Lola, the cartoonist's companion
Posted by Callan
It’s been a while since I’ve posted any photos of my supremely helpful cat Lola on the blog, so here you go:
Lola loves to sit on paper, so when I break out the sketchbook to start working on my monthly cartoon for EARTH magazine, she sidles right up and stakes a claim. Fortunately, I was able to continue working in this case, as she wasn’t perched on the “active area” of the paper.
As you may be able to discern, the cartoon is about the newly-fraught relationship between geologists and the law… watch for it in December’s issue of EARTH.
Callan Bentley is an assistant professor of geology at Northern Virginia Community College in Annandale, Virginia.

Cats love to sit ON the keyboard or ON your paper because you are typing about or drawing them, aren’t you? Well, aren’t you? Gorgeous kitty.
