Galilei Galileo (1564-1642) The Pleiades - Sidereus Nuncius

 

Sidereus Nuncius (usually Sidereal Messenger, also Starry Messenger or Sidereal Message) is a short astronomical treatise (or pamphlet) published in New Latin by Galileo Galilei on March 13, 1610.[1] It was the first published scientific work based on observations made through a telescope, and it contains the results of Galileo’s early observations of the imperfect and mountainous Moon, the hundreds of stars that were unable to be seen in either the Milky Way or certain constellations with the naked eye, and the Medicean Stars that appeared to be circling Jupiter.”

Silliness

I appear to be talking myself into making comics again. This could be, and usually is, a terrible idea.
If anyone can stop this silliness please send help.
Biro, fountain pen, montage and general moments of weakness.

I’m also thinking I might start making the posts on this site shorter.

On the River Mekong, Nong Khai, Thailand (1991)

Clearing out the garage and the study ready for them to be demolished is proving a slow and emotional process. You find the strangest artifacts. This is me doing a “selfie ” in the nineties. Alone on a boat in the River Mekong (long story). The idea of travelling solo for months at a time is very far away from where I am now. That is not a bad thing.
Look, I’m doing my best Hunter S Thompson like an actual ****. Unfortunately one can’t really pull it off when one has the face of a baby.
