Ridiculous or not, the strip is based on an actual scientific theory I read recently. I decided to have fun with it.And yes, the strip was easy to draw (I love those kind!)
This would have been funnier if the exact same art from yesterday had been reused. Fun to see how much mileage can be gotten from the same visual situation.
We do know that rocks from Mars have reached Earth after meteor impacts and volcanic eruptions. They were blasted off under the same conditions as early Earth, so it’s just as possible for rocks and archaea to be blasted off early Earth. It’s unlikely for them to reach Mars because it’s further from the sun’s gravity well, and they probably wouldn’t survive the extreme conditions of Venus, but Earth rocks and microbes might be found on Mercury.Microbes aren’t the only life that can survive the rigors of space. Animals like water bears can survive in space as well.

Bob Hope once commented about his first trip aboard a Concorde: “I like Concorde. It gives me three extra hours to find my luggage.”

So if I got this straight…Man AND women are from Mars, but your luggage is from Venus?

Easy strip to draw – take yesterday’s and change the speech balloons.

“Life may just be a constant in the Universe, not an exception.”.I hope it is and that we don’t end up trying to destroy it.

Fun conversation. Thanks, all.
