i did way more research on bunnies in space for this comic than i ever imagined myself doing.

turns out the second bunny in space was called zvezdochka. but the third bunny in space (and first bunny in orbit) never had its name or picture published, which is not only super disappointing on its own but also totally killed my original comic idea of having a whole photo album of pioneering space bunnies. damn it soviet union, all you had to do was give this bunny a name. was that really so hard?

But that feels like cheating…

And i think that a bunny with a title as prestigious as “first bunny in orbit” deserves a non-copied name.

“Prof. Bunbun the third, destroyer of worlds, fear of all nations” seems like a suitable replacement.

But my sister likes “Betty” or “Benett” depending on gender.
