[Rockhounds] The Deep End

[gbrown at catspaw-minerals.com]

I've posted a lot... but others have chimed in too.  Randall Munroe's stuff is solid gold-plated latinum!  He's smart (very smart) and witty.  His books are fantastic.

Very good & funny, ...G (is it Gary, or George?), thanks for sharing this!
I'm also very glad I clicked on the glaciers/climate change cartoon, that is excellent, a really great combination of understanding about the relation of geologic change to human history!  I saved a copy.  Hard to decide whether to file my copy of the picture (record for the longest-length picture image I have on file), whether under "Geology", "History", "Humor", or "Misc."   [I filed it a folder under "Climate Change"!] [I must admit, I never ever heard of the movie "300", nor of the comic book it's based on.  No clue at first what that was about, though once I was clued in to the context, I recognized the reference to the 300 who defended Thermopylae.] Nor, I must also admit, do I ever hear or read anything about XKCD, except for occasional references to the comic that have appeared here in Rockhounds (all posted by you, Gary?).  Maybe it is a generational thing, Baby Boomers like me maybe don't access the same sources...  How/where does one see those cartoons, anyway?
Cheers and thanks again,Pete Modreskidefinitely a "first year" Baby Boomer!

You have to love XKCD.  They have at least three or four geology related comics each month.

It is not often you find plate tectonics in a comic. https://linklock.titanhq.com/analyse?url=https%3A%2F%2Fxkcd.com%2F2616%2F&data=eJxLtjUzTDGxMEo0M04xMDdSS7Etyk_OzsgvzUsp1kspyqyqyknVS87PVcu1LQi2LPQJ9ks39azMUCu2TU8qyi_PUzUxSE4sKS5ILNfNzcxLLUrMKQYrL0IyB6gGh6GlthklJQXFqsaOqkZuQFSRnZwCkgAyjcwMzYAUAGN0Nrg% _______________________________________________
