3-panel SMBC comic update. God is talking to a pod of dolphins. He says "dolphins! It's me, God. I just want to say you've been doing great down there. Can I get you anything?" The dolphins reply that they want "more places to play, hooray!" The next panel shows God popping in to tell Noah to build an ark "because of sin or something."

I need to do a collection of just comics containing the word Hooray.

Inside an old church turned into a concert hall. Red lights are shining through the stained glass windows and on the empty stage. Instruments are set up.

Time for another gig, back in Paradiso Amsterdam. Waiting for Maxïmo Park, playing A Certain Trigger (anniversary).

Björk of course! ❄

I have custom made ones, never go to a gig without them. 😊

Haha, I wanted to say "bring earplugs" but I am a couple of days too late 🤭. I hope your ears are ok.

☀️🌑🛰️ 2026: The year we arrive at Mercury!

After almost 8 years since its launch in 2018, BepiColombo is entering its most critical phase yet. It is about to end its interplanetary phase and initiate its Mercury approach.

As much as I love Doubt, will there ever be a Perverse anniversary tour?

Ieder zijn mening, maar Florence and the machine is al jaren niet echt een band. Eerst was het een duo, later is het haar eigen artiestennaam geworden. Dus dat de liveband niet veel aandacht krijgt, is eigenlijk wel logisch?

Inside a large concert arena, which is till pretty empty. Above part of the stage there is a big, flowery curtain.

I true style I am very early, waiting for #Florence and the machine at the Ziggo in Amsterdam 😊. Feeling a bit underdressed, lots of people in nice outfits 💃

How long is a passport or ID valid? I am in Europe, in my country everyone over a certain age needs to have ID. It is a relatively easy process, though, and they are valid for 10 years. Then again, my country is so small, if you drive a few hours you're in a different country 😁!

Roses are red,
But that's not quite true,
They absorb every wavelength of the visible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum,
*Except* for that hue.

Ever been outside of Amsterdam? There are plenty of other nice places, too, and less crowded with tourists 🤭

You would love Dutch people and what we transport with our bikes 😆. Kids (and adults), pets, flowers, small furniture, carpets, whatever. Some can even ride a bike, while also holding the bar of another bike (without someone on it) and guiding it along that way.

This art features 100 bees of various colors and shapes. These bees are designed in a cartoonish style, based on real species. The common name or species is written below the animals. Some bees are moving leaves, scraping plant hair, or sticking out their tongues. Some male bees have hairy faces and unusually shaped legs. There are also baby bees that have just hatched from their petal nests. Cute and colorful atmosphere. There are over 20,000 species of bees, so I only depicted a very small fraction of them!

A tiny fluffy ball with a long tail in my Somerset garden this week.... 😁😍🐦

Prince used to say that he never left Minneapolis because "The cold keeps the bad people out". Turns out that the people of Minnea are the ones fighting to keep the bad people away. So impressed.

Welcome to the American Winter In the frozen streets of Minneapolis, something profound is happening.

Wow. Finally had a moment to read this www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

I used to love the coloured label stickers that came with them 😁

3-panel comic. (1) [Three small arthropods on ocean floor.] ARTHROPOD 1: Now that we’re multicellular, what are your plans? I’m gonna evolve little legs and swim around with them! ARTHROPOD 2: I’m gonna evolve sharp pincers and use them to crunch stuff! ARTHROPOD 3: I’m gonna evolve glands to make string from my butt and use it to construct elaborate geometric nets hundreds of times my size to catch other animals. (2) [Silence] (3) ARTHROPOD 1: *Dude.* ARTHROPOD 2: Can you *please* just be normal about this? ARTHROPOD 3: *What??!*

Ik ben een Prince fan en zou ooit misschien wel eens zijn studio Paisley Park willen bezoeken. Maar zolang Trump er is, zeker niet. Hartverscheurend hoe een overheid zijn eigen burgers terroriseert!

If Prince was still alive, he would have been so angry! He did a sing and concert for Baltimore a couple of years ago, after the police violence there 😢.

I still love the industrial pop type of darkness of Perverse so much.

We could walk around the corridors at the Open day and peak inside the rooms. It was pretty amazing 🚀. It is huge!

An image of a volleyball against a blue background. The text says: In my home state of Massachusetts, ICE is hunting a man who has an expired visa. They find the man’s car, but the driver is just the man’s son, a teen heading to volleyball practice. ICE arrests the teen.

A conversation between two people in speech bubbles: “Do you know why you’re under arrest?” “No.” “Because you’re illegal. You’re an immigrant.” “Ma’am, I was seven years old.” Then, text at the bottom says: The teen is put into a concrete cell with 35 men.

The community rallies behind him. There's an image of yard signs with the smiling face of the teen that say Free Marcelo. Some quotes from locals: “He’s one of our brothers. Without him, it just kind of feels like a dark, empty room.” -volleyball team captain. “This administration isn’t keeping us safe by putting 18-year-old honors students in prison.” -MA Rep. Moulton

In the cell, the teen helps translate for those who don’t speak English. Many are ill. After 6 days, he’s released. There's an image of a hand and arm, with a crinkly foil bracelet tied around the wrist. Wearing a bracelet that another detainee made him from one of the thin mylar blankets they were given, he says: “ I don’t want to cry. But I want to say...nobody should be in here.”

Something a little different. Some cartoonists put out a call for comics about local ICE experiences. This one happened a few months ago so it's a little older than current events, but it's a story that I never stopped thinking about. #ICEoutcomics

We have city magpies, they are not shy 😉

Ik heb vandaag daadwerkelijk iemand zien langlaufen in het park en daarna op de stoep 😁. Ging ook prima! Niet in Utrecht, maar in Zuid-Holland, maar toch 🤭

And lots of happy kids (and adults) building snowmen, sleighing, having snow fights, hearing the snow popping under your boots, even snowboarding! ❄☃️🏂

Oh and I am forgetting to tag #sneeuw, scoll up for photos ⛄

An igloo made of snow blocks standiing next to a snowman, in a field covered in snow between houses. The snowman is about the same size as the igloo.

Someone has been busy in my neighbourhood! I could actually stand in it as I am roughly the size of that snowman (I am not that tall). I don't think I have ever seen an igloo in real life before. It was really quiet in there and cosy.
