Hate to burst everyone’s feel-good bubble about our “Smiling Sun,” but the truth is when the sun shows this much activity it can cause major problems on Earth. Severe geomagnetic storms can cause power outages by damaging the electrical grid. The last of these to heavily impact Earth was the 1859 Carrington Event, which sparked fires at multiple telegraph stations. A similar event in the 2020s could completely disrupt our technical society.

Brewster ain’t too bright. He doesn’t exactly radiate intelligence. His brain is in a constant total eclipse.

I’m surprized Brewster has the vocabulary to make puns.
Durak Premium Member about 2 years ago
To be honest I didn’t think Brewster was clever enough to pun.

Didn’t you read the sign on the door? Or do we need a repeat of the Uranus joke incident?

This comic is punny.

He was smiling because we usually pay attention to the other end of the solar system. For some reason, our astronomers are fascinated with Uranus.

Brewster may be a bit dim, but he does have a good pun sense.

Remember, a pun is the lowest form of humor if someone else thinks of it before you do.

It’s amazing how much that Smile improves the Sun’s appearance.
Why it looks a couple Billion years younger.
