Tyler are you saying that Antarctica IS a frozen island in the middle of the ocean too?

Probably for the same reason I prefer to do them that way. More visually appealing so those photos are more popular. There are two old volcanoes on the peninsula, where more tourists or even casual photographers are more likely to be photographing and stuff.

Maybe photographers also tend to up the contrast to get those little penguin tuxedoes to stand out more.

All the pictures I’ve ever seen of antarctic beaches, the soil was black.

So I wondered if maybe you knew.

Sev, does “it looks best in the comic” work? Heh, actually there are several old volcanoes in Antarctica that make up the black rock and soil of some areas, a couple on the peninsula. Although most of the rock there seems to be gray and soil ranges from gray to brown. Actually Antarctica has the oldest rock and soil measured on earth apparently. I think the darkness and richness of some beaches can be attributed to the penguin colonies there,as a result of their byproduct. I guess I need to do my homework and cover the rock and soil hiding under all that snow and ice a little in a news post, maybe when a comic ties into it a bit more…

Eric, that forum was so quiet I thought I would add a tumbleweed to the mix. Haven’t added one to the comic yet though so apologies there, although I came close in the Cowboy storyline.

All of your comics are hilarious, but this one takes the cake. Like Kevin said, the irony of Osbourne’s statement here is so true =P

Why is the ground black? Is it from oil, or volcanos, or coal, or what?
