A cartoon from my new book, 'Physics for Cats'. Out next week: www.tomgauld.com

A scientist stands in front of an enormous contraption
"I created this device to test my theory that our entire reality is a simulation, but the readings I'm
getting suggest something much worse"

"What?" Asks a second scientist.
"We're living in a cartoon!" Says the first.
"Does it at least have a good punchline?" says the second.
The fiorst scientist carefully looks over the data, then eventually replies "Nope"

TRANSCRIPT OF CARTOON

This cartoon has four panels.

PANEL 1

CAPTION: The year 2000

A young, beardless Barry is standing behind a table in a public walkway, talking to a passerby. A large sign on the table says "NADER."

Behind Barry, an older, bearded Barry is appearing out of some sort of dimensional portal, a panicked expression on his face.

YOUNG BARRY: Nader is our only choice that isn't a vote for evil!

OLDER BARRY: Barry, stop!

PANEL 2

Barry, bewildered, talks to older Barry, who is still panicked.

YOUNG BARRY: Who are you?

OLDER BARRY: I'm you! I'm barry from 2008. I'm using a time machine to stop you from making an awful mistake!

PANEL 3

Older Barry waves his arms as he talks.

OLDER BARRY: George W Bush is much worse than you think he'll be! There was terrorist attack, and we invaded Iraq, and it's all awful!

PANEL 4

As Older Barry talks to Young Barry, an Even Older Barry, with a gray beard, emerges from a dimensional portal and taps Older Barry on the shoulder.

OLDER BARRY: I literally can't imagine a worse Pres-

EVEN OLDER BARRY: Excuse me, I'm Barry from 2025.

I don’t know who needs to know this but. I’m currently in Malta where Robert Altman filmed Popeye. The film set is still here. I know other people knew this and I’m not the brightest. But. POPEYE!

New York Times Opinion

“I find hate to be virtually omnipresent in the current culture,” Mark Edmundson writes. “There is love out there to be sure — for Beyoncé, for Pedro Pascal and, yes, even for this president, but hate trumps love by a mile now, or so it seems to me. Why should this be true?”
