    Damn, quite a different drawing style from the usual. I guess, it helps make the animals actually look taxidermied, which I imagine is not easy.

      This is one of his newer comics, he started drawing them digitally and that’s why it looks differently:

      So a few years ago—finally fed up with my once-loyal but now reliably traitorous pen—I decided to try a digital tablet. I knew nothing about these devices but hoped it would just get me through my annual Christmas card ordeal. I got one, fired it up, and lo and behold, something totally unexpected happened: within moments, I was having fun drawing again. I was stunned at all the tools the thing offered, all the creative potential it contained. I simply had no idea how far these things had evolved. Perhaps fittingly, the first thing I drew was a caveman.

    It’s short for taximeter, because it measures (or “meters out”) the tax you’ll be paying per distance or time travelled.
