It’s the secret NASA doesn’t want you to see! Click the graphic for the rest of the strip.
I am ticked that I was at Comic Con, where these guys from Amazing Super Powers were, and I totally didn’t even know about the comic beforehand. It’s very similar to Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal which I also love.
Tip o’ the Farnsworth to Deric Hughes, whom I also met at Comic Con.

Ha! Morbid, but funny.

If you don’t already read it, check out xkcd too

By the way Phil/everyone else who plans on going to read some Amazing Superpowers comics now… Much like the SMBC strips you mentioned above, Amazing Superpowers has a bonus comic/alt panel/etc… Move your mouse over to just a bit to the right of the top right corner of the strip, click on the “?” button that’ll appear.
They vary in quality, but some of them are pretty good and get more laughs out of me than the regular comic.

Man… I don’t think I want to be an astronaut anymore.

This actually happened – not to an astronaut, but a composer. Google “Lully”.

Ouch! And he got an infection, and then, the wound turned gangrenous.

Actually, the ever-changing slug-thing in the header is the funniest thing there.

That was cruel.

8. Alan Kellog: Cruel???
,,, and the cowboy said,” Oh. This sheep. Why, I’m just helping it over the fence.”
Now, THAT’S cruel. But if it was George Bush being helped,,, that would be funny,,,

Why should I take seriously anybody who can’t spell my name right. (And who misses an obvious smiley at that.

What’s with the novel ellipses?

11. Alan Kellogg:
Ah, what can I say? I’m old and sometimes can’t see the double G(and sometimes see MANY double Gs) but your lead was just too big a temptation. I’ve been wanting to do a Bush snidely remark for quite a while.
12. Michael:
You mean, like these “”"”"? Hmmm, beats me. It looks fine on my iMAc. Must be an artifact of this site .

@Michael Gray: The first rule of Bad Astronomy comments: We do not ask about the ellipses.
