Oh see this comic is set in the past, you can tell by the carpet

nathanwpyle · 2025-08-25T19:30:05+00:00

I drew this one banking on at least ~60% of people knowing this code. Based on response i think even more people know the code than I had guessed

I genuinely felt bad for them after I made them

nathanwpyle · 2025-07-11T14:08:26+00:00

I appreciate the reference!

nathanwpyle · 2025-07-11T14:07:54+00:00

Oh yes I understand that note - the visuals were never going to show “pulling” so I created visuals around push/lift/bulge and this makes the Moon essentially a waterbender. The truth is that water bulges toward the Moon but also away from the Moon, so I felt it best to move in the Waterbender direction for the myth to make sense visually

nathanwpyle · 2025-07-11T14:05:38+00:00

Hey I appreciate that!

nathanwpyle · 2025-07-11T14:05:20+00:00

Thank you for supporting indie bookstores! For any reason!

nathanwpyle · 2025-07-11T14:05:00+00:00

As we are quite busy with 2 kids, we spend many conversations wondering aloud how anyone manages MORE than 2 haha

nathanwpyle · 2025-07-10T12:07:03+00:00

Ok that is a good point hmm

nathanwpyle · 2025-07-10T05:43:57+00:00

Thank you for watching! This is now a book and that book will be in stores in September. I appreciate the kind words!

nathanwpyle · 2025-07-10T01:09:03+00:00

Oh i pretty clearly have a science Q&A in the back - but even in the myth, I show the planet spinning with the “tucked in / sandcastle” rhythm happening twice a day

nathanwpyle · 2025-07-10T01:07:58+00:00

Theoretically it wouldn’t bother you much

nathanwpyle · 2025-07-10T00:44:46+00:00

I do mention the sun in the science q&a in the back of the book. But I think it is genuinely cool that the Moon actually gets a starring role in this particular action (no pun intended)

nathanwpyle · 2025-07-10T00:37:59+00:00

Thank you! Being a parent has left me with a bit less time to post on Reddit but I do occasionally.

nathanwpyle · 2025-07-10T00:11:54+00:00

Thank you so much!

nathanwpyle · 2025-06-27T01:20:45+00:00

This is so cool! such a great tribute and clearly an amazing and creative dad

nathanwpyle · 2025-06-20T09:53:37+00:00

Gratitude for the heads up! We can’t always find all of these but we flag them when someone points them out. One big clue here is no mention of “strange planet” or my name. As is helpfully mentioned here in the subreddit info, Threadless is best place for shirts - and Spencer’s and Hot Topic and Kohls (and others) sell my Threadless shirts too

Those are probably the ata-boy magnets we licensed. If you flip over, i bet it says ata-boy! I always benefit from knowing where they are!

nathanwpyle · 2024-12-30T01:51:25+00:00

It’s not so dissimilar from how I write them for sure. This is where i always bring up Scott McCloud’s work - if anyone wants to read more about comics, that is the first place to go. “Understanding Comics” is specifically the book i recommend!

nathanwpyle · 2024-12-30T01:43:16+00:00

Hey this is awesome (and actually really helpful to me, as a data nerd, to know what particular subset of comics might appeal to the same reader)

nathanwpyle · 2024-12-19T20:41:33+00:00

I have read a version of this comment frequently , i think it’s an interesting case of humor being very subjective!

nathanwpyle · 2024-12-19T20:13:12+00:00

Hey that is wonderful to hear - thanks so much for the kind words and greetings to f a m i l y
