Bluebeard is going to visit his agent and tells his beloved manuscript that it can do what it pleases except open the locked drawer. The manuscript cannot resist and opens the drawer to find a pile of unfinished and abandoned manuscripts who wail and warn the current one.

"Science Cat" – #TomGauld for #NewScientist

#Cat #Cats #Science #Cartoon #Cartoons #ComicStrip #ComicStrips

Comic strip featuring a cat in a lab coat conducting an experiment.
The cat pushes a cup using a pen and drops it on the floor, breaking it.
The cat, while taking notes, thinks "Once again, the experiment confirmed my hypothesis, but further research in this area is required."
The final panel shows the cat exclaiming "I love science!"

So, this is cool 👇

The newest post from @tomgauld.bsky.social was shared ~600 times on #Bluesky. But thanks to @bsky.brid.gy it was also shared 250 times on #Mastodon.

(But because most of the accounts here aren't bridged, #TomGauld doesn't even know about this.)

Story structure can be good, it can also make it painfully obvious. Personally I prefer not being able to guess the ending after the first chapter... 🤔😁

One panel comic by Tom Gauld showing a tall man and a short elf walking over a mountain.
The elf reading a book says, "We've had our "inciting incident" and we're on the "journey" so it seems like we'll be having a "crisis" any minute now..."
The man looking annoyed replies, "This quest was a lot more fun before you got that book on story structure."
