nice idea sedna, but there is one tiny flaw to this plan. you’ll need approximately 2,000 balloons to lift your body off the ground and think of all the plastic pollution that would create.
Webcomics featuring sedna
ancient
it’s easy to think of the ancient egyptians as living at the dawn of civilisation and ourselves as living closer to the end of it, but on a universal scale, we are still the ancient egyptians.
also if you’re baffled by how long 100 trillion years is and want me to put it into perspective: imagine 1 trillion years. now multiply that by 100. there.
throw
fun fact: the average 8-year-old weighs approximately 4.3kg on the moon. make what you will with that information.
cloud watching
kinda stretching it with those last few clouds there sedna.

new illustration mates! this one’s totally not autobiographical mum, i swear.
i like to try and use a different colour palette for each illustration and so i originally drew this in mostly cool blue colours, but it wasn’t really working so i eventually gave up and defaulted back to purple and pink again. i might put the original on patreon if anyone’s interested.
checklist
hahaha- oh wait, i have to draw comics for all of them, don’t i? :|
craters
that’s right mates, there’s a crater on mercury called disney (and you’ll know why if you look at its shape). so technically if you were to say “disney is the worst and we should shoot it into the sun”, you could argue you were talking about the crater and the mouse couldn’t sue you.
i’m just saying. you could do that if wanted to. just putting it out there.
(this comic was a real pain in the butt to draw by the way. good thing there’s a 3d map of mercury available online or i would have totally given up on trying to draw all the craters accurately)
vulcan
i really need to stop trying to explain complex relativity concepts in like two panels. i can barely fit the text.
interestingly the guy who speculated about the existence of vulcan wasn’t just any random astronmer. it was urbain le verrier, who used the exact same method to predict the existence of neptune based on the orbit of uranus in 1846. so statistically speaking when he said “there might be a planet here”, until then he was right 100% of the time.
magnetic tornado
“magnetic tornado” sounds like the kind of technobabble you’d hear in an old star trek episode or a netflix original sci-fi movie.
wait, i hope no one from netflix is reading this. they might start getting ideas. O.O
double sunset
this is my favourite random factoid about mercury. on most planets the sun moves from east to west, then venus decides to be different and has the sun move from west to east, and then mercury comes along and says “¿porque no los dos?” and makes the sun do a whole reverse parking manoeuvre and then carry on like it was nothing.
i should probably mention that this happens over the course of about 8 earth days and there’s no atmosphere for the sun to light up orange, so it would probably also be the most boring sunset in the solar system, but somehow i don’t think sedna would mind.
