HEY did you know I drew a seventeen page comic for the new Iron Circus comic anthology, FTL Y’all? The one that’s currently live on Kickstarter? This is one of those pages! The sixth one!
FTL Y’all is a collection of short stories about cheap and easily accessible faster than light engines, and what immediately struck me about the prompt is that it would revolutionize on-planet transport. So I wrote a story about a girl and her two bickering uncles going on a mundane weekend outing to a different continent, and definitely nothing goes terribly wrong!

One of the common names of this plant is pineappleweed, due to the shape of the flower heads and the smell they emit when crushed, but is also known as wild chamomile, whichis what I have always called it in Italian, as the plant is related to the true chamomile, Matricaria chamomilla. The plant is actually native to North America and Northeastern Asia, but I have observed it both in Italy and in Scotland.
The unopened flower heads are also edible, although I have never tried them -takes note for next spring- and the plant has historically been used in a number of treatments in traditional medicine.
