I regret to inform everyone that my pedantic brain couldn’t let me live until I knew whether or not dodger blue and blue jays blue are the same blue. They are ONE PANTONE NUMBER APART.

White beavers are so rare that the Canadian Museum of Nature has a pelt in its collection that's more than a century old.

Incredibly rare white beaver spotted in Ontario - The Weather Network
An expert on Canadian mammals says the beaver has leucism — a genetic condition that causes a loss of pigmentation. Leucistic beavers are so rare that the Canadian Museum of Nature has a pelt in its collection that's more than a century old.

Some days, when it feels like the world is going to hell, I imagine myself in a calm, happy, beautiful place like this — Rene Magritte / The Empire of Light, II, 1950.

I currently have work on display at La Maison de la Littérature and in four libraries (bibliothèques Gabrielle-Roy, Paul-Aimé-Paiement et Monique-Corriveau) in Quebec City. Thanks to @editions_alto for sorting this all out.
A poster drawn by Tom Gauld. A cabinet which looks like a six panel comic. It contains a variety of things: a castle, a drawing machine, a gallery, a sphere containing a princess and a robot, an insect, an artist, a cat, etc. A speech bubble emanating from the machine reads 'Tom a Quebec' A sketchbook page filled with text and doodles in black ink. La Maison de la Littérature, Quebec. Du 30 Septembre au 16 Novembre 2025. Dans l'atelier de Tom propose une immersion au coeur de l'œuvre du célèbre bédéiste et illustrateur britannique Tom Gauld, à qui l'on doit, entre autres, La revanche des bibliothécaires, En cuisine avec Kafka et La physique pour les chats. Profitez d'un accès privilégié aux coulisses de la création grâce à des planches originales, des bandes dessinées tirées de ses livres et une série de carnets - le tout accompagné de commentaires de l'auteur. Divers éléments ludiques et interactifs issus de son univers Bibliothèque de Québec. Du 20 Septembre au 21 Janvier. Tom à Québec. Plongez dans l'univers pétillant et décalé de Tom Gauld, bédéiste britannique qui a conquis les lecteurs du journal The Guardian et les amoureux et amoureuses du livre. Au détour d'un rayon où se cache peut-être un ouvrage inusité, un robot chuteur, un lutin ou un extraterrestre lettré, vous serez surpris par l'humour et la subtilité des vignettes présentées un peu partout sur les murs. Au programme : planches de format géant, signalétique ludique, casse-tête, cartes postales et des activités pour petits et grands!
