Inside Moebius

While not all signed, they have the unmistakeable look of Moebius. The self portraits are striking and humble. And Snowy keeps popping in. That’s Hergé? Feels like a sweet homage. Everyone loves Snowy.

What used to be called a refried version of that earlier time travel story below.

Used to suspect these Lee/Ditko shorts were more or less Lee given Ditko a previously published story, told him to redo it, scripted and (implicitly) took way more credit than deserved.

But it’s old news that the actual credit that Lee deserves is one thing, the credit he hogged (including the BS he was contractually required to push) is a whole other matter…

this is like the opposite of ASMR

May I present to you Wheel Running In the Wild, a published research paper that delights me to no end:

This paper intended to test whether would mice would run on a wheel if they found one, to try and determine if this was a natural behavior or a stress response in captivity. They put a wheel in a protected little box with a camera that took pictures any time the wheel turned, and tallied up how often it was used by what.

Mice were, happily, the most common users of the wheel, and their patterns of use indicated they were doing so voluntarily once they figured it out.

But the second most common users.

Those were slugs.

I would not have guessed this in a thousand years. I am delighted.

What kind of abandoned place could this be? A theater, factory? Such beautiful architecture.
