Psalter World Map, Circa 1265
In the first century A.D., Pliny the Elder recounted in his Natural History that Africa was full of remarkable tribes, including “the Nigroe, whose King hath but one eye,” “the Cynamolgi, who have Heads like Dogs,” and “the Artabatitae, who wander about like four-footed savage beasts.” These mutant races were dutifully included on maps of Africa for more than 1,000 years, though no one had ever seen them. This anonymous cartographer lined up their kingdoms neatly between the Nile, at top, and the green eastern sea, at bottom.

My little brother got into outer space and stuff so my step-mom bought him a place mat with all the planets on it. When I first saw it, I was upset, because it was newer and so Pluto wasn’t labeled. I was about to say something when I noticed something…

Pluto is there.

The artist remembered Pluto.

Guys…

The artist drew Pluto crying.
