Today’s incredibly cute animated Google Doodle (click on screenshot) features various animal fathers, including penguins, wolves, felids, and H. sapiens. (It’s also the winter solstice in the southern hemisphere, so if you live there you might get another Doodle.)
Artist Olivia Huynh describes the making of the doodle here.
On a completely unrelated note, Jerry’s appearance on The Infinite Monkey Cage will probably be broadcast on July 13. This tweet was on their Twitter page:

Coming to a radio wave near you: new series of monkey cage starts Monday July 6th with the first of 4 specials from USA. First stop NYC!
If they go in order, the Chicago show should be a week later. You will be able to listen to it here:

I like how the wolf pup falls over while trying to howl.
I think the felid is actually supposed to be a marmoset. Notice the moustache, and the group of young on the back, one of whom joins the group from above– all typically marmoset-ish.
Here in South Africa we got the same Fathers Day Google Doodle. And FINALLY,today I managed to buy the Kindle version of Faith vs Fact! It has only just been made available to us here.
The winter solstice was yesterday in NZ (it’s Monday here already), and Fathers’ Day is in September. Either way, we didn’t get a special doodle.
