Paul, the octopus

Spain won the World Cup and Paul, the octopus got it right again!

Created a few hours before the final match, this illustration shows my faith in Paul’s predictions, making it the focus of a piece about the global reach of the world cup fever. Had the Neatherlands won the match, Paul would have still been newsworthy and a good metaphor for the article, but accurately predicting all of Germany’s results plus the final match, made this common octopus living in a Sea Life Center in Oberhausen a star.

As Gémeas

As a kid, I would spend all my school recesses and lunch breaks quietly reading in a corner. (No, I wasn’t very popular with the other kids…). I used to spend the Summer holidays with my grandparents and Avó Lena would take me to the local library, where I ‘d pick some old classics from the children’s section, with the help of an even older librarian. Needless to say, I loved the Famous Five, the Secret Seven, and anything else by Enid Blyton but I particularly liked the O’Sulivan Twins - As Gémeas, in portuguese.
