Ich hab gerade diesen Satz gelesen:

“Art is ment to disturb the comfortable, and comfort the disturbed.”

Und das fasst sehr treffend zusammen, was Kunst für mich ist.

My latest cartoon for @newscientist.com

p.s. this week I am on a USA/Canada tour with my new book. Details and preorder links at tomgauld.com
Panel 1. image of a huge nuclear plant. “Reactor Overheating” 2. A worker in a hazmat suit works at a computer. The screen reads: “Press cancel to avoid critical overload” 3 - 9. The worker continues to type at the computer. The screen changes in each panel and reads: “Enter password to confirm” “Incorrect password” “Incorrect password” “Do you want to reset your password?” “Reset link has been sent to your email” “Please choose a new password” “New password can't be the same as old password” The colour gets hotter in each panel. Starting blue in 1 and ending in red in 9. Panel 10. Wide view. The entire earth is blown up.

Is everyone's printer this rude, or just mine?
A photo of my computer screen. On it is a window that has 'Epson Printer Connection Checker' as a header bar, then a blue circle with an exclamation mark inside. Next to that are the words 'Problems are found. Fix them.'

Unsolved Physics Problems

xkcd.com/3115/
Comic. The Three Types of Unsolved Physics Problem (First panel) Vague. PERSON [next to curved diagram] What is the nature of time in quantum gravity? Is it a background parameter, a dynamic aspect of spacetime, or an emergent phenomenon? (Second panel) Precise. PERSON 2 with short hair [device with equation below: 71Ga + νe → 71Ge + e- .] Why does the *S.A.G.E.* Gallium Neutrino Capture Experiment produce only 75% as much germanium as predicted? (Third panel) Cursed. PERSON 3 with white hat [rectangular block with hairs growing out of it labeled Zinc Whiskers] Why does some metal randomly grow hairs? It keeps causing short circuits and we have no idea what’s going on. OFF-PANEL: Is this a joke? PERSON 3: No! Please help!

On the anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic, we thought we'd answer a question that's often asked,

"If they raised the Mary Rose, why not raise the Titanic?"

Allow our scaled diagram to explain...
A light blue diagram depicting the sea, with the water's surface at the top, and just below it is an outline of the Mary Rose, with the depth (12m, 40ft or 6.7 fathoms). There is a line showing the seabed, which takes a rapid dive into the vertical...

Pete Conrad war ein ziemlich origineller Typ. Sein erstes Wort auf dem Mond - weniger pathetisch als zuvor der Ausspruch von Neil Armstrong - lautete „Whoopee!“ Er hatte vor dem Start gewettet, dass er ohne Vorgaben der NASA frei entscheiden könne, was er bei Betreten der Mondoberfläche sagen dürfe.
Aus dem Inneren der Mondlandefähre fotografiert zeigt das Bild bei geöffneter Luke Pete Conrad oben auf der Leiter, die nach unten auf die Mondoberfläche führt. Er trägt Helm, Handschuhe und Raumanzug und ist dabei, auf die Mondoberfläche zu klettern, die man hell und stark überbelichtet im Hintergrund sieht. Da es sich offenbar um das erste Foto eines neu eingelegten Films handelte, ist wohl beim Einlegen etwas Licht auf den Frame gekommen, was sich an einem leicht orangefarbenen Streifen zeigt, der etwa auf Brusthöhe über Conrads Raumanzug verläuft - ein unfreiwilliger Lichteffekt, den sicher viele - sorry! - ältere Leute kennen, die damals mit analogen Kameras fotografiert haben.

An early Halloween cartoon for New Scientist.
Image: A cavernous laboratory filled with sinister outdated equipment, pickled organs, a pentagram and a corpse on a slab. Outside the window, bats fly past the moon while at a desk an angry-looking woman with crazed hair and a lab coat writes in a ledger. Caption: Janet had not imagined that being an evil scientist would involve so much evil paperwork.

An early Halloween cartoon for Guardian Books.
Two figures sit on benches beside a lake. They are both reading books. One figure is labeled “Reading a vampire novel”, the other is labeled “Vampire reading a novel”. In the lake, the human reader, book and bench are perfectly reflected, but the vampire’s book appears to be floating above an empty bench.
