OCTOPUNCH! All in one post for the first time, my twelve-panel comic extravaganza inspired by this research on octopuses punching their piscine hunting partners: www.nature.com/articles/s41... If not the pinnacle of my #SciComm career, it's at least a local maximum 🧪🦑🐙🐡

Four panels of a black and white ink comic.
In Panel 1, a crab asks an octopus, "So could u punch 8 fish at once?" The octopus answers "The hunting group isn't usually that big. Plus I only punch freeloaders." and the crab says "Yeah but could u"
In Panel 2, the octopus is surrounded by fish, and it says, "Wow, there's a lot of fish today! ...5, 6, 7..."
In Panel 3, the octopus has a considering, shifty-eyed look.
In Panel 4, a large action bubble reads OCTO-PUNCH! and the octopus, with its eyes squeezed shut, is punching eight fish at once.

Four panels of a black and white ink comic.
In Panel 1, an octopus is surrounded by eight angry fish. It says, very small, "Um."
In Panel 2, the octopus says, "Ha ha, my arms have minds of their own, you know? Literally!" and it spreads its arms out. A diagram of its nervous system shows the central brain, optic lobes, and eight axial nerve cords in its arms.
In Panel 3, the eight fish are angrier and closer. The octopus is flattened on the ground and there is a *camouflage* effect.
In Panel 4, three fish are talking. "Well, I'm never working with that guy again." "Me neither. What a jerk." "Yeah."

Four panels of a black and white ink comic.
In Panel 1, large text reads "THE NEXT DAY" in a simple underwater scene with a crab perched on the letter N.
In Panel 2, a suspicious fish says, "Hey, you're not the octopus who punched us all yesterday for no reason, are you?" and a frilly, wrinkly octopus says "Do I LOOK like that guy?"
In Panel 3, the octopus stands on the seafloor surrounded by several fish, who are talking. "Nah, he looks different." "Yeah." "Yeah." "Ok, let's hunt." The crab is off to one side, laughing.
In Panel 4, fish are hunting in the distance, while the octopus and the crab wink at each other, doing their anatomical best to give thumbs-up.

Hey Bluesky, could you help spread the word? My goal for the day is one new sale. Here's a lovely pic of some of the Jeremy Creatures currently available at my shop. Each one is designed and hand-sewed by me and takes many hours to create. jeremycreature.bigcartel.com

Here's a lovely pic of some of my hand-sewn, fabric art Jeremy Creatures. The ground is green fur and the background is a beautiful galaxy print fabric. One creature is a gray rock with two different sizes black eyes and a little frown. There's a tall ghost with about 35 black eyes of different sizes and a wide mouth full of sharp teeth. There's another spirit with many eyes, twirly head wisps, and an open mouth with sharp teeth. There's also a ghost with a tiny face, with two different sized eyes and a little frown. There's a black ghost with a gray moon face, their body covered with hand-embroidered stars and planets of various sizes and colors. There's a frowny white ghost featuring embroidered red flowers. There's a super tiny frowny white ghost, and a super tiny black ghost with four eyes and embroidered stars.

Two trees flipped Polaroid double exposure of two trees - part of an avenue to an ancient house in a field. Took the photo, then turned the camera over for the same view, only now upside down and laid over the other like a memory. Not sure if the double exposure is what drains the chemical colour.

A field edge with two trees - one mature, the second almost a sapling. The image is duplicated over the top, only upside down.

A drawing from this evening. What is it? Man…you know I have no idea. But it’s fun.

Art. Black and white ink pen drawing that looks a bit like a long- necked creature with trailing tentacles, shown from the neck up. The neck is long and segmented, as if you can see the vertebrae.

The creature — whom we’ll call Sealesstra — has wide open eyes that scream of innocence and curiosity. Or maybe murder.

Another classic, not sure if I've already posted this one here.

The image is a six panel black and white comic.

Panel 1 - a girl sits at her desk in front of a computer, looking disheartened. She says, "I dont know if I should post this art, who would even want to see it?"

Panel 2- A new person bursts through the door in the background with a loud BAM

Panel 3- The new person pushes the girl out of the way, smushing her face in the process, while slamming their fist down on the keyboard.

Panel 4- The computer shows that the art has been posted

Panel 5- The person makes direct eye contact with the girl while pushing their finger against their own phone screen

Panel 6- A motion blur is added to the last panel, enhancing the impact of the new notifications on the new post. It reads, "(Friend) Liked Post just now" Followed by "(Friend) commented 'I FUCKING LOVE THIS AND I LOVE U'"

Underneath the last panel is a watermark that reads, Shubbabang
