Off the Mark by Mark Parisi for March 10, 2023

We wear shorts in space. If you dare wear shorts in space, we wear shorts in space.

His legs must be cold.

Back in my hometown, there was a UPS driver who wore shorts all year ’round. Even when the temperature hit -30°C for a week in winter. (-22°F)

In reality he’d dies terrible death in space with skin exposed like that to vaccuum.

ugh… tell me about it

cargo shorts are sooo 2007

and don’t even get me started on that color

HELL-LO?!

Won’t last long. Thankfully.

Looks like he waxes his legs.

One micro meteorite. Not a comic Band-aid big enough. It might need a comically large Ace Space Bandage Wrap.

Woops! Sorry. Probably an offensive micro aggression.

Why haven’t his legs exploded?

This cartoon could also have “played” 60 years ago, except back then, the astronauts would all be male.

He’s just waiting for you to try and take a selfie…

UPS delivery

He heard they were making a short cargo run to the ISS, and he got confused.

Didn’t we see him last time we were on a mission?

Must be from Hawai`i. Shorts are the norm.

C’mon, he’s just waving to his mom…

Reminds me of the idiots who walk around here during the winter wearing a hat, gloves, winter coat, winter boots, and…shorts

There’s no such thing as casual Friday on the International Space Station.

Ralph from the Simpsons?
