My chat with @cbccpodcast.bsky.social gave me another soapbox to talk up the 🐐ness of @beetlemoses.bsky.social, which reminded me to share my conversation with Beetle from February where we talked about his work, the origins of the strip, idea generation, and more. It’s a good one.

Oh no! I’m so sorry.

Our toddler has Generational Autumn Impatience. Here he is last August, age 2, when he would check the front yard for decorations every day and ask, “Halloween, Where Are You?”

Franka Tretinjak's art for "Darkness Box" has, in the foreground, a cat with its head turned to eye the viewer. The cat has its tail wrapped around a trunk that is open just slightly, and billowing dark clouds surround both cat and trunk. In the background, a figure stands in a hallway painted in shades of blue, with an orange doorway and a bright sun at the end.

Laura Martinović's art for "Nine Lives" depicts nine somewhat abstract figures, all in shades of gray and white, standing close together against an orange-yellow background

Melisa Gračić's art for "Things" is all in black ink on a white background, and shows a stylized mountain floating above a body of water, with the mountain's shadow on the water.

Three more images from the new Croatian edition of The Wind's Twelve Quarters, which includes an illustration by a different artist for each story in the collection.
