   I asked that very question as a kid and was told the exact same thing. Did you drive a bus for Lake Worth Christian High School in the early Eighties? (-:

   Also, @divad27182 points out below that Merope, one of the Pleiades, had children with Sisyphus, so maybe this is how they met (-:

   This is convoluted, so stay with me here: This comic reminds me of the time Heracles, who was tasked with obtaining some Golden Apples as one of his Twelve Labors, offered to hold up the sky for Atlas so Atlas could retrieve the apples for him (his daughters, the Hesperides, tended the Garden). Naturally Atlas was in no hurry to take the sky back afterward, so Heracles asked him to take it back just long enough for him to put a pad underneath to make it more comfortable; Atlas did so, and Heracles said, “So long, sucker!” and booked it. So I wonder if Sisyphus is actually gonna come back. Anyway, the Pleiades are also daughters of Atlas.

   1: Sluggo is looking heart-eyed at a blonde girl, and Nancy thinks furiously, “Sluggo, I’ve had it! We’ve been in a situationship forever, but every few years you want to ask out some new character!”2: Nancy puts one hand on her hip as she continues, “Which causes ME to become very jealous, insecure, and hate her.”3: Nancy rubs her hands together in satisfaction: “Well, not THIS time, buddy!”4: Nancy calls out to the blonde as she runs after her, “Hey, Maggie! Wait up, let’s be friends!” leaving Sluggo to exclaim, “What?!”

   The comic won’t load for me; is anyone else having this problem?

   I would think parting the sea would’ve been sufficient on its own.

   That doesn’t sound much like a rocket; it should be more of a “Vroooom!”

   When I wondered what a slingshot gravity assist would feel like this isn’t what I had in mind!

    Don’t call yourself “old.” Think of yourself as having “successfully aged.”
