Sumptious savouries
I’m certainly no expert on the subject but cheese is a huge favourite of mine. Aside from the eating experience there is much to like visually about cheese. I love the range of colours, particularly the pastel oranges of many of the English varieties and the suitably milky whites and creams of the softer French cheeses. Then there are the wonderful textures from hard marble-like slabs to soft, crumbly drifts and flakes to dripping, glistening ooze. The delicate cobwebby threads of brilliant green-blue mould woven throughout blue cheeses – mouthwatering fungal artistry.

Cheesey comic links:
Some journal comics from Lucy Knisely about working in a cheese shop (possibly my dream job): 1, 2
Evan Dorkin’s Milk and Cheese vs The Furries. Witness the true power of dairy products.
