The origin story for the image might make the cartoon a little funnier, if you're a reader who does not instantly recognize the fish.

On top of the historic Monroe County courthouse there is a weathervane featuring a metal fish crafted by blacksmith Austin Seward, which is called [Hoagy](https://web.archive.org/web/20250314175146/https://indianapublicmedia.org/news/bloomington-courthouse-fish-receives-an-official-name.php) as the result of a naming contest in 2018\. Sometimes, one of the red-tailed hawks that lives in downtown Bloomington will land on the fish. The art for the cartoon was made by applying a software filter to a photograph of that scene.

Are you tired of Hawk v. Fish? Imagine what it would be like to see a fresh cartoon every Sunday, drawn by a local Bloomington artist. Years ago, when I was running an online publication similar to The B Square, called The Ann Arbor Chronicle, we published a regular watercolor cartoon panel by Ann Arbor resident Alvey Jones, which was called [Bezonki](https://annarborchronicle.com/2013/12/01/sunday-funnies-bezonki-62/index.html?ref=bsquarebulletin.com). I would like very much to stretch the boundaries of what counts as a cartoon or a comic. If you are a Bloomington area artist, who could deliver a weekly or monthly cartoon, not necessarily like Bezonki, please reach out.
