A headline is designed to convey the gist of a story, and also entice a reader to want more information. But sometimes the headlines themselves can inspire the imagination. We asked our resident cartoonist and Contributing Art Director, Tom Dunne, to take a look at recent headlines from Sigma Xi’s SmartBrief, a daily newsletter that rounds up science news stories from many publications. Tom then created some off-the-cuff doodles, based solely on the headlines. Here are some of our collective favorites:
Note: The headlines are based off of Sigma Xi's SmartBrief, not from the source article headlines.
