This magical dish cleaning machine is fascinating. It could only be improved by the addition of a snack.

No, I am not interested in the Artemis II launch date slip. Your insistence on staying up until the end of the Wet Dress Rehearsal has resulted in the late delivery of snacks and I am sorely vexed. #priorities

So, you don’t need my help with your Lego. Fine. I am too busy having a rest anyway.

I see you have neglected to give me a snack in favour of assembling some Lego. I shall assist.

I see you are about to run an errand. I would offer to help, but I have too much to do as it is.

It appears that you are trying to watch a popular television show. Might I suggest scritches instead?

I see you want to write something about Voyager and it being 40 years since the Uranus flyby. Would you not prefer to give me a snack?

It appears that you have chores to do. Would it not be better to sit down for a bit and have a nice biscuit instead?

It appears that you are eating a snack. Can I assist?

So long and thanks for all the stars.

JPL is one of NASA's major science and climate centers—home to the Mars rovers and 1000s of people. Firefighters held back the flames at JPL’s gates, but many of our coworkers lost their homes. Here’s a thread of their public GoFundMes if you can share & support however possible:

a special shoutout to everyone who "works with computers" and therefore is required to fix the electronics of their entire extended family over the holidays

There are two things I miss from the other place: lots of space nerdery and doggos. The former is improving and the latter… well… thank you, Ned

I loved this and wanted to create a little comic for it. This is how I imagined the exchange going. I hope you like it @neilhimself.neilgaiman.com ☺️
