My latest cartoon for @newscientist.com
p.s. My new book of science cartoons 'Physics for Cats' is out this week. Details at www.tomgauld.com

Panel 1
A figure stands at a lectern
"This image illustrates my theory that, presented with a sufficient quantity of intricate formulae, overcomplicated diagrams and impenetrable acronyms, an audience will agree with almost anything."
The screen is completely packed with such things

Panel 2,3,4,5.
Four audience members say enthusiastically: "My thoughts exactly!", "Hear, hear!", "I quite agree!" and "Excellent point!"

Corot produced this work of Notre-Dame church at Mantes (c1860) when he was particularly interested in the study of architecture. He made many paintings and drawings of churches during this period, although most are of much grander buildings such as Chartres Cathedral.

Word of the day: "samhain" - ancient Gaelic festival marking summer's end & the start of the year's dark half (dusk 31 Oct to dawn 1 Nov).

I wish Autumn never had to end. Not just for the colours, but also that calmness and stillness, the quiet that hangs in the air like a physical presence. But every falling leaf is like a little tick from a clock, time passing in orange swirls and flutters.

A misty autumn morning with orange leaves on the beech trees and littered on the earth below. A path meanders beneath the trees into the mist.

Sviatoslav Richter is as much a man of seeing as he is of hearing, and this is a rather rare combination. For him all music is filled with images which are quite original sometimes.
