In this installment of The Timid Soul, look at those shadows. Caspar's shadow... the squirrel's shadow... the shadows of the cage bars... the shadow of the tree branch on the cage floor... you can even see the peanut.

FrumpleOrz posted:Brewster Rockit Space Guy Sagittarius B2 posted:The cloud is composed of various kinds of complex molecules, of particular interest: alcohol. The cloud contains ethanol, vinyl alcohol, and methanol. This is due to the conglomeration of atoms resulting in new molecules. The composition was discovered via spectrograph in an attempt to discover amino acids. An ester, ethyl formate, was also discovered, which is a major precursor to amino acids. This ester is also responsible for the flavour of raspberries,[8] leading some articles on Sagittarius B2 to describe the cloud as ‘raspberry rum’.[9][10] 55 Cancri e posted:An alternative possibility is that 55 Cancri e is a solid planet made of carbon-rich material rather than the oxygen-rich material that makes up the terrestrial planets in the Solar System.[19] In this case, roughly a third of the planet's mass would be carbon, much of which may be in the form of diamond as a result of the temperatures and pressures in the planet's interior. Further observations are necessary to confirm the nature of the planet.[5][6] 1WASP J1407b posted:J1407b is the first exoplanet or brown dwarf discovered with a ring system by the transit method. (...) The J1407b ring system has an outer radius of approximately 90 million km (about 640 times the extent of Saturn’s rings).[12] Cleared gaps in the rings indicate satellites (“exomoons”) have formed accreted from denser rings. The young age of the stellar system (about 16 million years) and the high mass of the ring system (roughly an Earth mass) are more consistent with it being an early (proto-)exomoon or moons, rather than a long-term stable ring system in an evolved planetary system (such as Saturn's rings). HD 189337 b posted:The winds, composed of silicate particles, blow up to 8700 km/h (5400 mp/h, 2 km/s and Mach 7). Observations of this planet have also found evidence that it rains molten glass.[34] WASP-76b posted:In March 2020, it was speculated the temperature on the planet could reach 2,400 °C (2,670 K) on the hot side, hot enough to vaporize neutral iron. If the night side of WASP-76b had temperatures down to at least 1,400 °C (1,670 K), the iron may condense then rain down as hot liquid iron on its surface.[6]

I'm super stressed and busy with dissertation stuff so here's a sneaky middle-of-the-knight DtWOF. It's a really, really funny one, too. Dykes to Watch Out For #117 (1991)  I hope I will have time to post another tomorrow and then on Tuesday things should slow down a little. Sorry for the skimpy post.

Rhymes with Orange Get Fuzzy 11/15/00  Brenda Starr 5/7/44  The SPARs were a female Coast Guard reserve unit in the style of the WACs (Army) or WAVEs (Navy). Didn't know they went around requisitioning civilian apartments, though. Smokey Stover 11/21-23/38    Wakeup Call of Adventure  Richard's Poor Almanac  The DC Metro is relatively deep underground (rather than right under the street like the NYC subway). There are lots of escalators, some of them ridiculously long; the Wheaton Metro escalator, not far from me, is the longest escalator in the western hemisphere and takes almost three minutes to ride. So DC locals love to complain about idiot tourists who have not grasped the concept of "stand on the right, walk on the left."

Surgeon's Tales  After this the comic skips a few chapters. There's a pretty nice scene with Gustav Bertelsköld spending time with his sister and Eva Rhenfelt. The women try to make him stay in Sweden, but in the end he decides that his place is on the battlefields. Karl XII finally returns to Sweden. In a short scene Torsten fools the other politicians to think that the king has been captured and they start to introduce their plans to seize the control from the royalty, but soon find out that the news were not true.

I've done my share of metro sprinting but always on the stairs because the stairs are always empty and I'm scared of trying on the escalator. We'll see if my outlook on that changes when I hit forty.

Personally I'm more struck at how Kevin takes a loan for what as far as I can tell is an incredibly petty personal reason and the solution to his poor financial judgment is to just murder the people he owes money too.

Kennel posted:Mandrake I just wanted to mention, I was kind of surprised that Defenders of the Earth cartoon intro that was posted had Lothar in a leading role, given that he's actually technically a sidekick. But it is kind of funny to think that between Mandrake and Lothar, strictly speaking Lothar has the most marketable abilities since Mandrake's competence hinges entirely on people not knowing that everything that he does is just illusions.

I also like Cathy. I was hesitant to admit it because I'm old enough to remember when it was still in newspapers but I was just a dumb kid back then and as far as this early stuff goes at least I find it oddly relatable in spite of the fact that I'm not a woman.

The linework in these old Cathy strips has a terribly anxious quality to it, like what you'd see in experimental animation from around that time, and I really enjoy it. As long as I'm posting appreciation: I love that a minigolf course is at the center of a Mark Trail story, and I think the way Rex Morgan is telling low-key and relatable pandemic stories has been pretty good.

Combining this with yesterday's, we can infer that Dustin arrived a minute or two late for his poorly planned double shift that the first manager assigned him, then by the end was too exhausted to be "competent" when the district manager showed up for 30 seconds to collect all the money. A very realistic depiction of how hard work is rewarded

How Wonderful! posted:I'm super stressed and busy with dissertation stuff so here's a sneaky middle-of-the-knight DtWOF. It's a really, really funny one, too. "Skimpy". I see what you did there. Note the layered closing joke - Lois almost walking out with a tag attached would be a joke, but the real joke is Lois misinterpreting Ginger's comment - or maybe she isn't and is needling Ginger a bit more? Which would be a 3rd layer, if it was actually intended.
