![A 3-panel comic drawn in pen with colored pencil; the top caption says "I wanna draw another animal I've never see. The 'Margay' has been on my list for a while..." Below that caption is a drawing of my longhair calico cat Margo, sitting in front of a rainbow with the caption "Margo [crossed out] Margay" and a scraggly speech bubble that says "Margo don't understand the complexities of human sexuality and she don't care neither." The dailogue in her speech bubble has unnecessary accents over all the vowels, as is her way.
Panel 2 starts with a caption saying "OK, no reference:" and shows a drawing of what resembles a manta ray, but semi-transluscent with organs showing in the abdomen(?) area, and bioluminescent globules trailing off of the 'wing' shapes on its sides. There are cursive captions surrounding the drawing that say "Something like a manta ray? A face that has seen the horrors of the deep. Shaped like a lunar moth? Squishy lil guy."
Panel 3 starts with another caption: "Now with reference:" and shows a drawing of a small, spotted cat sitting in a cross-section of tree limbs and looking at us with a flat, depressed expression on its face. The captions say "Why, it's just a sweet little tree kitty with yaoi hands. The face of a divorced dad." Beneath the comic is my signature: "Baumann '26"](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hzvzwp4ocv2v4zwetmmn5dmu/bafkreidpsc4j5ffcory7yworbwmgdam3hp2bzz2irfreukhqjtkqxyy2iu)
