Few astronomical events capture the public imagination quite like the passage of a bright comet. These magnificent “dirty snowballs”—mixtures of ice, dust, and rock—are ancient relics from the solar system’s formation, traveling vast distances from its coldest, outermost reaches. When they approach the sun, their frozen material vaporizes, creating the breathtaking tail that can stretch for millions of miles, turning them into spectacular celestial visitors.

The passage of comets through our part of the solar system is a critical event for scientific discovery and a constant reminder of the dynamic, sometimes volatile, nature of our cosmic neighborhood.

This article explores the science behind these icy travelers, the impact they have on our world, and why the study of passing comets is essential to understanding the origins … Read more

For decades, the path for a professional cartoonist was narrow and heavily guarded, confined primarily to syndicated newspaper strips, animation studios, or niche print publications. Success often depended on the approval of gatekeepers—editors, publishers, and studio executives. The barrier to entry was high, and the creative control often low.
