Big Top by Rob Harrell for August 06, 2012

For the life of me, I can’t think of anything appropriate for both the event and for the comic, save for banana splits made to order. Some other kind soul will have to make the breakfast menu…

Good Morning TRIBE! I hope the landing goes well. I can think of one for the comic, Sloppy Joe’s. For the event some kinda surprise recipe, Alain, I hope it helps.

May those forces be with you.

Well in honor of the new comic, I post the following:

In order to celebrate Curiosiy I’ve made a large vat of Tang for everyone’s breakfast! (I hope some will understand the meaning of this.)

Good Morning Alain!

Good Morning happyathome – Good photo!

Chocolate Banana Cream Pie…………and DWFNC come to mind…..:))))

Watched the landing celebration last night of an incredible accomplishment!!!! Can’t wait to hear and see all the reports Curiosity comes up with. Check out Thom’s Birdbrains today for his twist on the landing.

Good Morning Doc and Montana Lady!

I also watched the Curiosity event from NASA’s web site last night. I wasn’t sure my tablet could show it (I use it from bed) but it worked fine.

Good Morning Jkiss – I’d be able to use that excuse more often but my typing mistakes go all over the keyboard.

The first photo from Curiosity has come back!

Sojo, I most certainly do remember the connection between Tang & NASA. That goes back to the 70’s at least – if not the 60’s.

Hi Molly, Grog and Jkiss!

After searching for awhile I found this ad for 1959. It looks like that’s when Tang came out.Tang Breakfast Drink 1959 Ad. This color September 15, 1959 ad states Wake up to Tang. New breakfast drink discovery with more Vitamin C than orange juice.

Alain – Thinking about it has brought back a lot of memories to me. I remember when it first came out but was having a hard time with when. I thought it must if been in the late 50’s or shortly therafter. After you posted I decided to try again to find out when and did another search on the web. Following is what I found in less then a minute. One just has to know how to phrase what you’re looking for, which in this case wasn’t easy.

Tang is a fruit-flavored drink. Originally formulated by General Foods Corporation food scientist William A. Mitchell in 1957, it was first marketed in powdered form in 1959.

Sales of Tang were poor until NASA used it on John Glenn’s Mercury flight (1962), and subsequent Gemini missions.

Hi Saucy – Great thinking!

Sojo, have you seen the new strip by Berger & Wyse?

Grog – No but I’ll check it out in a bit, right now I’m printing some things.

Grog – I can see why you would get hungry for bacon when looking at that! :-)

Good night, Sojo
