Just before I saw this cartoon I was searching on Redfin and was being tempted by that extra little patch of green into looking for a house just a little farther out into the soul-sucking vortex of suburbia. Thank you for this.
Sometimes I want to fly away to the moon, but my reasons are usually things like people jumping to the head of a queue or walking four abreast on the pavement and not moving to let anyone pass. I don’t have this much patience with humanity.
Why is the moon which goes around the Earth “The” moon. You’d think that some other more important moon would be the definitive example… like Ganymede.
Or maybe the proper name of the big moon of Earth (which isn’t Cruithne) is actually “The”.
“The Moon” is the best moon ever is why! Did you know that it’s been staring lovingly at the Earth’s surface for its entire existence? That’s why the moon and the image of that half of its many-cratered surface are such a powerful force on life and humanity, both literally and figuratively. How many moons have that sort of dedication? I don’t know, I’m too lazy!
What basis can anyone have for naming any particular moon the most important? Important to who? To what? Important to the host planet? In that case an argument can be made for Charon. It’s so massive in many astronomical scenarios it’s easier to say Pluto and Charon form a double object!
That’s not even going into other meaningful criteria for importance, such as geologic or meteorologic activity.

Are Cat and Girl cartoons autobiographical? To some degree.

All of Earth is a third world country.
Mercury is first world, but you can’t live there.
I don’t know what the moon is. 3.14, maybe?

That’s Pi in the sky thinking, Erika.

I just moved, almost the moon. Am waiting for the Witnesses to show up and confirm.

Well, I’d like to visit the moon
On a rocket ship high in the air
Yes, I’d like to visit the moon
But I don’t think I’d like to live there
