New Comic Alert: Unearthed Comics by Sara Zimmerman
by Caleb GoellnerWe tend to think of celestial bodies -- including the beautiful, water-covered rock we call home -- as profound, stoic pieces of a majestic revolving system that defies human comprehension. Turns out that the sun, the moon and even Mother Earth herself are just like you and me... only far less vulnerable to the cold vacuum of space.
That's the premise of Sara Zimmerman's Unearthed Comics, where space is a family dealing with everything from holiday stress to parental learning curves to coffee overconsumption.
Zimmerman's insights into the human condition pop with planetary aplomb via cosmic (and cute) iconography. It's the special kind of relatable you wouldn't expect from, say, Saturn, but it works.
Unearthed Comics is now spinning through space, with Monday and Wednesday updates you can set your sundial to. You can dig in and unearth a new favorite today.

Wow, just when I thought Saturday-morning cartoons back in my time had limited art, now comes this. I rate that right up there with Daddy’s Home.

They can’t all be “the best” for some people!

IT looked promising, the planets and stars being used to represent human issues, but today’s comment was that old joke of the elementary school kid(s) offering smart phone advice. Pass.
