Hello! My name is Melissa – I’m an artist, writer, and cartoonist based out of Toronto, Canada. I’m interested in art, the environment and conservation, philosophy, and in the world we live in of course! Oh, and quantum mechanics is kinda cool too…
So, what’s this blog about? Well basically, it’s about two little characters who explore real world questions around science & environment, social psychology, and philosophy – Simon & Finn. There’s also a third character – Ernie – who galivants about and finds himself in philosophical dilemmas of some sort, usually in illustrated story form.
New Simon & Finn cartoon posts are published at most once a week. To receive posts, hit follow via email on the homepage. Spam free, I swear!
Feel free to contact me any time with blog ideas, suggestions, corrections, or anything at all really, I’d be happy to hear from you! simonandfinn (at) gmail.com

Thanks Melissa. I very, very rarely read blogs from end-to-end, so I am a happy believer in quantum explorations with funny bits especially the third sentence, paragraph three on page thirty-three.
Hi John, I’m so glad you enjoyed the blog posts!! There are quite a few on here now, I’m impressed that you read so many – you have a good attention span.
As to 3, 3, and 33… now I’m intrigued… this sounds very like a Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy reference.. please enlighten me when you get a chance!
As 4 the 3′s, I was wondering myself – great significance is implied. A clue is in the numerological function, I think?!? 3×4=12 ### 1+2=3 ###?! #3 is a very powerful #
