Red and Rover by Brian Basset for May 03, 2021

First the Kuiper Belt, then the Oort Cloud.

Solid avoidance strategy Red.

The Kuiper Belt ate Red’s homework!

The universe is expanding, put another buckle hole in the Kuiper Belt.

You are such a smart dog, Rover!

Red, wait a minute, this is a perfect opportunity to build the best Estes rocker ever to get there. BTW, always love any ACEME rocket that Wilde E. coyote builds. Guaranteed explosion! Ha

How come dogs never have any homework? It’s not fair.

Maybe they’ll be the first to confirm the existence of the Oort Cloud.

You will just end up eating it anyway Rover.

Sounds like a plan, Red

Three pages of math and a book report, and stop looking at me like that.

The trick is to ask the right questions.

Those are great ideas, Red.

OK – at the risk of sounding like Sheldon Cooper: did they know about the Oort Cloud and Kuiper belt in the ‘60s?

Homework : My favorite 9-year-old was giving his mom grief over doing his math, finding the least common denominator of fractions.

“I worry how he is going to get along in life,” his mom commented.

“I had a little trouble with common denominators myself,” I commented.

“See!” he exclaimed. “Tentoes doesn’t know how to do these (I do) and HE gets along in life! Barely.”

Hahahaha!

oort cloud is in interstellar space, and its closest boundaries are a light year away. it will take us a while to reach that.
