Discontinued Renegade

 

Sadly my beloved Jeep was hit and totaled (we are fine, thank the Lord), so I am now searching for the next love of my car life. And I have a twinge of sadness every time I see a Renegade out there enriching someone's life. My toddler noticed a green Renegade in a parking lot and said it was like Mom's car, which I thought was a surprising correlation for a three-year-old since mine was a different color. But the Renegade is a more distinct car than a classic sedan. Anyways, I'm sure there'll be plenty of comics once I get a new car. Oh, a bonus panel! 

Explanation: In the Marvel Universe, a character named Thanos gets an important glove then snaps his fingers to make half the people in the universe disappear. In my comic above, I allude to Thanos snapping to remove all the Renegades from the Earth (so not a universal snap, just our planet).

Text:
L1: Why don't you get another Renegade?
L2: They've been discontinued :( 
L1: They're all gone?!
L2: Yep, Thanos snapped them off the Earth.
BONUS:
L1: ... so they might be on other planets?
L2: We can't rule that out.

Baby in Retrograde

Happy Birthday to my niece!
This conversation happened a few weeks ago. I believe I read somewhere that Mercury is always in retrograde? Nope, per this article it's three or four times a year for three week periods. I'm not sure what that means but some people use that to govern their emotions. Babies like Ori don't have much governing their emotions. Maybe planetary guidance would be an upgrade. Haha, so much grading.

Explanation: there is a phrase "Mercury is in retrograde" and astrology says that does something to you and your relationships. This comic is using the similarities between the words "degrading" and "retrograde."

M: His mood is degrading.
L: Like Mercury.
M: Nope!
O: WAAAA!

Gassy Giant

 

I had to look up if stars were gassy giants, and they indeed are not - it is a classification of planets. There are so many things up in space - so much to explore! But are stars just big balls of gas, like Timon and Pumba say in the first Lion King? Now I could look that up or I could leave that up to the readers - I'm gonna choose the latter so I can wrap this up and feed my gassy giant.

A: Aw, your little girl is a star!
L: She's more like a planet - a gassy giant. 

You're My Sun!
