Nice! I laughed so hard my office-mate was looking at me strangely. Well, she does that anyway, so it’s hard to tell the causation in this situation.
Very similar in style to an xkcd comic. In fact, since I didn’t read carefully at first, that’s what I thought it was.
Yays, for the content and the stylistic hat-tip.
I may have mentioned this before, but one of the most powerful dreams in my life found me in a library discussing Sagan’s impact with….Sagan….who was of course very dead not just at the time but in my awareness. That is, in my dream, I knew I was talking to someone who was dead and I assured Dr. Sagan what a powerful and positive impact his work had on folk like me.
(wistfully) I’d like to have that dream again. Or, to put it another way, I hope to have that conversation again.
Well, as Borges said, “I have always imagined Heaven to be a kind of library” (or words to that effect).
