Overboard by Chip Dunham for March 09, 2022

A brave new world

There are reports of huge gyres of plastic and other debris, in every ocean.

so very sad…

We MUST do better, we live in a garbage dump.

We focus on picking up trash in the neighborhood. Amazing what blows in or is thrown out of cars. The aluminum is recycled to support the local humane society. Its not much in the general scheme of things but I figure every little bit helps somewhere.

So sad :(

Good morning Crew!

Space junk littering the cosmos. Garbage strewn across landscapes. Why should the oceans escape the footprint of humans?

Will we ever learn? Humans are the only inhabitants of this planet.

And there are reports that we all have microscopic bits of plastic in our bodies as a result of the food chain. Those microfiber rags that are so useful release those fibers that wind up in the oceans.

And Siberia is thawing, releasing millions of tons of methane into the atmosphere.

As a friend says, I’m glad I’m old.

I may be a party of one, but during these horrible times where one country is so hideously destroying its neighbor, where the Earth is continuously being assaulted and polluted, I truly wish that here in Overboard-land, realty can be suspended. That just for a few moments, we can enjoy the fantasy and fun of this comic strip. Maybe, just for a short while, the loving and caring creator of this wonderful fantasy-land, can help us momentarily suspend the real world and just focus on the love, wonder and lunacy of all the Overboard characters. Please, Chip?

It’s awful that this is actually true.

And now for today’s slap of reality in the face …

Good Evening, Crew.
