Delighted to receive these today, complete w/ author's signatures! Nice paper, good fonts, sound bindings. Quality reproduction of the images. Well done on the bookmaking side of things -- occupational hazard to start w/ the exterior. Looking forward to reading! @dj-acid-reflux.bsky.social

There's some pretty satisfying stuff if you web-search "bad horse drawing" -- not even including pictures of bad horses drawing things. Aside from the famous one, this one is pretty good:

The interview by writer Tom Cox @dj-acid-reflux.bsky.social of socialite Philippa Islington-Smythe (pictured) resulted in Philippa having her own Wiki page, and appearing in various AI searches as a real person. The internet is a tricksy place.

Saw this on a knitting website and was delighted; it was made on a site where you can build your own Bayeux tapestry:

Sent by a friend, captioned A Classics education proves useful for adding captions to cat pictures. Not wrong.

Very nice, brilliant colors even now. I’ve always liked this famous one:

#nokings Ypsilanti MI. Guessing about 8,000 people. Lots of inflatable frogs, bunnies, cats. Squirrel in keffiyah and squirrel in bandana. All peaceful. Many US flags. Toddlers and old people, everyone in between. Ain’t that America, as the man says.

Very sorry for your loss, Lauren. Here’s an Egyptian goose, from the Univ of Cologne (not native to US).

And this really excellent mosaic. Hard to see from this angle but at the top left is a rabbit, and the tiles used for the eyes make the bunny seem to be looking behind it at the dog that’s gaining on it. Quality work, long ago.
