Dark Side of the Horse by Samson for October 27, 2018

and it is going, going, gone!

I’m beginning to suspect that Horace’s home planet orbits a white, A-type star (like Altair, Sirius A, or Vega), or a white, G-type star (like our Sun and Alpha Centauri A), which may lie in the constellation of Pegasus, or perhaps Equuleus, and:

Every now and then, Samson seems to neglect to color the Sun yellow, but leaves it white, thus exposing this apparent secret about Horace’s, Melody’s, and Sine’s home world… :-) Such white sunlight should enhance the darkness of Horace’s black coat, just as we see it in the strip. (G-type dwarf stars at the upper end of their class, like our Sun, are actually white; our Sun only appears yellow to us because of the effects of our atmosphere. Lower-mass G-type stars [and “upper-end” K-type dwarf stars, in the “next class down” from our Sun’s], are actually yellow.)

On your mark.. get set.. nap.

What a lovely sunset.

Or…is that a rebirth and rising of our former president here in Finland? Anyone?

If it were done when ’tis done, then ’twere wellIt were done quickly.
