Jan Kocian's Cartoons
Jan Kocian, while sending spectacular photos of opisthobranchs from the Washington region of the northeast Pacific has been accompanying many of his messages with humorous cartoons. I haven't had room to include them with his messages so I am posting them separately so you can all share his quirky sense of humour. I will include a link, where relevant, to the original message. See also Jan's message #14867 concerning Melibe leonina being stung by sea anemones, and #15247 on hitchhikers.
The lower cartoon here accompanied a thank you note Jan sent me. The slug on the keyboard is Phyllidiella rudmani.

Here are two more of Jan Kocian's art works. The topic is feeding in Melibe leonina [see messages #15431; #14953].
The lower one in particular suggests photographing them close up could be hazardous.
