Here's a little cartoon for #WorldOctopusDay 🐙

Ink and watercolor cartoon showing an octopus peeking out of a coconut shell underwater. The octopus says: "I've been working on a novel, but I'm afraid to show anyone. Maybe I'll put one page out there." A fish swims up to look at the page and says, "That stinks!" The octopus disappears inside the shell and says, "Everyone's a critic."

Awkwardly avoiding a deep dive into a pretty problematic #lovecraft: "Facts" Concerning the Late Arthur Jermyn and His Family thomasedmundblog.wordpress.com/2025/10/08/f...

“Facts” Concerning the Late Arthur Jermyn and His Family

Okay so this one is pretty out there, I’ve mentioned it a few times and will probably have to keep talking about but this one is Incredibly Racist, and not just because there are offhand comments …

The deep dive is a little more literal this time! #Lovecraft The Temple thomasedmundblog.wordpress.com/2025/10/08/a...

A Literal Deep Dive into The Temple
