The Politics Actuary is a weekly cartoon about what happens when an actuary watches the news, reads the small print, and can't keep quiet about it.

Set in a fictional household — a dad who can't switch off his professional brain, a family who've learned to live with it, and an inexplicable pet crocodile — the series takes on politics, the profession, everyday life, and the absurdities of overregulation.

Cartoon #5 in the series. When an eleven-year-old deploys the "everyone has one" argument at the dinner table, most parents cave. An actuarial parent reaches for the notepad.
