Today’s edition is actually no joke. It’s a fundraiser for Mother Hubbard’s Cupboard.

Hawk v. Fish Episode #102 (Nov. 15, 2026) This edition is no joke. Maybe just idea of a bunch of folks pedaling around racing to collect food for Mother Hubbard’s Cupboard is enough to make you want to contribute some cash to the Hub.

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.
