I am having some difficulty figuring out who is being used to represent the Zodiac signs. I got Aries (RAM memory) ,Pisces (Lt. Fish) and Gemini (twins) right away, but it took me awhile to recognize Virgo (Sir Richard Branson, of Virgin, inc.) and Libra (Pounds sterling, to be weighed on a scale). If I could see more detail, it would be a little easier
I see Hunter S. Thompson (to the right of Branson), and ig they’re in the same order, that would be Sagittarius, but I’m not sure why.
The goat (Capricorn) is from LiveJournal, right?
Thx amalis
Sitting Bull, Leo McGarry from the West Wing, Robert Scorpio from the soap opera General Hospital, Aquarius computer and gaming system (remember these from the early 80’s?)
Try hitting the control key & the plus sign 3 or 4 times; that blows it up.
BTW, Venus is most definitely NOT “behind the sun” right now – it’s setting about 10:30 PM, more than 2 hours after sunset. Mercury is in front of the sun (from Earth’s perspective) and not visible at the moment (rising only 15 minutes ahead of the sun and setting before sunset.)
As a Libran, I’m too rationalistic and skeptical to find any value in astrology.
As for Hunter Thompson as Sagittarius, I suppose it could be that the Archer is a bow hunter. But are you sure it isn’t some artist’s conception of Ross McDonald’s most famous creation? (Although it certainly doesn’t look like Brian Keith).
Bottom figure on the right is Abe Vigoda. Famous character actor who played a police officer on the 70s TV show “Barney Miller.” The characters name was Fish.
I’m taking next week off for personal reasons. This space will be filled with one of my favorite storylines from 2006. New strips return on Monday the 10th.
And for the record, the icons for the zodiac are: RAM, Sitting Bull, the Doublemint Twins, the logo for Sloan-Kettering Memorial Cancer Center, Leo McGarry, Richard “Virgin” Branson, the Pound, Robert Scorpio, Hunter S. Thompson, Frank the Goat, Mattel Aquarius, and Fish.

I guess you’d have to watch General Hospital to recognize Robert Scorpio.
