    Good Morning, all you Birdbrainiacs…………

    This can’t be a “retro” Thom cartoon……………this is too real, and is happening right now!!!!

    And, sorry, Lew, the only face I see is that sad sack near the bottom right……

    Have a Happy Sunday, everyone!

    Built by the lowest bidder.

    NASA’s main purpose now is to film self esteem flix for Muslim 3rd world countries. Remember how America felt when JFK promised us the moon in a decade?

    ML Because the cartoon is cropped you can’t see the faces propelling the rocket to places no man has gone to before.

    Space seems to be a major Thom theme this week.

    Yup, very appropriate given the dismantling of the shuttle program. And Houston doesn even get one of the shuttles. What a slap in the face to the people of of Houston.

    Love the art, Thom

    Darker area in the upper right corner with the triangle of stars. More of a bust than a mere face.

    Ross Perot was right, “That great sucking sound you hear…”

    Sorry, Houston is in Tejas, and they elected a governor that wants to secede. And all those NASA rocket scientists are a bunch of far left socialist climate change scare mongers, like the commoniss at EPA. Paul Ryan and Inhofe and that looney tune congressman Barton from Texas all say so, so it must be true.

    Grog- from what I’ve heard, they went to those willing to put up $$$. Naturally we’d wish they went to the symbolic places, but instead have gone wherever people expect to exploit them. Follow the money!

    The poor guy on the right is pointing out that his air hose is loose. What’s all that stuff flying off them? I love the bug eyes of the one on the left.

    Fantastic art Thom!
