I easily recognized the top of the picture, but not the rest.
Is that a work in progress, HM? Or is somebody trying to self-appropriate your mojo?

Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there – on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

Thanks for the tip, Simon.
Complicated story...
The guy who did that, a Brit (and now SFN member) named Crispian, included my "The Supper" spoof with added dialogue as one frame in a larger cartoon. That's entirely copesetic with me. Crispian posted here at SFN about stumbling upon my effort during his search for a copy of The Last Supper for use in his cartoon. Also, he credited me.
I don't know how that also got onto the page you linked to, but that's cool, too. I love the complexities of how some of this stuff goes "viral," and being credited is just a kindly bonus in this case.

Yes, at first, I only had the link to this particular page and could not check it any further.
I now have more info, including the link to the actual blog.
There, I could check that he duly credited you and was relieved.
As for the link, apparently, Kylie Sturgess (Podblack cat from the Australian Skeptic Journal and the Skeptic Zone) mentioned it to Derek.
He posted the page in question to FaceBook but I could not trace it to the original page.
Glad to see it's all kosher... |

I appreciate knowing where my progeny has gone after they've grown up and left the nest. They don't call, don't write, never send gifts.
