Who’s going to change that diaper?

That’s one YUGE nappy!!!

/SHMIRK/

If SpaceX-nauts have to wear them, why not planets?

And it made a boom boom.

2M0437b is quite large, hot, and distant from its parent star — that’s how astronomers were able to take a picture of despite it being 417 light-years away. The distance between it and its star is about 2.5 times the distance from Pluto to our Sun.

I wonder if Earth has a mask on?

Whatever they fed it is burning a hole in the back of the diaper.

Feel bad for astronauts that have to change that diaper

More than the usual number of asteroids, I’ll wager…

Keep that ’scope focused on it, Doc. Sooner or later, some monstrous old planet has to come along and change that diaper.

Just have to tip the hat to Tim Rickard for a strip that always strikes a perfect balance between being humorous and educational and somehow always doing it perfectly “G”-rated.

I think this is one of the few times Winky has appeared in the strip without receiving any spleen damage.

Earth could use one of them.

Cue the Uranus joke.

What nasty comment, I am deeply offended.

That’s the second largest safety pin I’ve seen this week.

What an infantile gag!

It’s really Tough keeping the diaper up on a baby when they don’t have Hips.

Wow … I wonder what Celestial Dr. attended the birth? … ;)
