Sunday Funnies: Hawk v. Fish

Hawk: This past Friday, when candidates for local office went around banging on the doors of potential voters, they each picked a number, N, and then hit the door exactly N times for every voter. So weird. How does Fish explain this to the Hawk?

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 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.
