Don't you open that trapdoor (there's something down there)! Feeling nostalgic for the weird, wonderful, squidgy and occasionally twisted world of cartoons and animation of your youth? Why not prise open the lid of illustrator Rob Flowers' inspiration box in our interview with him as he Guest Edits this week's selection - but be prepared to be extremely distracted. Rob has a boozy and bonkers selection of events to help you procrastinate, including a folk festival by the sea. Don't worry, it's only a train ride away, and you'll be back in time for bed, where you'll dream of waking up as Bananaman.

In our magazine today you'll find info for tonight's literary fundraiser for Grenfell at Crofton Books - it's pay by donation and you'll see some bright stars read their work for a great cause. Watch the trailer for the new film about Giacometti, Final Portrait for a little artistic inspiration, and treat yourself to a podcast on the design conundrums and quirks of the contraceptive pill from 99% Invisible.
