12/24/12
Today's J. Post cartoon
I knew for a while that I wanted to do something pithy about the 21/12/2012 hysteria. My first instinct was something like me sitting at a drawing board in a field full of sunshine and flowers and whatnot with a caption saying something like "Yup, still here" and an annotation saying that it was drawn before said date. However, I don't use a drawing board and the weather here's pretty cloudy and windy and gloomy, so that was scrapped.
This final product was drawn on December 21st itself, and it pokes fun at the notion that just because the Mayan calendar cycle ended some nutters thought that this meant that everything else would end as well. Because the Mayans were clever enough to predict Armageddon right down to the exact day but couldn't foresee their own civilization's destruction. Yep, that makes sense.

hey man; there never was a mayan end of the world prediction. their calendar is a circle. what happens when a clock makes a full revolution? does time end?
ReplyDeletedo CIRCLES have a beginning and an end?
it just depicts the passing into the age of aquarius when our solar system is aligned with quarius as opposed to the last one it was in (dont know myself), happens every couple thousand years and this one was special because it was the renewal of the of the calendar, just as midnight is the renewal of the day, along with all the metaphorical and literal implications of a new day
