The holidays are an awesome time of year. Especially the exchanging of gifts thing. So here’s some wonderful fan art that Zorphbert and Fred‘s Dawn Griffin did for us here at Ellie Mission Control. Go and check out her comic about a couple of aliens posing as dogs so they can study us humans all up close and personal like. And you can see the fan art we did for her too!
Who knew Ellie had all that extra hardware tucked inside?!
A new planet was discovered by NASA’s Kepler Space Telescope over the weekend. This one’s a little special. It’s been named Kepler 22b by astronomers and it sits right smack inside what’s termed the Goldilocks Zone in orbit around its parent star, 600 light years away. Not too hot, not too cold. Just right for the possibility of running water and balmy 70 degree days.
Here’s a link to read more about Kepler 22b. And here’s an artist’s interpretation of another planet that falls within the habitable zone of its star:
After a hiatus of several weeks, our ally in comicking Denver Brubaker’s Tales of a Checkered Man returns to the interwebs. Please go and check out his amazing adventures!
Here’s an extra post today: a scribble from my sketchbook.
I’ve been enjoying Dawn Griffin’s Zorphbert and Fred, and I’ve been listening to her on the Webcomic Alliance podcasts. So I decided to do up some fan art of her characters, since we’ve both got aliens on the brain. Her aliens just happen to be dressed up, pretending to be dogs, hoping to blend in while they study us humans. Pretty much the same mission as Ellie. I suppose if we can send little explorers out into the void to report back to us, we can’t be surprised when it happens the other way around!
Go visit Dawn’s great comic (be nice to her. She has a cold). And check your pets for zippers!
