Calvin’s Dad Explains the Pre-Color World

gocomics.com/calvinandhobbes/2024/10/06

Given that Calvin and Hobbes is almost certainly the best (and almost more certainly, the most beloved) comic strip ever, it’s devilishly hard to pick a favorite. But this might be mine. I thought about it often as I raised my own son.

Update: I sent this one to my son, and he sent me this one back. My boy gets me.

Alarmo — A New $100 Alarm Clock From Nintendo

theverge.com/24266272/nintendo-alarmo-sound-clock-hands-on

Kind of crazy to create an alarm clock in this era of bedside phones, but like just about everything from Nintendo, it does seem fun. (Would seem a bit more appealing if it could serve as a Bluetooth audio speaker.)

Imprints of Nature

Maximilian Prüfer makes art in collaboration with nature and animals like ants & snails. Using paper with a very sensitive coating on it, he’s able to record the slightest moments of activity, like a raindrop or an ant’s footstep. Here’s a video of some ants leaving their marks: And some rain drops: You can find more of Prüfer’s work on his website and on Instagram.
