Side Business


Can you believe we are in the middle of the final Space Shuttle flight? I wanted to do a comic mentioning the Space Shuttle, but once I thought of a different way to pronounce it, the cartoon went in a different direction. So, as I researched the Shuttle, I thought at first to use the names of the vehicles as part of the comic strip. I did think of Catlantis for one of them, but no easy names came for Endeavour or Discovery. I decided to go ahead and write as much as I could. I wrote the "I hope it takes off" line and chose to pursue launch metaphors. When one of them said "... to the moon," the ending line referencing Apollo seemed a fitting way to end it.
