Just heard that Neil Armstrong, the first man (that we know of) to walk on the moon (well, our moon, anyway) has just died. Here is a cartoon that was inspired by his remarks on that historic occasion.
And of course, here is the obligatory Kickstarter link to get out of the way:

Go in peace, Neil. You are the bear.

Aww… it is very sad, isn’t it? But pretty impressive life, eh? I was working on my Neil Armstrong inspired Spineless Wonders post for tomorrow. If you fancy it, you will be able to find it here http://www.spinelesswonders.wordpress.com in around 10 hours. 🙂
I look forward to it. Should I admit that I was old enough to watch that event on TV?
Wow – in cat years you must be ancient! 😉 Lol!
It’s nowhere near as good as your ‘toons, in fact I’ve just been talking to my mother who thinks it’s also very mean. I told her that the Spineless Wonders are often very mean… he he! 🙂
We do not talk about my age.
I don’t know if you are a devotee of Dilbert, but Scott Adams (the creator there-of) has a theory about what makes a ‘toon funny. He calls it the 2 of 6 rule and your cartoon must have at least 2 of these attributes to be funny and not MERELY cute (or mean)
the six attributes are: 1) cuteness 2) mean-ness 3) naughty-ness 4) bizarre-ness 5) recognizability 6) clever-ness
Use them wisely. Just because a cartoon is mean, doesn’t mean it isn’t funny. But if it’s JUST mean, it might not be.
lots of us are old enough
I won’t tell, if you won’t!
Sweet Memorial – inspiration to honor the inspiration of 50 years ago – still alive today…

I remember seeing it on TV. I still remember it sending chills of amazement down my spine.
Excellent memorial for a great man.
Thank you. I think the panda kindergarten have something up there sleeve yet, as a further commemoration. Stay tuned.
