I think what I most love about Dok's Dippy Duck is it is so tied to it's time and location. It's a great look at what Seattle was like in the 20s. More so than most comics of its time I think. Skippy too, but usually less explicitly. That comic today though was clearly some social commentary on contemporary urban problems.

Hey guys, I'm remaking my avatar from a while back and and torn between this version: ...and this version where CB changes expression in the Dustin panel.  I think the change in expression disrupts the flow a bit but I like the gag. I'm a bad judge of these things so I figured I'd ask what other people think.

Johnny Aztec posted:I know some nerds have done it, I wanna see the math behind all that concept. Some wikipedia + napkin math here. (And I probably took a wrong turn somewhere, the numbers involved are so staggeringly large it's just nonsensical.) Well, ignoring any current production of it, CO2 makes up roughly 0.04% of the atmosphere. (Ignoring water vapour.) Earth's atmosphere is roughly 5.15×10^18 kg, or ~ 5,150,000,000 gigatons. That leaves us with a measly 2,060,000 gigatons of CO2. ( 2.06*10^15kg ) And there's around 12,875,000 gigatons of water vapor in the atmosphere. Since wood/construction materials is a pretty complex material, I'll instead have Dilbert's amazing miracle machine produce glucose/sugar instead, since then I can simplify it down to a single chemical. (And honestly, cellulose is basically just glucose in chains anyhow. ) Dilbert's amazing machine also produces it through a magic, 100% efficient reverse-aerobic resperation cycle. Those 2,060,000 gigatons of CO2 can be converted to 2,809,090.90 gigatons of glucose. This would also require 842,727.27 gigatons of water, though that's just 6.5% of the water vapor in the atmosphere, so that's probably nothing to worry about. (The output of oxygen from this is not massively relevant, but it would increase the atmosphere's oxygen content by some fraction of a percent.) 2.8 petatons of glucose is a lot. If it were shaped like a cube, it would be 122km on each side. ( 75.8 miles.) And would be visible from 1253.5km away, accounting for the earth's curvature. ( 778.8 miles.) If it were a sphere, it would be 75.8 km in diameter, and visible from 986.2 km. If you were in western Phoenix, you'd hypothetically be able to see the top of it on a clear day. In Los Angeles it would be 16 times bigger than the moon is in the sky, and easily visible provided you didn't stand near a mountain or building. The required energy to convert that much CO2 + water into glucose would be around 44,940,959,998,454.6 TJ/W. Or 1,248,359,999.6 TWh. Total worldwide gross power generation in 2016 was 25,082 TWh. The amount of energy the earth recieves from the sun in an hour is ~626,400,000 TWh. Which means that if you grabbed the entirety of the sun's output hitting the earth and rammed it into Dilbert's magic sugarcube maker, it would demand 2 hours worth of it. (e: sorry copied over an incorrect value previously.) Even if you ignored the power usage entirely, this would still mean removing a good ~20-30% of the earth's greenhouse effect, perhaps more. Which would have the immediate effect of palmslamming worldwide temperatures down by ~10C and thrust us into an ice age. Where it would go from there, I have no idea. A lot of CO2 stored in water (ocean acidification, etc.) would probably start getting released back into the atmosphere. If humanity ramped up CO2 production massively ( like for example re-burning up the giant sugarcube. ) it could probably start re-adding to the atmosphere pretty quickly. But yeah, all plant photosynthesis would effectively stop, and once they ran out of their energy stores they would start dying off in swathes. Only ones in environments where we could supply them with additional CO2 would survive honestly. Massive CO2 leeching from oceans + lakes and back into the atmosphere would likely cause massive die-offs of water-based plants as well. Though I imagine the instant ice age would be more of a worry. (Also all of San Fran/San Jose + Sacramento getting crushed under a giant sugar cube/ball. I guess.) e: Or if he just used a magic scrubber that pulls carbon directly out of the air, bypassing the 'construction material' part from a few days ago: You'd get a far more reasonable 561 818 gigatons of carbon/graphite, though at a significantly higher cost of 5 098 311 077.33 TWh. ( Or 8.13 hours worth of total sunlight energy capture. ) SubNat fucked around with this message at 18:06 on Feb 12, 2019 |

^^^I hate this fictional A3G man and I hope he's dead. OF COURSE IT WAS A FAKE-OUT OUR DEAR SWEET LUANN CANNOT KISS A MAN WHO IS NOT HER ESTABLISHED BOYFRIEND SHE IS NOT A SLUT LIKE TIFFANY  He's smiling in the panel, like he's pleased to have gotten a nibble, but the pause makes his reaction ambiguous. I can't tell if Gunther is doing the Nice Guy thing where he's disappointed that this woman is not a 10 (despite being a complete bridge troll himself) or if he's finding her pronounced overbite attractive.

Speaking of, it's Closer to Home!    This one is notable as it's one of the few times you see someone in the old comics without glasses (even if it's just a baby).  This one is also notable (and spoiler'd) because it's the first time you see a horrific  burn in his comics! And I don't think it's the last!
