Close to Home by John McPherson for May 27, 2020

Trying to find a parking space in the city downtown. I could see this working.

Weird positioning of her arm.

When Google Earth becomes this granular and real time you know that contact tracing has your nailed.

If Google Earth were in real time.

Still fun to find a train caught in transit.

I wish it worked that well.

Why do cartoonists think that Google Earth is real-time? It’d been better if he said that he’d hacked into the city’s CCTV system.

Fake fire hydrant works the best.

Must have a different version of Google Earth to me, image date of my area is 2018 and street view is 2009.

Pretty much exactly the reason I want a car with a drone accessory. Another cool feature would be to see what the heck is holding up traffic.

But it’s 6 months old.

Too bad Googles mapping is 3 to 5 years old.

“…there on the right side, between that black Chevy and the grey Honda…ooh look, a quarter!” (What can I say, it’s a rerun)

We can’t. Google can. They can technically take real-time photos. They only update once in a while online to keep suspicions low. What’s more dangerous is how they track us online.

really sitting close to the wheel…..and windshield

These comics always brighten my day. His capturing of certain expressions on people is priceless.

That’s everyone on the day NYC opens up again

Left side??? There are cars parked on BOTH sides, so which is left. It should have been east, west, north, or south.

Actually Google Earth images are still shots taken many months ago.

Even the military depends on aerial drones for that kind of intel.

This doesn’t work when you know that all the photographs in Google Earth are at least 18 months old.

I wish Google would update their information in my area, so they’ll stop sending drivers to a gate that’s exit only.
