Good morning #IthacaFarmersMarket. It's a cool, foggy morning, with rain in the forecast, so maybe a slow day at the market today. Or not; predicting consumer behavior has become impossible! Anyway, come have a coffee while looking at the inlet shrouded in fog, and then buy some leather!

My cartoon for this week’s @newscientist.com

A comic strip in six panels. The panels inerlock like a jigsaw with knobs and sockets. Two stick figures walk right to left through all the panels.

Panel 1: Person 1 says "I hear you're working on a new theory."
Panel 2 & 3: Person 2 says: "Yes, I'm calling it the jigsaw model. I think it could change our whole View of reality."
Panel 4: Person 1 says "When Will you publish?:
Panel 5: Person 2 says "But a couple of things are still bothering me." (this piece/panel is a bit squint)
Panel 6: This piece is rotated ninety degees and fits to the others very badly. Person 2 is saying "Soon. I feel like I'm really close"
A second look at the whole comic shows that the last two panels read in the wrong order because the jigsaw has been put together incorrectly.

Found out a few days ago, this little one actually wound up being adopted by his foster family. ❤️ He's even made friends with their dog, it's legitimately so sweet. 🙂

Special little boy who got his feeding tube out today! (It's out of place in this pic.) He had an unfortunate run in with a dog, but is going to a foster home soon where he'll hopefully recover well. He's a little purr and biscuit machine, who this morning tried to get up on my shoulder for hugs. ❤️

Solid black kitten around 4m old. He is sitting up straight in his shelter kennel, looking at me with big eyes and his head tilted. He has a bandage around his neck, and a red tube that he's actually pulled somewhat out of place of where it should be. There is a soft red ball next to his feet, and some smeared canned food on his nose.

Lovely, high-quality art prints are currently available at 30% off with $5 worldwide shipping—which is a great deal as the shipping is sometimes more than the print 😅

Only through the end of the weekend though!

Drawing of an angelic figure with large wings that take up most of the image and extend beyond the boundary of the drawing. The wings form layers of blue, pink, white, pink, blue to echo the design of the trans flag. The angel is a skeleton with a bird-like skull and one glowing pink eye and one glowing blue eye. They are holding a sword to their chest with the tip of the sword pointing toward the ground. Their feet are extended downward in such a way as to make it look as though they were floating. They are wearing a crown of pink and blue flowers on their head.

Drawing of a tiny green turtle with mouth open in wonder and joy as it gazes at beautiful flowers in the pink, white, and blue colors of the trans flag. There is an abstract pattern of green leaves in the background.

Art piece of a digital painting of a tan and brown wren perched on the end of a gray stick among red poppies and green grass.

Digital drawing of a striking white bird whose feathers are all edged in black, creating a stunning pattern. It has a red comb and wattles and a golden eye. It is holding a tiny bouquet of flowers with pink, blue, and white petals in the colors of the trans flag.
