Wednesday's cartoon in The Mercury Newspaper: Jon Kudelka helped me get my first cartooning job at The Mercury. He also showed me how to be quick-witted and fearless. I was in a constant state of joke-envy over his cartoons. I'm gonna miss that feeling, but more than that, I'm gonna miss my friend.

Getting items out for a visit from @trincolllibcam.bsky.social peeps and loving this diary of John Auldjo in which he's not only sketched Mt Blanc but listed how few people had climbed it before him. It'd be a much long list nowadays!

Interesting things happening in Japan.
"Its signature red wine made from an indigenous hybrid grape variety known as shōkōshi, is aged in barrels crafted from trees native to Japan, including sugi (cedar), hinoki (Japanese cypress) and mizunara (Japanese oak)
