)
