Miracles Of Technology
This is the 21st century. 2012 people. Cardboard boxes are still the most viable thing for looking at a solar eclipse? I demand a refund…that is, if I had actually paid for anything. Yeah, I could get some Blublockers but that costs money. I guess cardboard it is.
You always lose the magic of an eclipse when you’re not looking at the real thing but a shadow in a box. You can’t look at it because you’ll go blind but it’s there in the sky begging to be seen. I’m curious how many people lost their sight in the middle ages when these kinds of things happen.
The eclipse in San Diego (at least in the part I’m in) sure didn’t look like anything particularly special but people kept posting all these awesome pictures of it online. Kevin and I were leaving the gym right at its supposed peak hour and we didn’t see crap. Oh well, I guess there’s always next time. It won’t be too much of a wait. I mean, I was what, six when the last one came around? That sounds about right.

Next time use a camera negative. Use the part at the end with no picture because it’s extra dark. You can view the
Eclipse directly.
Ah, that’s a good idea, thanks!
So much for your “superior” eyesight…
Though if you do want to look directly at the sun I knew a guy at the last solar eclipse (which was about ten years ago not twenty) who had a welding accident that damaged his left eye, not to blindness but it was enough that he could close his other eye and stare directly at the sun. So all you need is an overpowered arc welder sometime in the next decade and you’re set!
I’m on it!
I looked directly at the one 10 years ago. I regret nothing.
Your artwork just keeps getting infinitely better 🙂
Thanks a lot. That was one of my main goals in starting the comic and I’m really glad it shows 🙂
