An extraordinary discovery into medieval life: archaeologists in southern Italy uncovered a 12th–13th century grave containing a woman buried while holding a child. DNA may reveal their relationship, while further analysis could uncover how they lived, and died, 800 years ago. 🏺🙏

Three panel comic. Panel 1: a woman pushing a shopping cart into a grocery store. In the baby seat of the shopping cart is an unusual orange creature with a trunk and antennae. The security guard standing in the doorway says, “ma’am, you can’t bring that in here.” Panel 2: the woman turns around and gestures at the creature. She says, “come on… he’s not hurting anyone.” Panel 3: the security guard points matter-of-factly at a sign on the wall behind him. The sign reads in bold red letters, “NO SHNOOBS. NO EXCEPTIONS.” It features a picture of an identical orange creature, the humble shnoob.
