One of the cartoons in my new book 'Physics for Cats' which is out now in the UK, USA, Canada, France and Germany. Order from your local bookshops or online: www.tomgauld.com/

Two beetles on a stick.
One beetle says to the other "Do you ever get the feeling we are being observed by another lifeform"
Zoom out to reveal that they are in a glass case with two scientists studying them.
One scientist says to the other "Do you ever get the feeling we are being observed by another lifeform"
Zoom out into space. Abouard a spaceship, two aliens watch the scientists on a screen.
One alien says to the other "Do you ever get the feeling we are being observed by another lifeform"
The aliens turn to look out at the reader.

Text below the cartoon reads:
From 'Physics for Cats' by Tom Gauld. Preorder it at www.tomgauld.

Today on The Hazards of Love, El Ciervo tries to get in on the montage thing. Also we celebrate toothmas, so you can imagine how that goes.

www.thehazardsoflove.com/comic/28pg03/

A black and white image frame that announces "The Hazards of Love has updated." Within the frame, on a background of colorful Bright World panels, is a selection from today's comic in black and white digital ink:

Two panels, each with an ingredient inside. One is a branch with several fresh looking leaves, some falling. The text describes it as "A dozen new shoots from El Manantial." The other has a flower with three leaves, large petals, and an eyeball in the center. The eyeball is welling tears which drip down into a small graduated cylinder. The text reads, "2 mL tears (despair) from watchflower."
