Fourth round of April Showers cats!
Puddle jumper is my all time favorite of the bunch, but that poor mud soaked cat is having a rough one.

Robin saw his daughter at a wild party when reliving the last day of a murdered prostitute, and it's thrown him all off balance and now he's lying and keeping secrets from his coworkers.
Also he saw an ex-coworker who was supposed to be dead? And he's an ex-secret agent or something? He's just started mentioning "agents" and "the Bureau"
This book feels like it was written in chunks.
The Doomsday Men by Kenneth Bulmer, 1965
In the future, detectives can connect to the brains of murder victims to find out who dun it. So let's find out if this is a thriller or a mystery!

Hak, thank you for a rollercoaster of a time with you! You had so much working against you, but you kept calm and dragged us out as best you could. I hope that you can look back at your time with us and be proud. (To all the haters saying he wasn't good - just stop.) We can't do anything about the past, only look forward to a brighter future. But this is where our time together stops. I only wish the absolute best for you and your family. 💙

Cat in a Starbucks drink was by request but I'm seriously into it 🤣

Interesting bit of world building... apparently society has dispersed. Most people live in "the country" in scattered fallout shelters and cities as a concept have been abandoned (except for the one). Urban crowding and pollution were moving things that way, automation and telecommunications helped tip the scales, and the threat of atom bombs did the rest.
So now there's just the one city, and most people just visit it, they don't live there.

Alright, it's not just women who roll over for this asshole. Everyone just kind of shuts up and rolls over when he's talking to them.

This scene at a party is distinctly uncomfortable, and I can't tell if that's supposed to be foreshadowing something sinister about the guy, or if the book has ~opinions~ about women.
In short, nobody likes this guy, the woman whose POV we're sharing doesn't like him, but she goes along with everything he says and suggests. Multiple times, the woman thinks "ugh, no" but says aloud "okay" and then wonders why.
Is he a hypnotist or something? Does she just a weak and fickle personality? Time will tell!

one of my fave things about spiders is how they walk. theyre so thoughful and melodical about every step and i think thats really cute. they pause when they're unsure and approach everything with this poise about them.
from the perspective of my engineering degree, its also really cool how they move their legs using hydraulics of their own haemolymph (bug blood).
they also have little toe beans. thats also great.
hehehghsh look at them

Barlowe's Guide to Extraterrestrials (1979) is a fun little book that looks at aliens from a variety of science fiction stories through the (slightly) in-universe framing of a field guide, complete with notes on ecology and biological functions.
Artist Wayne Barlowe’s selections are an interesting cross-section of the genre (I don’t recognize a lot of them, honestly) and his interpretations (of the ones I do recognize) always walk the fine line between capturing something essential that I pictured in my mind’s eye while also being surprising or unexpected in many ways. Among the beasties I did not photograph are the Overlords from Childhood’s End, the Puppeteers from Ringworld, the Izchel from Wrinkle in Time, the Masters from the Tripod books and Ursula Le Guin’s Athshean.
In a way, the Guide feels like an extension of the larger interest in fantastic art in the ‘70s, embodied most in the Gnomes, Fairies and Giants books. It, and its Fantasy companion (see tomorrow) certainly wouldn’t come out today, but for me, they’re just amazing. They gave Barlowe a whole book to draw monsters and aliens; monster and alien enthusiasts like me got a pile of rad illustrations to look at; and a stack of sci fi writers got low-key advertising for their works. Wins down the line.
Worth mentioning that this is likely a direct inspiration for Call of Cthulhu’s pair of Petersen’s Field Guides (Cthulhu Monsters and Dreamlands), right down to little nuances of layout formatting. I would bet that they were also on someone’s mind when the Ecology articles began to appear in Dragon Magazine (those started in ’83 with the Piercer).

Happy Earth Day!
Have you ever seen a sea otter? Why are they so stupid cute?
This design is from last year's charity campaign with @thestitcherscollective. I later updated it to have more fun options! If you slide through the images, you can see the sea otter holding a starfish, a Pride heart, a book, a baby otter, and a skull (that is not from the baby otter).
Find this design in my shop! It's quick and fun to stitch on your favorite watery colored fabric.
