Tom Gauld has it right. 100% right, IMHO.

I’m kind of a sucker for certain things:

Images of galaxies — I love the great whorls of stars that make up the visible mass of the Universe
The history of science, especially physics and astronomy
A clever title

So it was probably inevitable that I’d check this book out of the library today:

I’ll let you know what I think when I’m done reading it.

I don’t dress up very often for Hollow Bean. The last time, I think, I wore devil horns and a suit to work, and told everyone I was “Administration”.

This year, I got dressed up as a superhero.

Mild-mannered nerd J. Lloyd Dorkstick.

And now, may I present:

Captain Awesome.

Please note the long johns under the swimsuit, since Canadian superheroes don’t wear tights.

Now you see why my wife laughed and laughed and laughed, until I put my pants back on.
