*** One of my favorite comics because I *always* wanted to combine the awesome Highlights comics with ours. Codex did a great job on this because I gave her a list of prompts and she put it together, visually. Original run date was Sept 2016. ***

On 10 March 1972, America launched the Pioneer 10 spacecraft with a gold-anodized aluminum plaque, measuring 9″ x 6″. The plaque told any aliens finding the probe about our knowledge of Hydrogen, what we looked like, and, conveniently, on which planet they could hunt us. Continue reading

Day One of our hiatus was a total success! We cleaned out our freezers. It had to be done. We’d stocked up at the beginning of the pandemic madness, had been cycling through the contents, but realized that some serious reorganization was needed.

Serendipitously, I happened to stumble across this.
It’s a hamburger. It only costs $6000. Yes, I double-checked the number of zeros. Yes, that’s real gold dust encrusting the bun. I assume Bethel Church had a sale. Continue reading

I recently concluded that we’ve taken the completely wrong approach to our financial life. That was nine hours ago. We’re now gourmet pastry chefs.
Research has been conducted. Techniques have been practiced. Orders have been placed.

So far I’m failing the daily challenge, but I’m winning at renewing my love of drawing for fun. See the original challenge at Cedar Sanderson’s blog (and do check out her books: like Lab Gremlins. It too, is made of win.)
So from Wednesday: Snapdragon (above), then Cat Accountants, which for some reason I wrote down as Owl Bits (??), Anteater (Nope), Trilobyte, Death, Beehive & Claymore.
