The awesome @erinmcreynolds.bsky.social and I have a satirical cartoon in the @bostonglobe.com today about budget cuts at NOAA. We created this piece well before the devastating floods here in central Texas. I'm happy for the piece to run, but I also share it with a heavy heart. ❤️ Link in comments.
satirical cartoon titled animal folklore for predicting the weather without NOAA. Each picture is an animal with a small proverb.If cat hair fills the air, of heat ye must beware. Rat in puffer, deep cold we'll suffer. Rat with a glass, hail will soon pass, If a lizard be depressed, gray skies at best. Happy lizard be seen, apply full strength sun screen. Fizzy pomarianian, soon it will be rainian. Squirrel with an acorn, blue skies this fine morn. But with kite and key, lightening twill be. if a grackle spins round, a tornado you've found. Horse on wheels, hurricane at its heels.

I really wish I had $629.28 to spend on this. I have no connection to this artist--just think this is wonderful. I'll link his website in the comments.

Just chiming in with my opinion that Bill the Cat is the best cartoon cat.
Cartoon panel from Bloom County. Bill the Cat is standing in a doorway wearing only tennis shoes. One arm is raised making the surfs up symbol. He is sticking his tongue out and saying "BLECH, ACK, OOP" There is a fly flying around him.
