This came out of that sketch I did a couple of weeks ago, and I’m hoping to turn it into a regular feature, much like the Dark Room and Lab Troll regulars.
Many thanks to Lou Woodley for the idea of placing the Prof’s little girl behind the eyes. Lou actually suggested a kid daughter, but, given the Prof’s age, I thought a grand-daughter was more realistic. Especially since, you know, the biological life-cycle of cartoon blobs closely resembles the human one. Seriously. I’m going to publish a paper on it real soon.

Well, every blogger/cartoonist/medical writer/novelist needs a holiday. And so do I.
This year, we’re headed out to a lovely small Atlantic island for a week. Which means that cartoons should start up again from the 6th of July, if not earlier (or later).
Meanwhile, why don’t you follow the bold example of the postdocs above and give my recently released thriller LAZARUS a go? I’m told it makes for perfect summer sunshine reading, since readers do not recommend it for after dark. And I’m not doing promo here.
Hope you enjoy some summer, wherever you are! Say hello in the comments!
Catch you later,
— Nik
