Field Trippers
Today’s comic is running late. The Strang Institute’s main computer was being a little fussy. And by fussy, I mean it was throwing a tantrum, as highly intelligent AIs are apt to do from time to time. So, while we’re playing catch up, here’s a pic of a couple of the kids from the local elementary school on their field trip to Mission Control. We’ll be back on schedule by tomorrow morning!
So cute. I bet Ellie has no idea she is a celebrity back home.
Actually, Andy, she has every idea she’s a celebrity. Before she launched, her face was everywhere and on everything. What will be interesting to see is how Jeff handles his celebrity once he finds out about it. Of course, due to the 8.6 light year distance involved, we won’t know how Jeff reacts to all this for another 15 years!
If you sold a crochet version of the hat the kid on the right is wearing I would totally buy it!
Thanks, BenM! That’s important to know. If one day they’re available outside the general area of Mission Control, you’ll have your chance!
