IFAQ (InFrequently Asked Questions)

Q:Why are Cosmo and Astro teachers?
A: They used to be students, but they graduated.

Q: Which one is which?
A: That's on a need-to-know basis. Usually, you don't need to know. Sometimes, you do, and I'll tell you.

Q: Why are they here?
A: They've been given an assignment from their home planet, sort of like the Peace Corps, to come to a primitive planet (like Earth) and show us how to get things done in the classroom. And to say things that we normally wouldn't notice because we live here.

Q: How can I get more comics?
A: Check out the index above. "Like" or "Share" on Facebook and the Facebook algorithm will move it on to your newsfeed more frequently.

Q: How often do you publish?
A: Whenever I get an idea. Roughly one per day, but sometimes there might be a few days in between.

A: I should think the answer is self-evident.
Q: Do you believe in time travel?

Q: Can I get a signed comic?
A: Yes, send me a message with your mailing address, and I'll sign one and send it to you. I reserve the right to end this practice if I get famous. When. When I get famous.

Q: Where do you get your ideas?
A: I am inspired by Scott Adams. This comic is intended to be Dilbert for Teachers. In Space. Or Rather, With Space Aliens. Just keep reading, it'll make sense.

Q: What relationship do Cosmo and Astro have? Are they brothers, or what?
A: Not related, simply roommates. There's no implied personal relationship other than they are friends on an alien planet.

Q: Will there be a book?
A: Eventually, if I can persuade myself enough people will buy it. Tell me you want it. That helps.
