Description: Two people read newspapers. The man comments on the discovery of the so-called 'God particle' and the woman, reading about murder and mayhem comments that they are having less luck discovering the 'devil particle'. Context: Refers to the almost certain discovery of the Higgs Boson particle in June 2012 at CERN. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).

Description: Shows leader of New Zealand First, Winston Peters, as a prophet standing on a mountain top. He holds a tablet that reads 'Winston's NZ First commandments' and reads a newspaper with a headline reading 'Scientists closer to finding the "God particle".' And he thinks 'Where do they get off calling me a particle?!' Context: Refers to the search for the Higgs boson (the 'God particle'). CERN scientists say their data from two main experiments using CERN's $10-billion Large Hadron Collider under the Swiss-French border shows with greater certainty where to find a long-sought theoretical particle that would help explain the origins of the universe. Winston Peters is a New Zealand politician with a tendency to stir and a reputation for being somewhat of a maverick. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).

Description: Shows three cameos for 'The week', each a separate cartoon. The first shows a newsreader reporting from CERN in Geneva about the proof of an elusive hypothesis. He goes on to say that the 'Black Caps can indeed beat the convicts in as test match' and adds as an afterthought that 'we think we found a Higgs boson too'. The second cameo shows Prince Charles and Camilla on the 'royal tour next year'. Prince Charles expresses sadness that Christchurch is still empty of people and Camilla gently reminds him that they are in Auckland. The third cameo is entitles 'Shock and door' and shows an American Uncle Sam exiting a bleak landscape with the smoking remains of buildings and various skulls - refers to the Americans leaving Iraq.

Description: A teacher tries to describe the size of the Higgs-Boson particle to her class by comparing it to ethics in business or politics - it's that small. Context: Refers to the almost certain discovery of the Higgs Boson particle in June 2012 at CERN. Colour and black and white versions available Quantity: 2 digital cartoon(s).

Description: Shows 'Bishop' Brian Tamaki pointing out that he has been around all along - this in response to a newspaper article announcing the discovery of the 'god particle'. Context: Refers to the almost certain discovery of the Higgs Boson particle in June 2012 at CERN. Refers also to the fundamentalist beliefs of Bishop Tamaki and his messianic tendencies.

Description: In the first of two frames two scientists discuss the results from the Large Hadron Collider at CERN in Switzerland. The junior scientist says he has been smashing particles for two weeks now and the planet has not yet exploded and his boss says he believes the poets, that the world will end not with a bang but a whimper. In the second frame the third planet from the sun in the solar system explodes with a 'poof'. Refers to the launch of the Large Hadron Collider at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).

Description: Shows a scene from 13.8 billion years ago, a few seconds before the creation of our universe. Two alien creatures in lab coats stand beside a Large Hadron Particle Collider preparing to fire it up. They are keen to see what happens. Refers to the firing up of the Large Hadron Particle Collider in Cern on September 10th, 2008. It was described as the biggest physics experiment ever. It fired two beams of protons in opposite directions around a 17-mile underground ring in what scientists hope is the next great step to understanding the makeup of the universe. The implication of the cartoon is that the LHPC can create new universes. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).

Description: Shows two Fonterra executives walking past the reception desk. One tells the other that the experiment in Switzerland could go wrong, create a black hole and suck the world into oblivion. The second man comments that right now they have bigger problems. Refers to the launch of the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, which it is hoped will cast light on the origins of our planet. Refers also to the Chinese milk powder scandal where milk contaminated with melamine has caused sickness in thousands of babies. Fonterra has a working partnership with Sanlu, the organisation in the centre of the scandal. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).
