it’s no use running dini.
there is no escape.

betelgeuse
looks like astronomy’s back on the menu boys! ’bout time too. we’ve barely even seen sedna bust out the telescope since the first 9 comics. seriously, this is supposed to be a space comic! get your act together tom!
poor betelgeuse. people can’t talk about astronomy for 5 minutes without mentioning their desire to see this particular star violently commit suicide within their lifetimes. last year when betelgeuse dimmed significantly millions of people were chanting excitedly for this guy to hurry up and die (turned out it was just a gas cloud passing in front of it).
awfully rude. honestly.
abducted
hey mates! hope you all had a fun christmas and didn’t give your grandmothers covid.
i kinda like this comic. it’s simple but funny. and you could totally change the text in the first panel and turn it into a meme. if there are any young and in touch people reading this, you know what to do.
ancestors
of course, if it’s supernovae we’re talking about then in a way they actually are our ancestors, but that’s a comic for another time. no seriously, it’s exactly 12 comics from now. mark your calendars lads.
it’s sad that some people can’t appreciate stars without applying some weird personification or spiritual meaning to them. i mean come on, they’re colossal billion-year-old nuclear hellfire deathballs! what could possibly be more awesome than that?
friends
i usually use a star chart app to make sure the stars are accurate in each comic (based on where i live), and it just so happened that the twinkly “star” hovering over sedna’s room in the 4th panel is actually mars. i swear i didn’t plan it that way, that’s just where it happened to be when i drew this comic.
a happy little accident. (*´ω｀*)
stare
dini can basically read sedna’s mind by now. not that she makes it difficult.
one more chapter
when i lived in japan there was someone living nearby who started their motorbike at around 5am every morning, so whenever i stayed up way too late playing strategy games or watching anime (which was pretty often considering my classes started at 12:50), that revving sound was what rudely let me know that i screwed up.
fast forward to when i’m back in australia thinking i’ve been freed of that accursed bike alarm, and alas, i forgot that all our damn birds start singing at 5am. it’s like the universe wants me to have a proper sleep schedule.
you can’t tell me what to do, universe! you’re not my mother!
bedtime routine
personally i read with my kindle every night as a way of making myself tired enough to fall asleep, but i have to read in my second language to give my brain some work to do. if i read in english i risk sailing through the book until suddenly i look up and it’s 9am the next morning.
i mean… not that i’ve ever done that before… ( ⚆ _ ⚆ )
wish
of course, sedna doesn’t believe in superstitious nonsense like shooting stars granting wishes.
…buuuut it doesn’t hurt to try. ;)
meteor
you probably learned in primary school that it’s a “meteoroid” when it’s in space, “meteor” when it’s falling down to earth, and “meteorite” when it’s splattered itself across your backyard.
personally i think we should change these three terms to “space rock”, “firey space rock”, and “ex-space rock” for clarity’s sake.
