Friday Funnies: Hawk v. Fish (Taste of Bloomington edition)
It's a special edition of Sunday Funnies ... on Friday, because Taste of Bloomington is on Saturday! This comic gives you the combination of food and local political drama that everyone is craving! Why did the city councilmembers have to settle for walking the chicken over Kirkwood Avenue?
According to organizer Jordan Davis, Taste of Bloomington is still on for Saturday, Aug. 1 from 3 p.m. to 10 p.m. despite some rain in the forecast.
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.
