Sherman's Lagoon by Jim Toomey for November 30, 2024

Will we find Nemo?

Or sing YMCA.

Why do they name it after a clownfish?

Watch out for Cthulhu.

Salvage ALL of the fallen satellites! $$$$!!!!

Watch for falling satellites.

I think you’ll have time to duck, Sherman.

If it’s so remote why are there beach apes on the beach of the lagoon?

Point Nemo is 2600 KM from any point of land that is habitable. So not far from Kapupu would be misinformation.

“land”

Sherm, get an orange or green vest to go with the hardhat. Look official.

Well, molten drops of satellite components land in the ocean, if it is a controlled burn decommisioning, which is not that common.

One of the Max Headroom episodes (circa 1987) featured a holiday called “Sky Clearance”, where old satellites were cleared from orbit once a year, resulting in billions of small metallic particles raining down. People would carry umbrellas and wear festively decorated hard hats and costumes. Fast forward to today where there is so much junk in orbit that we need something like this.

Now we know what happened to Amelia Earhart—she got hit by de-orbiting satellite debris.
