Space is dangerous and the Earth protects us from most of those dangers. The magnetic field and atmosphere protects life from almost all of the ionizing radiation, most of which expelled by the Run. We see the protection as the aurora borealis.

Keyboard Heatmap

A visualization of the frequency of character appearing in over a dozen classic English language novels on a QWERTY keyboard. I wrote a small php program to read the text of the novels (obtained from https://www.gutenberg.org/) to count each character included on the final keyboard and output those in JSON format for JavaScript to read and generate the graphic as HTML. I printed the page as a PDF and imported that into Inkscape.
Tyrannosaurus Rex

This comic combines two very popular subjects: dinosaurs, namely the famous T-Rex, and a quote from a beloved character from a science fiction space franchise.
Tree of Knowledge 2022

The fabled Tree of Knowledge from Genesis bore a fruit Adam and Eve were forbidden from eating. This comic replaces the fruit with unpopular things from our modern world, including lawyers, politicians, charging adapters, software updates, and the like.
The Important Elements

A comic for coffee lovers shows the most important elements on the periodic table and the molecular structure of the caffeine molecule.
CSS Colors from Hex Words

A nerd joke for web developers/programmers and web designers that routinely use Hex colors. There are a surprising number of English words you can create that are Hex colors.
JWST Stephan Quintet

The Stephan Quintet was one of the first images released by NASA following the extensive calibration and testing phase of the James Webb space telescope. It showed the impressive resolving power of the enormous primary mirror. This comics has a little fun with it.
Gettysburg Address

The Gettysburg Address by President Abraham Lincoln was a dedication of portions of the fields of Gettysburg to bury those that fell in the bloody fighting. This comic attempts to translate Licoln's eloquent words into JavaScript.
Hello World

“Hello World” is one of the most common programs, typically being the introductory program to a new language. This comic uses CSS and a little JavaScript to make one of the ugliest “Hello World” examples.
Letter of Inheritance

Having played multiple characters in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim one of the mechanics I dislike the most is the Courier. There are multiple things he can deliver but the most common is the Letter of Inheritance. Unfortunately, most of the time the only reason the NPC died was that you were near by and triggered something hostile, like bandits or dragons.
Unified Field Party

Unified Field Theory is the idea that all of the fundamental forces are related and can be described with the same set of equations. Electromagnetism, the Weak Nuclear force, and the Strong Nuclear force have all been described in this way. Gravity, however, has so far resisted all unifying attempts. This comic has fun with that fact.
