Life under the water: there is somebody intelligent there below | Jim Toomey | TEDxCannes

In the world of cartoons, animals walk and talk and act like humans. Jim Toomey provides a cartoonist’s perspective on animal intelligence and how in many ways it might be superior to our own. In particular, he talks about the ocean animals he features in his comic strip and what makes them interesting to him as a storyteller and artist.

Dans le monde des dessins animés, les animaux marchent, s’expriment et agissent comme des humains. Jim Toomey nous offre une perspective sur l'intelligence animale : il nous montre comment, à bien des égards, cette intelligence pourrait être supérieure à la nôtre. Particulièrement, il nous parle des animaux marins qu'il représente dans sa bande dessinée et de ce qui les rend intéressants pour lui, en tant que conteur et artiste.
Jim Toomey is a award-winning cartoonist and film maker who draws the popular comic strip "Sherman’s Lagoon," which appears daily in over 200 newspapers, in 20 countries and six languages. The strip’s underwater theme explores environmental and social issues in a way that appeals to adults and children alike. He has given talks at a variety of venues, from his April 2010 TED Talk, to the Royal Society in London, to Harvard University.

I don't see why they're posting in such obnoxious quantities; is it a business decision? Bc posting as much as they are is a quick way to murder a YT channel's views

[@Potatoalex538]
