My books cartoon for this week’s @theguardian.com

Panel One.
Two figures walk up a hill in a park. One walks in front and the other is walking a dog

Front "My new year's resolution is to stop lending books"

Dog-walker "Really?"

Panel Two.
Front, becoming agitated
"It's just not worth the risk: cracked spines! Bent corners! Torn pages! Grubby fingers! Crumbs! Baths! Burglars! Rats! Children!! I can't allow such precious artefacts to fall into the careless hands of clumsy philistines!"

Panel Three.
Dog-walker "And how do the other librarians feel about this?"

Front "Less supportive Than I'd hoped."

Teijo National Park delivered four seasons in an afternoon—storm fronts, brief shafts of light, and mirror-calm water. Chasing clouds and waiting for those small, quiet moments. #Finland #TeijoNationalPark #LandscapePhotography #NikonZ6 #Cloudscapes #Reflections

Tall storm clouds hang over a forested lakeshore. A small patch of sunlight illuminates trees on the left while the lake lies dark and calm below.

A line of turquoise rowboats tied to a wooden dock on a quiet lake, with dark, brooding clouds and forested shores in the background.

A small tree-covered island sits on a mirror-still lake, perfectly reflected in the water. Heavy gray clouds loom above.

A happy book says:
I'm so proud you chose me as your holiday read! I can't wait to start entertaining you!

A smiling drink says:
And I'm right here! Ready to keep you cool and refreshed while you read!

A gleeful phone adds:
Yay! So great! How about we kick things off with a load of the same old rubbish you always look at, plus some gloomy news and mavbe a few emails from work!!

Hours later...

The drink and book lie untouched.

The phone is out of view but a bubble reads:

The book says
“I hate that guy.”

I thought the worst thing about it was the ridiculous hyper-airbrushed texture we’ve come to expect from this nonsense technology and then I saw the actual full ad and apparently this fake woman made of environmental ruin and stolen art is about eight feet tall

An AI generated image of a blond woman wearing a black and white horizontal striped dress in front of a blue wall. She appears to have legs the length of which would look more appropriate on a literal Barbie doll.

Found my father-in-law's Lamy ratio fountain pen, likely from the 1950s! It came with a "5-year guarantee" – what nonsense! A little warm water and it's writing perfectly, probably with ink from the 1960s. Still working like a charm. #Lamy #VintagePen #FountainPen #StillWorking #QualityBuild

A vintage Lamy ratio fountain pen, dark brown, resting on its original yellowed cardboard box, which features an illustration of the pen. Below the box is a folded guarantee slip. In the background, on a white notebook, the words "WOW LAMY STILL WORKING" are written in blue ink, with the pen uncapped beside them. The image shows the pen, box, guarantee, and a handwritten note.

Meyer Turku’s shipyard in Turku, just next to Raisio, builds some of the world’s biggest cruise ships. I caught a glimpse of the newly completed Star of the Seas under brooding skies. #Turku #Raisio #MeyerTurku #CruiseShips #IndustrialPhotography #NikonZ6 #KoneCranes

A marina filled with sailboats in the foreground, with Meyer Turku’s giant shipyard cranes looming in the background under moody evening light.

Cloud chasing again—this time in Hauninen, Raisio. I never get tired of watching the sky transform into something sculptural and surreal. The clouds always steal the show. #Finland #Raisio #BlackAndWhitePhotography #Landscape #Cloudscapes #NikonZ6 #StormLight

A panoramic view across a lake with a forested horizon. Massive clouds in various shapes and densities create a theatrical sky stretching across the frame.

A wide view over a calm lake with dense forest in the background. Above, swirling clouds stretch across the sky in layered formations.

A gravel path curves through a lush green area, leading toward dense trees and a powerful buildup of storm clouds. The sky glows softly behind the darker masses.

Towering cumulus clouds rise above a flat field bordered by trees. The dramatic cloudscape dominates the vertical frame, giving a sense of looming weather.

Birdwatching in Raisio gave me a few quiet but beautiful moments—waders balancing on rocks, a bunting glowing in golden reeds, and a flycatcher pausing in a patch of light. Just enough light, just enough luck. #Finland #BirdPhotography #NikonZ6 #Raisio #NatureMoments #SpringBirding

A common sandpiper standing on a lichen-covered branch against a soft green background. The bird is slightly turned to the right, with delicate lighting highlighting its plumage.

Black and white ink drawing of a cartoon by Tom Gauld titled 'Combined Classics: get those notable novels ticked off more quickly!'

Image: a line of four books

1. 'Remains of the Day of the Triffids' by Ishiguro and Wyndham

2. 'Greats: Gatsby, Expectations, Glass Elevator' by Fitzgerald, Dickens and Dahl

3. 'Watership Down and Out in Paris and London' by Adams and Orwell

4. War, Peace, Pride, Prejudice, Crime and Punishment by Tolstoy, Austen and Dostoevsky

Black and white ink drawing of a cartoon by Tom Gauld.
Panel one: Two scientists stand beside a complex apparatus. One says:
“We can't be sure of the outcome until we start the machine, but I know it will give us a new and unusual perspective on our world.”
The second scientist flicks a switch.

Panel two: “Well, this is rather more new and unusual than I had expected.” The scientists are now within the speech bubble and the speech is outside it.

Child: I must search for answers
Young adult: Each answer leads me to more questions
Middle age: ... At least I've got lots of questions
Old age: Ok, I guess questions are my thing now

While waiting for the ferry to Kökar, I came across this tender scene in Galtby. A proud parent standing watch over its fluffy chick—a moment of tenderness and protection amidst the rough harbor surroundings. #Korpo #Archipelago #Finland #NikonZ6 #Birdwatching #NaturePhotography

A close-up of an adult seagull and its small, fluffy chick standing on a concrete pier in Galtby, Korpo. The adult looks alert and protective while the chick nestles close by, framed against the backdrop of a blue, rusty ship and the dark water of the harbor.

Found this rusty classic from Wilhag—a German company that made cranes and excavators back in the day—parked in Hanko, Finland. Love how the sun brings out the textures and shadows. #IndustrialDecay #VintageMachinery #Hanko #Wilhag

Side view of an old Wilhag mobile crane, rusty and weathered, standing on grass in front of a corrugated metal wall. Shadows of the boom and cables create graphic lines on the wall.

Close-up of the operator’s cab on the Wilhag crane, showing peeling paint, rust, and the original manufacturer’s badge.

Macro detail of the Wilhag badge with German text, mounted on the rusty crane body.

My cartoon for this week’s @theguardian.com Books

Title: How to focus on writing your book

There follow eleven tiny images telling a story. The captions read:

Turn your devices off (a writer with a phone and laptop. The screens are dark).
Put them in a drawer.
Lock the drawer.
Throw away the key.
Leave the house.
Do not look back.
Keep to backroads and hedgerows.
Feel your old life slip away. (the writer has shed his clothes)
Sleep by day.
Forage in the evening.
Write by the light of the moon
When you have a passable first draft, commit a minor crime and use your phone call to contact your agent. (the naked writer is in a prison holding a phone while an unamused police officer looks on).

Spent some time photographing Raisio’s industrial heart—massive silos, smokestacks, and power lines cutting through the sky. Something about the raw, functional brutalism of these structures feels timeless. #Brutalism #IndustrialAesthetic #Finland #Raisio

A railway track leading into an industrial landscape in Raisio, Finland. The composition highlights the contrast between old wooden structures and modern industry, with a smokestack emitting a plume in the background. The monochrome tones enhance the raw, gritty atmosphere of the industrial site.

Power lines stretch across the sky, framing the industrial silos and smokestacks of Raisio. The towering utility poles draw the eye toward the center, showcasing the industrial infrastructure that defines this landscape.

A striking industrial structure framed by bare tree branches. The silos and concrete buildings dominate the scene, representing the industrial heart of Raisio. The stark contrast between nature and human-made structures is emphasized in this black-and-white shot.

A close-up of massive concrete silos, their rough texture visible in stark detail. Atop the structure, antennas and a small control room suggest ongoing industrial activity. The black-and-white palette highlights the interplay of light and shadow on the weathered surfaces.
