The image is of a comic titled "Winter." Panel one depicts monarch butterflies flying. They say, "We take a long journey south." Panel two depicts a bear hibernating underground. It says, "I fall into a deep, impenetrable sleep." Panel three depicts a squirrel holding an acorn, with other nuts scattered around it. Off camera, someone asks, "How do YOU survive?" Panel four depicts the squirrel having grown enormously round after having eaten all the nuts.

Now for some sports news...
(this week's cartoon for @theguardian.com books pages)
Panel One: A sportscaster speaks to a television camera "You join us just in time for the annual booksellers versus librarians tug of war." Panel Two: We see the participants warming up as he continues... "Two very strong teams this year, they’ve both been in training since February. As always, the real skill in this match is not to start chatting about boo-" Panel Three: "Too late!! A pair of librarians are discussing the new Margaret Atwood! A crowd is forming! The booksellers are joining in! It's all over!!" We see all the participants chatting. Panel Four: The sportscaster finishes up to the camera: "The rope lies untouched! The discussions continue! We have a draw for 325th year in a row! Join us again next year!" End. Bonus alt-text Content: Fun fact! The first tug of war was between the staff of Cranston Library and those of Daniel Midwinter Booksellers www.cranstonlibraryreigate.com/ www.blogs.nottingham.ac.uk/manuscripts/2017/11/10/booksellers/

Genial: die Jobcenter laden psychisch Kranke vor, um zu schauen, ob sie wirklich psychisch krank sind. Wenn sie nicht kommen, sind sie "Totalverweigerer*innen", wenn sie es in die Jobcenter schaffen, können sie ja nicht wirklich psychisch krank sein
Zitat Zeit-Text: "Menschen mit psychischen Erkrankungen sollen künftig strenger kontrolliert werden. Sie sollen künftig persönlich beim Jobcenter vorsprechen. So soll geprüft werden, ob die Betroffenen wirklich psychisch krank sind. Diese Regelung könnte sich als problematisch erweisen."

Der Harvard-Historiker Sven Beckert hat ein monumentales Werk über Kapitalismus geschrieben - und sein Beispiel für Deutschland ist ausgerechnet Völklingen.

Verrückt. Aber das erklärt, wieso er das Buch heute in Saarbrücken vorstellt. www.saarbruecker-zeitung.de/saarland/int...
Sven Beckert zu „Kapitalismus“: Völklingen? – „So wichtig für unsere Zivilisation, wie das alte Rom“
Der renommierte Harvard-Historiker Sven Beckert zeichnet in seinem neuen Werk „Kapitalismus“ die Geschichte einer Weltrevolution – und zeigt dabei, welche zentrale Rolle das Saarland in der globalen W...

...and another.

Let's put on a big scarf, go to the park, and read on a bench as the orange leaves fall around us in the low sun." Panel 3 Caption: Soon. Image: they are now outside sheltering under an unbrella in torrential rain. "Shall we go home?" says the reader. "Yes please. I'm getting soggy." says the book.

A cartoon about autumn....
Title: The leaves Image 1: Two leaves hang from branches. "Would you like to hear my new poem?" Says one "Is it another one about the inevitability of death?" replies a smaller leaf. Image 2: "It's autumn! What else am i going to write about?" says the poet leaf. "Well, we've all turned this lovely reddish colour." says the small leaf. Image 3: "Actually, that could make a very nice poem. Thanks!" says the poet. Image 4. The small leaf begins to reply but is blown away by a gust of wind. Image 5: Later. The solitary poet leaf recites a poem: "The year dies. I cling hopelessly. In the end all things fall."

Ein Paar steht, bepackt mit Einkaufstüten, im Treppenhaus. Die Frau liest einen Zettel am schwarzen Brett laut vor: "Liebe Nachbarn, heute ist Vollmond. Es kann bei uns ein wenig lauter werden. Die Werwolfs." Der Mann guckt geschockt.
