Raydog's Space Pen meme made me think of this.

Early USSR Cosmonauts did get attacked by bears after their Capsule landed in the Siberian Steppes. Now all Soyuz Capsules actually carry guns. lol

I understand that most of their capsules were not airtight, either. Reports of cosmonauts hearing air whistling at the hatch were common. Many of the incidents were hushed up until after the fall of the soviet union.

lol

must've left a bad taste in his mouth.

It was going to be a meme comment, but I changed my mind. I first did a cartoon like this when I was in 7th grade, shortly after Armstrong's moonwalk.

Oh obviously then Raydog's meme just made u think of an idea u already had. Woah wait 7th grade in 196? then? Shoot i'm feelin not quite so senior in this crowd. Anyway i figured it had to do with his meme being an urban legend presented as true.

My mind works that way. Urban legends don't bother me, often, depending on how severe they are. It was originally presented as a joke back in the days of Nixon. I didn't hear the "Good Luck, Mr Gorsky" one until long after. One you might want to look up sometime. Both great jokes, but never meant to be taken seriously.

Mention one thing and I can go six different directions. Old? Yeah, I'll be 60 in a few weeks. But this does show you how my mind worked even then. the cartoon showed a sharp toothed monster picking his teeth with a Soviet flag while Buzz and Neal were in the background commenting about how they were the first men on the moon.

I looked up Gorsky one after you mentioned it in Raydog's meme. Now we're both curious about what he'll do with that. :D

Aaaaand i was gonna add that ur cartoon sounded like a good one wheeeen i hit post comment by accident for the third time today. :-p fumble thumb

The original is lost to the ages, but I did do one in MS Paint about 20 years ago, a remake, as it were. its on a disk around here somewhere.

One nice thing about my age is that I have so many things to draw from in the rattrap of my brain. and yet, I keep learning new things.
