This strip was published around the time that many news stories were circulating about employers doing Facebook background checks on potential and current employees. The serial number around the creature’s neck is that of Bill Gates.

“For years the practice of ship design had employed models to design in the small. The successful design was then plotted on graph paper and the key points of the plot were re-plotted on larger graph paper to full size. The thin wooden strips provided an interpolation of the key points into smooth curves. The strips would be held in place at discrete points (called “ducks” by Forrest; Schoenberg used “dogs” or “rats”) and between these points would assume shapes of minimum strain energy.” See Wikipedia.

Dedicated to Dan Maas

This strip was drawn as a gift to my friend Dan Maas, known for his Emmy-nominated animation of the Mars exploration rovers. I drew this strip to commemorate Dan’s debut on an IMAX screen with some sequences of animation that he produced for Disney’s documentary, Roving Mars. Dan and I traveled to New York City on the weekend before this comic was published to see an IMAX screening of the film, and then to get a backstage tour of the Hayden Planetarium!
