Wading into the Odyssey discourse with screenshots from Nostos: Il Ritorno (1989), an Italian avant-garde adaptation where all the dialogue is in an untranslated made up language. If nothing else, it is absolutely striking to look at. It's on Youtube.

I often doodle little comics to put into my kid’s lunchbox. They are a fantastic artist, so I get some art criticism on the way home from school as a treat. Here are a few from this week, with a bonus picture of the real life Meatball (orange) and Greta (grey).

A strange picture of a parachutist (my kid) and two cats flying through the air. I redacted my kid’s name but the cats are depicted in ways that fit their weird little personalities. This is today’s comic, so I have gotten any criticism on it yet. Some wierd little fruit guys and a confused kiwi bird. The critique of this one was that the caption doesn’t mention that the fancy orange has a monocle. A super onion like a Super Sonic from Sonic the Hedgehog. Mostly this was a long walk to a bad “onion ring” pun. The critique of this: “The joke about crying at the sight of on an onion was not centered enough”. An orange cat (Meatball) and a gray cat (Greta). The orange is sweet but has exactly one brain cell. The gray thinks she is a kitten.

A genetic analysis explores hair loss in mice due to stress including chemotherapy, noise, aging, and obesity. Stress suppresses the Sonic hedgehog (Shh) gene in the presence of the hair stress-responsive enhancer (HSRE), halting hair growth. In PNAS: https://ow.ly/xaHa50YIlbC
