willow ptarmigan. Thank you for spreading the bird word, @c0nc0rdance.bsky.social
A willow ptarmigan in winter plumage stands on a snowy hill and watches as a werewolf finishes off a traveler below. Ptarmigan: Oh god. Oh god. I... oh god... I tried to warn them... Pen and watercolor.

Animals with misleading names. I'm seeing this go around as part of a viral tumblr thread so I thought I'd reshare it.
A comic called Animals with Misleading Names. There's an electric eel labeled "not an eel". There's a mountain goat labeled "not a goat." There's a maned wolf labeled "not a wolf." There's a king cobra labeled "not a cobra. Also, snakes are typically self-governing." There's a peacock mantis shrimp labeled "Not a peacock. Not a mantis. Also, not a shrimp." There's a horny toad labeled "Not a toad. Only thinks of you as a friend." There's a mayfly labeled "active through the spring and summer." There's an eastern kingbird labeled "found in the west. Many birds do not recognize its authority."

Ich hab gerade diesen Satz gelesen:

“Art is ment to disturb the comfortable, and comfort the disturbed.”

Und das fasst sehr treffend zusammen, was Kunst für mich ist.

My latest cartoon for @newscientist.com

p.s. this week I am on a USA/Canada tour with my new book. Details and preorder links at tomgauld.com
Panel 1. image of a huge nuclear plant. “Reactor Overheating” 2. A worker in a hazmat suit works at a computer. The screen reads: “Press cancel to avoid critical overload” 3 - 9. The worker continues to type at the computer. The screen changes in each panel and reads: “Enter password to confirm” “Incorrect password” “Incorrect password” “Do you want to reset your password?” “Reset link has been sent to your email” “Please choose a new password” “New password can't be the same as old password” The colour gets hotter in each panel. Starting blue in 1 and ending in red in 9. Panel 10. Wide view. The entire earth is blown up.

Is everyone's printer this rude, or just mine?
A photo of my computer screen. On it is a window that has 'Epson Printer Connection Checker' as a header bar, then a blue circle with an exclamation mark inside. Next to that are the words 'Problems are found. Fix them.'

Unsolved Physics Problems

xkcd.com/3115/
Comic. The Three Types of Unsolved Physics Problem (First panel) Vague. PERSON [next to curved diagram] What is the nature of time in quantum gravity? Is it a background parameter, a dynamic aspect of spacetime, or an emergent phenomenon? (Second panel) Precise. PERSON 2 with short hair [device with equation below: 71Ga + νe → 71Ge + e- .] Why does the *S.A.G.E.* Gallium Neutrino Capture Experiment produce only 75% as much germanium as predicted? (Third panel) Cursed. PERSON 3 with white hat [rectangular block with hairs growing out of it labeled Zinc Whiskers] Why does some metal randomly grow hairs? It keeps causing short circuits and we have no idea what’s going on. OFF-PANEL: Is this a joke? PERSON 3: No! Please help!

My latest books cartoon for @theguardian.com
Title: Choose your seat in the literary festival event tent. Image: lines of chairs set out in a tent, a stage at the front has two more chairs on it. The chairs are colour-coded and labelled 1. Awkwardly close 2. Too far away 3. Good view / can't hear 4. Good sound / can't see 5. In a cold draught 6. Behind a giant 7. Between a chatter and a shusher 8. Very creaky chair 9. Great seat / wrong event A single yellow chair is labelled: 10. Just right!

On the anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic, we thought we'd answer a question that's often asked,

"If they raised the Mary Rose, why not raise the Titanic?"

Allow our scaled diagram to explain...
A light blue diagram depicting the sea, with the water's surface at the top, and just below it is an outline of the Mary Rose, with the depth (12m, 40ft or 6.7 fathoms). There is a line showing the seabed, which takes a rapid dive into the vertical...
