Foxes In Love @foxes-in-love.bsky.social · 27/07/2026
A comic of several colourful foxes. In this one, we see a red fox wearing a burglar mask, carrying a heavy sack on her back.
Narrator: The reverse burglar strikes like a thief in the night.

The red fox drops the sack on the floor with a heavy thump.
Narrator: Swiftly she breaks in, drops her loot, and she's gone again!

In the morning, still bleary-eyed, drowsy Green finds the sack, looking at it with a drowsy yet puzzled expression.
Narrator: The grim light of dawn reveals her crimes.

Green turns around to call towards Blue, who is somewhere unseen.
Green: Blue? Your mom got us with the zucchini again!

Cartoonist scourge. My @smh @theage cartoon.
Single frame. Image of man’s face in Russian hat with red and gold badge, in vignette surrounded by text. Title: “Exiled Russian cartoonist murdered in Poland” text: “Last week a Russian cartoonist (Robert Kuzovkov, aka Semyon Scripetsky) exiled in Poland was murdered (allegedly) by two Belarusians. His satirical cartoons criticised Putin and Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko, among others. A friend of his said “I kept telling him: ‘Mate, they’re going to come for you!’ Eventually there was no point - he was completely reckless and stubborn.”
It must be acknowledged that cartoonists are a scourge. They seek to get in the way of autocrats and murderers just going about their business, and cause unwarranted discomfort and offence. They must be reined in! Obviously we do not endorse killing them. Simply breaking their pencils or making them wear an unflattering hat should do. We can’t have them making our leaders look bad.”

My LoTR subway maps have been quite popular, but they're not the only ones I've drawn! I really like my Narnia one, too. With separate lines for the plot arcs of each of the books, it gives you a fun way to see Lewis's world. #narnia #maps #subway #CSLewis It's for sale here: etsy.me/4mkfBsU
A subway style map on a parchment background. The map's title reads: "Narnia Transit Map: Talking Beasts Ride Free." The map has seven keys, one for each of the seven books in C.S. Lewis's Narinia series. The main movements of characters and action in each book are traced by colored lines, like a subway map. Locations in each book are marked out as stops in the lines. There is a drawing of a lion above the title of the map, and in the lower right corner there is a compass rose.

I've had some requests to make this map available as a poster, and so I have! If you'd like to purchase my map of the eels' life cycle, you can get a copy at my etsy store here: etsy.me/3Nvk5jK The print copy looks like this: #eels #maps
A long, skinny map titled: "Life and Travels of the European Eel" with a subtitle reading: "From the Eel's Perspective." A label at the bottom of the map reads: "Begin Here." The map top half of the map is an mirror copy of the bottom half.

I will put the full text of the column in the alt text in an image in the next post in the thread.

 The map goes from the bottom of the page up, starting in the Sargasso Sea. An set of arrows show the eels paths to shore, then up a river and into a marshland. The arrows continue up the page to show the eel leaving the marshland and heading back downstream, and out to sea. The land is green and verdant at the bottom of the map, because the eels migrate upstream in the spring. The land is brown and dry at the top of the map, because eels migrate downstream in the autumn.

A column of text on the side tells about the eels' journeys and changes. It is more text than I can relate in the space allowed here. Each paragraph has an arrow pointing up to the next one, and they are designed to be read from the bottom of the page going upwards.
