Nature-inspired Comics?

Yes! Saw this one this morning too. And let’s add the ‘chaser’ he (Zach Weinersmith) usually adds to his stuff (the Red Button panel):

I love SMBC. The Weinersmiths (he works with his wife) also put out terrific books. Not your typical comic subjects at all, and also super informative and well-researched. A real treasure these guys, for all of us (including the non-grad student crowd!).

If we’re adding the red button panel, let’s also add the hovertext – "We are assuming for the sake of argument that all bits of human are equivalent, which is basically correct." :joy:

A noble service - clearing the plague of humans.

having spent a lot of time around non-human primates, i couldn’t not post today’s smbc as well

I’m opposed to these unrealistic beauty standards about red and tumescent anogenital regions, I agree

Calvin and Hobbes is full of some great ones. I also really enjoy Chats from the Void (https://www.instagram.com/chatsvoid/), these are just a few of my favorites.



I can’t imagine the audience for taxonomy jokes is very large, but SMBC is going for it

XKCD - Fireflies: https://xkcd.com/2802/

another SMBC

I saw this New Yorker cartoon and, of course, interpreted it in the exact opposite way from the way it was intended.

The Ocean: Will they take those plastic bits home?

another xkcd and another from Zach Weinersmith

I do memes about wild bees on https://nonhoneybees.com/ - if you care to visit, you are welcome

I love these!

(moved these from the memes topic to the comics topic)

These are fantastic, thanks for sharing!

(I laughed so hard at your captcha one: “Mark all squares with Lasioglossum”…well, no danger of a bot being able to figure that out any time soon, if the performance of iNat’s computer vision is any indication)

Pretty sure one was Halictus just to throw off some…
