3 shots from star trek deep space nine.
1 and 2: Q, with a fake handlebar mustache, sitting on the ground after being knocked down, says "You hit me. Picard never hit men"
3: Commander Benjamin Sisko, standing over him and looking exasperated, says "I'm not Picard."

You ever think about how the Mafia boss in The Rocketeer has higher ethical standards than everyone who attended the WHCD
The Mafia boss from 1991's cinematic masterpiece, The Rocketeer. He's yelling at a Nazi: "It matters to me. I may not make an honest buck, but I'm 100% American, and I don't work for no two-bit Nazi." Then he teams up with the FBI to fight Nazis and it's awesome.

whose work causes them to soil their hands." This
product was also sold as a household cleaner which could be used for cleaning cookware, bathtubs, painted woodwork, and more.

YES
But the Apollo program wasn't about science. It wasn't about doing anything cheaply or safely. It wasn't about what we would learn by bringing samples back from the Moon, or even about all the technological advances that came out of it. It was, fundamentally, about wonder. It was about expanding our horizons as a species and setting foot on a new world. It was about reaching out into the cosmos, being viscerally connected to it, and bringing that experience back to share with all who have looked up to the stars with a sense of awe and anticipation. It was about the recognition that we are all part of one human race, all living together on a tiny blue marble in the great black void. It was about heroes, like Neil Armstrong. And like my grandfather, too.

Signs of spring, ranked. An older comic. Feel free to argue with my ranking.
A six-panel comic called Signs of Spring, Ranked. In panel 1, #10 is Robin, showing an american robing standing on a lawn - not always a useful sign since robins are quietly present in winter in many areas. In panel 2, there's #9: Daffodil - nice, mundane, #8: Skunk Cabbage - unusual, cool, and #7: Dutchman's Breeches, a flower that looks like a pair of underwear with a hole - lol. In panel 3, there's #6: Turkey vulture migrating - gloriously ominous, a humbling reminder of life's transience, and #5: very very small bunny - wow, the little ears. In panel 4 there's #4: Snake sunbathing, with a gartersnake warming itself - underappreciated, looks cozy, and #3: Woodcock going peent - the perfect sound. In panel 5 there's a wood frog calling from a pond, and #2: small frogs yelling as loud as they can, with a wood frog floating in a pool inflating itself to make a loud quack - they crave love, or at least they crave the external fertilization of 1500 gelatinous eggs. In panel 6, there's a drawing of a spring peeper and #1, Even smaller frogs yelling, with a spring peeper sitting on the ground making loud calls - yes, YES.

Cat Burger - Gator Days
Cat Burger - Gator Days

Characters

Catrick C. Cattington IV - Catfish - He might be a CEO of a company who is worth millions of dollars but he is just like you!

Stuart - Quokka - A perpetually smiling Sectional Manager. He tackles every problem with motivational corporate speak intended to maximize collaboration and synergies among all employees.

August - Alligator - A soft spoken single father who works in IT. Gustopher's dad.

Transcript

Panel 1

Catrick is filming an ad for a fast food restaurant's new product. He's excited to share it with you. He's wearing and tie so you know he means business but he also has a sweater vest on so you'll know he's friendly. He's also wearing gloves so he doesn't actually have to touch any food. There's a sign in the background that says "HOME SWEET HOME" which everyone hopes will disguise the fact that they're filming this in an empty conference room.

Catrick: I'm taking a break from my busy CEO schedule to show you our new product. Yummy.

Panel 2

Catrick is now sitting in front of a TV that says "CAT BURGER" with the Cat Burger mascot in the middle.

Catrick: I enjoy consuming product while sipping a loss leader and watching content on the subscription service.

Panel 3

Catrick has found himself two more food items from the Cat Burger menu. He's trying his best to keep them from getting too close to his mouth. In one had he has fries and in the other he has "Pistachio Spice" seasonal frozen treat. Does not actually contain pistachio.

Catrick: I like to finish my meal by dipping my added value side in a seasonal item. I do this several times a week.

Panel 4

Stuart is by the camera and giving Catrick feedback. No one has realized that no one has removed the cap from the camera. August from IT was brought in to see why the camera isn't recording anything. He's just standing there in stunned silence. He will not be getting Cat Burger for dinner.

Stuart: GREAT WORK, SIR! Highly relatable.
