Close to Home by John McPherson for November 10, 2020

Would like to see the look on the operator face when you tell them the moon is falling apart.

That scene makes no sense. The moon is a sphere, never a crescent. It only appears to be a crescent when the rest of it is in shadow. Also, pieces of it wouldn’t “fall”. They would stay in orbit.

More proof that we are living in a computer simulation.

“I think Bleeb spiked my wine!”

The 1990’s Outer Limits – Inconstant Moon comes to mind

Koro-sensei struck again! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassination_Classroom

“I’m cracking up! I’ve got a crick in my neck!”

Yes, operator? I think the acid I just took was bad.

“911…what’s your emergency?”

Caller: “My moon has a crack!”

“Right buddy! Next you’ll be asking me if my refrigerator is running or if I have that Prince guy in a can. EVERY MOON HAS A CRACK! If you call again we will send the police to find you.”

Our cartoonist used tempura again.

Perhaps it is a reference to the old Copernican system of crystal spheres.

Just the Truman show.

I see a crack in that “moon”.

Why worry. It’s only a paper moon.

Run, Bleeb! Run fast, run far…

Moon over Miami after election results?

So the moon sees the earth and is cracking up. I have the same issue watching puppies.

Crack! Must be a plumber’s moon.

It’s just a phase.

“Quick Becky, this might be the last time we can “you know”

I don’t get it.

Bleeb is laughing his butt off, he used an old David Copperfield trick, the real moon way off to the left.

I suppose that would constitute an emergency…less for those in the Mtns.

“9-1-1, what’s your emergency?”

“Umm, I really didn’t know who I should call about this and I’m not sure you’re gonna believe me, but the moon has just crumbled and it appears to be falling from… space!? Kinda like it’s been blown up by… maybe aliens… or sump’n… I don’t know!?

“And that’s not all… my wife and I are renting this chalet overlooking the mountains and there’s a weird little yellow alien bug looking thing just staring at me from the window and it’s… oop, never mind… my wife just stepped on it.”

“WOW! WOWIE WOW, WOW, now sump’n really stinks and… I think we’re being invaded by alien stink bugs and…”

“Listen to me, sir… this is an emergency line, and it’s illegal to prank call a … WHOA! HOLY MOTHER OF ALL THAT IS GOOD AND PURE! I can actually smell that over the phone! I’m dispatching HAZMAT right away, sir!

Sir? Sir? Hello?

Maybe it’s trying to say, what else can go wrong this year?

Bleeb is thinking this might be a good time to go home.

“Our honeymoon isn’t all it was cracked up to be’”

Bleeb’s making a run for it and looking scared. This could be serious.

Someone call Teaser and the Firecat.

Based on the east (left) side of the Moon being illuminated, this must be right before dawn. That couple needs to call it a night. Bleeb as well.

You see the moon crumble, you go to Church and pray for your immortal soul….

come on , its a comic!

Crack on, crack on harvest moon….
