Today’s cartoon, by Brendan Loper:

A drawing that riffs on Botticelli’s “The Birth of Venus.” In this version, Venus is presented with a bright-orange tube of sunscreen, instead of a cloak, as she emerges from the water, nude, on her shell.

“If you’re getting out of the water, you need to reapply.”
