It is funny how Gary Larson went from a niche cartoon that you would find on mostly biology people’s noticeboards to widely popular meme fodder. He was in the 2020s back in the 1990s? Or the nerds took over? Or… both?

Maybe specifically a false memory, but I think I asked dad to explain Cow Tools. Some other Larson cartoons for sure.

@aleksi This stuff is afaik not very known outside of Scandinavia. Fantagraphics should do a ”best of Jan Lööf” book for the Anglosphere.

@aleksi Both look very familiar!

@aleksi Something slightly Jan Lööf-ish as well! The somewhat doll-like nature of all the characters.

Unfair / biology:
Me and my partner at the same time in the allotment garden, both wearing T-shirt and shorts.
I get tens of bites on my legs from mosquitoes, gnats and midges, that itch for days. She gets one tiny little red spot.

Very odd InDesign/PDF bug:

Font rendering incorrectly in an interactive PDF, but only in Chrome.

Previous PDFs exported from the same file render correctly. Only obvious difference is that the faulty file is PDF version 1.7. and the other 1.5.

You can’t choose the PDF version in Interactive PDF export. However, this was fixed simply by re-saving the PDF in Acrobat (no need to change version). So something tiny is broken in InDesign’s 1.7 pipeline and not in Acrobat’s.

@frankrolf as of yet unpublished client work, but let’s see if I can create a clean demo…

@frankrolf this becomes stranger – tried to make a new file, no issue. Tried to make a new file from the affected file (deleted all but one page), also no issue! Nor when making single-page exports of the affected InDesign document.

New factoid. F1 cars are ridiculously un-aerodynamic (some sleek modern production EV:s get a Cd of 0.22):

"Interestingly, modern F1cars are reported to have Cd values of about 0.85 with corresponding CdA[m2] values near 1.2.1. These values are approximately triple of those for the modern road car, and only a bit higher then typical bus."
