Pre-octopied

I posted this on October 5.

A day & a half later, Dave Gilson of Mother Jones posted this on the magazine’s website & Tumblr, no doubt inspired by and drawing from my own remarkable insight.

Of course, Molly Crabapple posted this a week ago. And unlike us Google-trawling plagiarists, she actually drew it herself.

So she wins, I guess.

(Unless, of course, in this age of post-Napster ethics, you agree with David Shields and think we all win.)
