It’s really more an audio link, but it’s from YouTube. One of my absolute favourite songs, “Here It Is Again” by Beautiful South.

The problem with tumblr

I’m picking on aquabooks, but I think they can take it.

Fantastic Planet (1973)

This tells me nothing — nothing — about this image.  Who was the artist that created it?  Is there a higher-resolution copy somewhere out there on the internets? Was it originally a book cover, say, or hanging in someone’s gallery? What’s the tangled web of copyright got to say about it appearing unattributed on the World Wide Web? Why are the dudes (cavemen?) getting all stabby?

(Actually, this image is better than a lot of them. It’s got a title and a date, which is 200% more* than nothing.)

</snark>

Steady as she goes.

(And now I notice that I&#8217;m at 3, presumably because I reblogged the Obama-looks-like-the-pope political cartoon.)

I can&#8217;t really add anything to aedison&#8217;s commentary, but I will point out that I thought Future Obama was supposed to be the Pope.  Which might make less or more sense, I&#8217;m just not sure which.

Spookily enough, I just told a friend about the video version:
