Multiple
Organism
 This
comic is really about the multiverse, an intriguing
idea that there may exist as many as ten to the five-hundreth
power other universes. For all intents and purposes
that's an infinite number of alternate universes.
What's even more curious is that they may not use the same sets of of physical
laws we're subject to in our little hum-drum universe. The weak force might
be weaker, for instance, resulting in stars being unable
to form. That means no nuclear furnace and no elements
except for hydrogen. Yes, one gigantic void filled
with hydrogen gas. Lighting a match in such an environment
would
be perfectly
safe
as there's
no oxygen to further combustion, he said couching it
in the most simplistic terms imaginable.
I'm ill-equipped to orate knowledgeably about this
so check the video in Mike Video Vault (below) for
more
on the
subject.

Hey, this is the last Raging Pencils
comic of 2011 and I want to thank each and everyone
of
you who
stuck around for the ride. Readership was up about
20% this year, which suits me fine. The Rage isn't
the most accessible of comics but they're no
Garfield, either.
I also premiered
a sister web site, bornagainpagan.com,
that has proved to be very popular with the progressive
crowd, so it's been a good year for your
humble misanthrope. (I also have another site in the
works. Stay tuned as it will be ready in a few weeks.)
For those who care the most popular RP comics this
year were Cats
as God, The
Telephone Game, The
Three Branches of Government, Enjoy
the Ride, and Speed
Campaigning with Rick Perry.
However, the most popular RP comic of all this year
was, uhm, this
one from 2009.
I don't understand why but this damned thing has been
viewed hundreds of thousands of times. I'm glad people
like it but come ONNNNNNN! I despair at times that
this comic will be my "cow tools". Whimper.
Oh, well. Here's hoping I can approximate that magic
with a cartoon that really makes a useful statement
about life. Now go and have yourselves a wild and wacky
weekend and we'll see younext year!

You might notice that your share of federal
tax revenues is larger than corporations. Doesn't seem
fair to me, either.

Republican Job Creation Update
 12-30-2011:
Conservatives are still on vacation, presumably busy
importing rare South American butterflies to denude
of wings
in between sessions of thrashing the servants. So,
you know, no job creation.
