A photo of a game of "Fang den Hut" in progress is the feature image for a Wikipedia article about Boris Johnson. The purpose of the game is to steal your opponent's hats, so read into that what you will.
A photo of blonde bombshell Jayne Mansfield, radient and smiling, is the feature image of a Wikipedia article for John Travolta, who definitely looks nothing like Mansfield.
A portrait photo of Patrick Schwarzenegger is amusingly but accidentally the feature image for a Wikipedia article about United States presidential pets.
A homemade cardboard protest sign reading "get in closer, we're going to not be complicit in Genocide", after a quote spoken by the character Regina George in the movie Mean Girls. We see a photo of Regina in her convertible car and a Palestinian flag.
Three books on a glass table: Flash Studio Secrets by Glenn Thomas, The Art of 3-D Computer Animation and Imaging by Isaac Victor Kerlow, and Creating Motion Graphics with After Effects by Trish and Chris Meyer.
An ink drawing of a bonsai tree on top of a stack of books. The bonsai is ina shallow rectangular pot, and curves gracefully to our left, with a single, delicate branch balancing the tree's silhouette to the right. We can see the spine of the book at the top of the stack: its The Thorn Birds.
A cartoon depicting "things my dog has tried to eat off the street on our neighbourhood walks". Top right we see Henry, a beagle mix with a bright yellow halo (because he is an angel). Below are five boxes depicting the foods, each with labels: uncooked rice, a loaf of bread (still in the bag), boiled potatoes, a whole pizza, a half-eaten lobster.
Henry the beagle cross walks nose-to-the-ground along a beach on a sunny afternoon, the Melbourne skyline in the distance.
A rough sketch of a beagle lounging casually, being interviewed by an unseen person holding a microphone. The interviewer asks, "so why did you decide to eat your own shit?". The dog responds, "well, my dad is always going on about 'zero waste'... plus I was hungry, so..."
A four panel meme depicting a scene from Star Wars in which a young Anakin and Padme are having a conversation, with captions. Panel 1, Anakin: "I've added subtitles to make my content accessible." Panel 2, Padme, smiling brightly: "but not automatically generated ones right?" Panel 3, Anakin smirks. Panel 4, Padme, now more serious: "but not or tomato call he gem her eight it ones, write?"
Henry, a tan and white beagle mix, looks excited while waiting to vote. Placards for political parties, including the Greens and Labor, can be seen in the background.
Henry, a tan beagle cross, stares at us from the other side of a bed. Only the top of his head and dark eyes visible over the edge of the bed, and his tail is blurred from wagging.
A drawing of a "Puregin" action figure, which includes a smiling figure of the illustrator herself, Gin,wearing an aqua t shirt, cuffed pants and black flat shoes, dark red hair scruffy. The t shirt says "I love Wikipedia". Next to her is a figure of her dog Henry, a medium-sized beagle mix. Above Henry we see various accessories: glasses, a reusable coffee cup, a sketchbook and pens. Text inside a starburst reads "Feed her bread!". The drawing is a riff on a recent trend on social media to share AI-generated action figures of oneself.
An black ink illustration of a coiled python with a dark striped body and a lightly-shaded belly. The words Morelia Bredli, its scientific name, are above and below the snake.

Henry, a tan beagle mix, runs happily on a lawn towards us, mouth open as if smiling, floppy ears flopping.
Henry, a tan beagle cross, lazes on a mid century era chair in a cosy corner of a living room. His eyes are closed, and he looks content.
