it’ll get here eventually…

for all of us…

Wait until 2029 or 2036…

It can be really difficult to find a new purpose and direction in one’s life.

2029 is when asteroid Apophis passes within 30,000 km of Earth, with a miniscule possibility of it going through a 400 m wide “keyhole” that will put it on a course to collide with Earth in 2036.

The second panel, is even more depressing, depending on context.

Hey, never throw a good sign away. That’s a recurrent schtick!

Sigh. Every 5,126 years it’s the same old thing. Get out the chisels and cut a new calender. misQuote from ‘Free Range’ cartoon.

“it’ll get here eventually…

for all of us…".Speak for yourself.

The sign is doubly right – that’s an S. Clay Wilson pirate holding it.

Tatulli had this cartoon standing by just in case.

Check back in some 4 – 4.5 billion years. Of course, humans will be long gone by then.

Are there any ancient mayans left (not their decendants)? The prophecy worked for them!

@ Dogsniff its Kohutek – literally means little rooster

The end won’t come in one day. That’s wishful thinking. We’re in for a long, gruesome death.

Yes it is.

Rolling my eyes at people who think scientists get into it for the money, given the general state of funding…

Yep.. until when you least expect.

I want to find someone who spent a fortune on getting ready for the end of the world and laugh at them

What happens will happen but we can all help make it “not so bad”. Whether you believe in global warming or not, using less CO2 producing fuels can do no harm and might even make things better.

The 12/12/12 bullshit was almost as much fun as the Y2K paranoia.
