Comics are for everybody.  ❤

Trina Robbins wrote a couple of books and other writings on this very phenomenon—that girls were the original comic book geeks and it wasn’t until later that they were considered a primarily boy thing.

This is a clip from an island off the coast of Japan called Okunoshima.
During World War II, rabbits were used to test the effects of chemical warfare on the body, and afterwards were released (or escaped? idk).

You are not allowed to bring any animals to this island when you visit, and of course it doesn’t seem like there’s any large carnivores around, does it? The rabbits have become so accustomed to people visiting and feeding them that they will chase you down. The rabbits are allowed to breed uncontrolled because hey, nothing to kill em! You’re not allowed to hunt or trap them either.

Do these rabbits look happy? Or do you think they’re starving?

Do you think this would change if trapping or hunting were put into place to control their numbers?

Wow, looks like all the ground-level vegetation have been cropped into the ground by their grazing (not just in this video but in other photos I’ve seen from the island.) No wonder they’re so desperate for food from humans! 

I also have to wonder how the rabbits destructive grazing has effected animals native to the island. Is there even any native wildlife left? 

Cute invasive species are still invasive species.

The Celtic god Cernunnos on the Gundestrup Cauldron

The Gundestrup Cauldron is a richly decorated silver vessel, thought to date between 200 BC and 300 AD, placing it within the late La Tène period or early Roman Iron Age. The cauldron is the largest known example of European Iron Age silver work. It was found in 1891 in a peat bog near the hamlet of Gundestrup in the Aars parish of Himmerland, Denmark. Despite the fact that the vessel was found in Denmark, there has been a debate between a Gaulish origin and Thracian origin on account of the workmanship, metallurgy, and imagery.

Cernunnos is the conventional name given in Celtic studies to depictions of the “horned god” of Celtic polytheism. The name itself is only attested once, on the 1st-century Pillar of the Boatmen, but depictions of a horned or antlered figure, often seated cross-legged and often associated with animals and holding or wearing torcs, are known from other instances.

Nothing is known about the god from literary sources, and details about his name, his cult or his significance in Celtic religion are unknown. Speculative interpretations identify him as a god of nature or fertility.
