Webcomics featuring Dini
0056 – international space station
This is the last space station comic. Back to bunny strips next week, I promise. :P
I just want to remind people for a second that the Space Station won’t be up there forever. Once funding stops it will slowly fall back down into the Earth’s atmosphere and burn up. So make sure you see what may be humanity’s biggest accomplishment in our lifetimes while you still have the chance. (Here’s the link one more time: spotthestation.nasa.gov) And remember, whatever you see on TV or on Facebook, our species really isn’t as dumb as you might think.
…mostly.
0055 – bright
If you’ve never seen the ISS before you’ll be surprised how bright it gets if it flies directly over your head. Perfect time for smooching. And best of all, almost anyone can see it – as long as you don’t live near the arctic or Antarctic circle (sorry Scandinavia).
Fun fact: I originally drew this strip with Dini in his beanie and scarf and didn’t realise the glaring continuity error until I was ALMOST FINISHED DAMN IT! >:( If I didn’t draw digitally I would have probably shot myself.
0054 – early
But Tom, how do you know when the Space Station is about to fly over? It’s not like NASA will personally send you a message telling you the exact time and direction it will- OHMYGOSHWHAAAAAAT?!
0053 – space station!!!
While drawing this strip I realised the characters’ heads are so large, I had to stretch Sedna’s body so that she could actually reach over Dini’s head without standing up (fortunately the hair obscures this, so it’s hard to tell)… and even that wasn’t enough, so I made Dini look upwards a little.

0051 – sushi
If ‘The Lady and the Tramp’ taught me anything, it’s that next time she should try sharing a bowl of really long spaghetti.
(I mean, I haven’t actually seen The Lady and the Tramp, but I assume it all works out)
0050 – love
Awkward.
Hurray! Comic number 50! Halfway to an actual milestone! What better way to celebrate than with a BIG REVEAL that literally everyone saw coming? In fact, I’d like to apologise to everyone for pretending there was any mystery at all, it was pretty obvious who Sedna liked.
And… now I need to start thinking of something for comic #100.
0047 – plasma tornado
“…in 2011, SDO watched as another tornado — this one about five times the size of Earth — gyrated at speeds of up to 186,000 mph (300,000 km/h).” ⊙_⊙
It’s 2017! And you know what that means? It means the copyright thingy at the bottom of the comic is slightly longer now! YAYY! But also it’s gonna’ be an exciting year for all things space, including the first launch of the Falcon Heavy, the August 21st Solar Eclipse in North America, and the impending doom of the Cassini probe. Well, not so much the last one. :(
0046 – stargazing
Fun fact: Every star in this comic (and every other comic) is real. Which makes me probably the only comic artist in the world who doesn’t just jot random dots in the sky – which is about 20 times faster and no-one can tell the difference anyway.
This is the last comic for the year. So see you next year everybody! And congrats on surviving 2016!
0043 – morning
It’s Christmas Eve! Enjoy this comic about having to get up for school, on a day when literally no-one has to get up for school! (This is the downside of doing comics way in advance.)
