THE BEST drawing you've ever done, by far is this rocket ship one. Thank you! I want to let you know that I'm putting this on my blog with credits, of course, and a link back to Gaping Void.

Wonderful work.

Thanks! Ha, we want to possess what we already are. Being born from the stardust atoms & cycling back to stars.

Ain't that the truth.

Its easier to seek out more of what we want then to be happy with what we've already attained.

A good cartoon for Net neutrality.....it's not enough to see the pipes, we have to own them

By the way, here is the link to my blog. The current "most recent" post includes your art. I'd love to hear your opinion on that post, if you don't mind.

Isn't this as ludicrous a suggestion as someone "owning" the land we walk on?

Hey Victor, I was trying to check out your blog - but there isn't anything on that site. did you leave the correct URL (www.serviceknight.com) ?

Didn't you hear about that guy, about last year, who seriously wanted to buy the moon?
We had no law about that; now, I think we have one.

I don't see this as negative at all. What's wrong with owning the stars?

Justin, you're being silly. Of course someone has to own the land you walk on - that's how our society is built. Only terribly primitive socities operate with the philosphy you express.

F. de C. - By treaty the moon is set aside for international use - no state can claim it, or part of it. Which is silly - there is no way to properly use a thing unless you assign property rights.
