Sunday Funnies: Hawk v. Fish

Fish shows he’s oh so fancy by using an umlaut in his street name suggestion. Because nothing says you’re smart and sophisticated better than two dots over a letter!

Sunday Funnies: Hawk v. Fish
Hawk v. Fish Episode #79 (Sept. 13, 2026)
Hawk v. Fish Episode #79 (Sept. 13, 2026) The City of Bloomington is asking the public to suggest names of two new streets in the Hopewell South neighborhood using an online form.

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.
