Loved seeing this article about sea otters and their incredible importance to coastal ecosystems. Some interesting tidbits here for ODDER fans! 💙🦦
Sea Otters May Be Small Marine Mammals, But Their Effect on an Ecosystem Can Be Huge

Share a 90s movie you think deserves more love.
The cover of the movie Waking Ned Devine. It has the most 90s typeface hovering over a photo of four men all facing left while toasting various beverages to something in the distance. They're wearing funeral suits and standing on a grass-covered hill in the sun.

Now and again, especially in Autumn, I think of Strega Nona—and how clutch it would be if someone made Tomi DiPaola branded pasta shapes

Saw this super rad car outside of the Whole Foods tonight. Cowabunga.
A photo at night of an SUV with a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles wrap. The top half is green, the bottom is yellow, and the side has the TMNT logo and an illustration of Splinter. It’s super rad.

The newspaper comic strip 'Calvin and Hobbes' by Bill Watterson made its debut 40 years ago today. We exhibited a run of Sunday pages back in 2002 and in 2020 showcased an artists' tribute to Watterson in the exhibition 'A Boy and His Tiger.' 1/2

40 years ago, Calvin and Hobbes' raucous adventures burst onto the comics page
The adventures of a precocious 6-year-old and his stuffed tiger debuted on November 18, 1985. NPR's Renee Montagne spoke with the comic strip's editor, Lee Salem, in 2005.

I saw this giant stuffed dog tonight.
A photo of a very large stuffed animal based on William Joyce’s Rocket Puppy book. Its tongue is sticking out, has a rocked strapped to its back, and looks very cute.

Somebody write this heist movie.
A screenshot of an NPR post with an image of nuns and the text “meet the Austrian nuns who fled a care home to break into their old convent.” Further down the image, text reads “Three Augustinian sisters recently ran away from a nursing home and, with the help of a local locksmith, broke back into the convent…”

Happy There Is A Circulatory System Walking Through The Kitchen Day to all who celebrate.
It's an artistic representation of a circulatory system walking through a kitchen, as drawn by Dave Gibbons and written about by Alan Moore. It happens a lot 'round here.

One neat thing about Shreveport is that we have, like, six of these people.

Current status.
A panel of a cartoon moose looking stressed out and surrounded by 10,000 imaginary ducks that are saying “Hiya, Moose!” Text below the panel reads “when not a single one of your ducks is in a row.” This image is from the book Moose Blasts Off!
