The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for March 27, 2019

Is that Major Tom?

They should have just gone at night…

At least they don’t have to put it where the sun don’t shine.

Gonna be doing the Solar Shuffle. BTW, I don’t think astronauts wear glasses.

That’s one small step for WHOOSH….

Ya know, ya coulda taken a big Vitamin D capsule, instead.

Icarus too.

They’re trying to show their dark side.

Really BRIGHT !

I think they might find it too hot to handle!

I hope Pence doesn’t see this. It will give him ideas.

Either way, they’re certainly going to be hotter than Armstrong and Aldrin.

Set the controls for the heart of the Sun.

If you mean some of you will be part of next weeks aurora, you’re right.

Crispier at any rate . . .

Not a very bright idea.

That’s gonna be a flash news story, hot off the presses. But they’ve forgotten to consider the gravity of the situation and that could lead to a crushing defeat.

These two turkeys are basting themselves prior to roasting.

It took them 6 to 8 years to arrive…

How close do you need to be to the Sun to get instantly vaporized?

They could have used that on the Mayflower shuttle.

Not to worry. I’m sure it’s not as hot as it looks.

But if the offer’s shunned you might as well be walking on the sun.

Their future is so bright,they have to wear shades ;)

Forget the Sunblock. From the looks of it, you’re going to need to work on a stronger anti-perspirant!

I don’t think they have a flare for this.

No, no! Go at NIGHT!!!

Everyone wants to outshine those who came before them.

♫Then we’ll be walkin’ on sunshine ♫…

Don’t forget to coat the outside of the space capsule.

Bigger than who?

The Chromosphere is hotter than the Sun’s surface. Should cook you both right enough.
