I made another weird little comic thing, hopeful and a little bittersweet, about conservation after the apocalypse. A topic near and dear to my heart, Lord knows. (Technical notes in another thread, linked at the end.)

@travismcelroy The Midnight Library by Matt Haig. For a snack, I'd recommend the Judge Dee short stories on https://t.co/3PMtN2x6Zz - vampire detective and his long-suffering human familiar.
