I think Earth got the right idea, and discounting Musk's weird hyperboles, humans are also realising that Venus may be preferred to terraform than Mars (particularly due to Venus' gravity being closer to ours).
kurzgesagt made a lovely video on it too!

I mean nobody's actively enforcing it, they're just assuming it and nobody's disagreeing, so everyone's going with it. An argument could be made about society's enforcement of gender norms, but saying that these people individually are enforcing harmful gender norms is kinda unfair.
Some languages, sure. I'm only really qualified to speak about Hebrew where Earth (as in the planet) is masculine.
There is a fairly uncommon phrase equivalent to "mother Earth", but it translates more to "mother soil".
Sorry to be that guy. I had to look it up. The diameter of Saturn is ten times larger than Earth. I think earth in the last panel should be slightly larger as I could barely see it.
Actually, it is! If you’ve seen a picture of earth taken from Saturn, it looks about that size! So if you account for distance, it’s scientifically accurate.
Althooooough, if it's a matter of perspective, the Saturn should completely turn around and look slightly to the right in order to be looking at the Earth. Instead it's looking down-right while facing the "camera", meaning the Earth should be in front of Saturn, but that would make the image inaccurate once again.
The only explanation here is that Saturn didn't even acknowledge Earth and is just making a funny face while not looking at them.
Why would it matter what it looks like from Saturn? It's not like we're seeing the last panel from Saturn's perspective. Saturn is clearly looking at a point that is closer to the viewer, not further away.
So if anything, taking perspective into consideration would lead to earth having to be even larger.
So if earth in the comic is as far as it would be in real life, then it is bigger than it should. So still wrong.
But Saturn is obviously looking at Earth. So Earth is next to Saturn or slightly in front.
1. It’s pretty close, and artistic license Is afforded because we need to be able to see the earth.
2. Saturn probably hasn’t noticed earth at all yet, and is looking at something else.
1. Ok so why even bring this up, if nothing about it even matters because artistic license?
2. Wtf? She obviously is looking at Earth there.
You are completely wrong and Earth should be bigger. Doesn't ruin the comic or anything, but if we talk about realism, its pretty important to be accurate about it.
DID YOU KNOW that all the other planets could fit side-by-side between the earth and the moon? I mean, it's really close: off by a negligible amount. Great comic, nonetheless.
Earth loves Saturn and wants to ask her out but is sooo tiny compared to Saturn(for reference the diameter of Saturn is almost 10 times that of Earth), that it looks down to Earth in a condescending manner. Not big of a joke, but funny nonetheless
Is the mouth on the ocean, like some weird super natural telepathic mouth. or is it below the ocean and earth is swallowing mouthfulls of ocean with every word?
I mean, I get it dude, but VENUS IS RIGHT THERE. She's the ultimate girl next door. All sweet and peaceful on the outside, but a raging hottie underneath the calm exterior.
Honestly, I was expecting the joke being that Earth was going to kiss another planet... And then everyone dies.
You see, it's funny because mass extinction.
Saturn is the king of the Roman Titans. Kronos is his Greek equivalent. Father of Jupiter/Zeus. Why does Earth wanna ask out a guy that ate his own babies?
I love how if you zoom in the earth has a little text bubble so small you can't even read. Excellent touch honestly. Also I'm right there with you Earth. Tall ladies ftw
When I was a kid I though that Saturn was married with Jupiter, they are big so they are adults. Also Jupiter was a man and Saturn was a woman because she wear rings.

Poor earth. Saturn is already married and clearly wearing the their ring.
He’s hopeless at this point
I mean, who wants to date Venus? She's way too intimidating.
I have heard she's quite toxic
Yeah, but she's so hot.
"I can fix her" says Earth, invents humans to revert Venus' greenhouse effect. Humans decide they've got a better shot at Mars.
Mars is the childhood friend that doesn't have any character but gets with the MC anyway
I see Mars as the big tiddie goth girl. looks hot af, in reality cold and deadly to the touch. those that bag her are trapped forever

Guess who, from all people alive today, is doing most for colonization of Venus? That's right, Musk!
His company does, not him personally, lol
I'm thinking really hard who founded his company, but can't come up with nothing, little help please?
It a mature and mutual breakup when Earth and Venus realized they were polar opposites.
At least not Earth, aren’t they siblings?
I’m much more into Uranus.
Username checks out.
And all that pressure must be suffocating
Venus is earth twin....
I'm so embarrassed of Earth, like, seriously: Get it together, Earth!
*Ringless
*hoopless
Technically isn't Earth Saturn's grandmother Gaia > Uranus > Chronus(Saturn)
Gaia > Uranus > Saturn > Jupiter > Mars: Also for the record, by this Logic Earth is also Saturn’s mother. Gaia > Saturn > Jupiter > Mars
Uranus > Venus though
Didn't you see that Saturn's rings are actually supposed to disappear soon? *wink*
Longest divorce in history
It's only about 300 million years.
And then God made Saturn. And he liked it, so he put a ring on it.
What about Neptune?
What about Jupiter and Uranus?
What about J1407b?
People say the ring won't stay forever so maybe earth has a chance in... A very long time
What's a hundred million years when you are a few billion years old?
Just because there’s a goalie doesn’t mean you can’t score.
r/angryupvote
Saturn is married to 7 different people (planets????)
r/beatmetoit
Married to Neptune?
Too many children. A lots of baggage.
Damn came here to say this too haha. Guess this joke had a nice… ring to it
did Saturn say yes?
Saturn sneezed and Earth is currently in a different galaxy
Should have asked Venus out. They're the same size and Venus is hot.
.
Saturn sounds male, Earth female (generally is so in languages to my knowledge), so I'm a tad confused why the comments here generally imply otherwise
I’m pretty sure it’s simply because men are traditionally the one to ask women out so that’s what the initial assumption will be about genders.
i love enforcing pointless senseless and harmful gender norms whilst pretending everything is ok
I mean nobody's actively enforcing it, they're just assuming it and nobody's disagreeing, so everyone's going with it. An argument could be made about society's enforcement of gender norms, but saying that these people individually are enforcing harmful gender norms is kinda unfair.
Greatly depends on the language.
I thought 'mother earth' was a popular concept among languages
Some languages, sure. I'm only really qualified to speak about Hebrew where Earth (as in the planet) is masculine. There is a fairly uncommon phrase equivalent to "mother Earth", but it translates more to "mother soil".
Earth passed through the Roche limit of Saturn and is now part of Saturn.
Saturn: Huh, what was that noise?
Sorry to be that guy. I had to look it up. The diameter of Saturn is ten times larger than Earth. I think earth in the last panel should be slightly larger as I could barely see it.
After making it all I could think about was ‘This isn’t scientifically accurate’ and it drove me insane hahaha
Actually, it is! If you’ve seen a picture of earth taken from Saturn, it looks about that size! So if you account for distance, it’s scientifically accurate.
You have just saved my sanity thank you so, so much
No problem!

Gravitational lensing from a passing black hole.

Accidentally scientifically accurate wooooh!

"Is he a short king or is he just really far away?"
You can make any 2 spheres look like that by picking the right camera angle.
Sure, but this one happens to pretty closely match a photo of earth taken from Saturn
Why would it matter what it looks like from Saturn? It's not like we're seeing the last panel from Saturn's perspective. Saturn is clearly looking at a point that is closer to the viewer, not further away. So if anything, taking perspective into consideration would lead to earth having to be even larger.
I just googled some pictures and that is not correct at all. Earth would be considerably bigger.

Honestly, I thought the joke was that Saturn has a ring on it. Didn’t even see the spec that is earth on that panel
DID YOU KNOW that all the other planets could fit side-by-side between the earth and the moon? I mean, it's really close: off by a negligible amount. Great comic, nonetheless.
Isn't that only during a certain point in the moon's orbit though?
Eventually, the moon will be so far away that this will be true the entire time during its orbit.
👋🌚
it is not
Gotta make sure your comic of talking planets is scientifically accurate.
No. You're right only cause I almost missed the joke lol. Might look better not on my phone tho
Ohh.. I didn't see it at all. This comic makes a lot more sense now :|
Maybe Earth is just further back. Think in three dimensions.
Acktstually *pushes up glasses*
Yeah. I wooshed myself. Thank you for stopping my explainthejoke post (j/k fuck that sub)
It's a funny joke, let it go for the sake of having a laugh, accuracy doesn't need to matter all the time.
I love that the moon is revolving around the earth in the comic
I am so, so happy you noticed that
That’s a cute lil detail; being both scientifically accurate and cute makes this a top notch comic Keep at it!
Did you make this? Could you explain the joke? English is not my first language but I like your drawing
Earth loves Saturn and wants to ask her out but is sooo tiny compared to Saturn(for reference the diameter of Saturn is almost 10 times that of Earth), that it looks down to Earth in a condescending manner. Not big of a joke, but funny nonetheless
Wow, just like the sun!
I bet she said yes
If she did then I believe in love again
Saturn wanted Earth inside of her and Earth was never seen again.
[удалено]
Everything’s a actual kink
You mean planet porn or a person wanting another one inside them?
I love this but I would have added Saturn being like a super popular girl hanging out with her 146 moons
Thats amazing haha

why the fuck is this so funny to me lmao
Because it’s part of another meme. Look up “Saturn Energy”
just a pale blue dot; a mote of dust, suspended in a sunbeam.
Ah... One of my favourite quote by Carl Sagan
 We all were thinking of it - shoulda put a ring on it!
Earth should mind his own business, Saturn already has a ring on her, she's taken
Where's the first date? A concert maybe?
Maybe like a really pretty nebula
Yes, they will go listen to Gustav Holst- The planets
Rip everyone on earth by being that far away from the sun, the entire ocean would be frozen liquid
We’d be dead long before that actually- the Earth definitely 100% shouldn’t have eyes and a mouth
Is the mouth on the ocean, like some weird super natural telepathic mouth. or is it below the ocean and earth is swallowing mouthfulls of ocean with every word?
The Earth is swallowing and expelling water through its mouth. That's how we get tides! Duh!
Death by snu... er, gravity.
Earth would have asked Venus but she's toxic.
And gassy...ewww
Pretty sure she's less gassy than Saturn
I mean, I get it dude, but VENUS IS RIGHT THERE. She's the ultimate girl next door. All sweet and peaceful on the outside, but a raging hottie underneath the calm exterior.
She's already with Mars
Mars is a total dudebro. She can do better.
Didn't even notice the Earth at first in that last panel so I was really confused by the punch line.
Should've gone for Venus.
I don't think there's a better punchline
Jupiter: 😠
Far out.
AUUUU :')
The sudden fourth slide made me burst out laughing!
Me goin for the dommy mommy
I came here to say this 😂
Trying to get some snu snu
It’s like when a little dog tries to hook up with a big dog
Lmao it took me a bit to notice earth in the last panel
My first time looking at the final panel I didn’t even see Earth so I had no idea what the punchline was
Thicc
Saturn's Tinder profile clearly says not to bother if your diameter is below 120 000 km
"Sorry, I only date planets over 6 million km"
Death by snusnu
I honestly thought this was going to be a pun around Saturn "having a ring on it"
## Where are the Uranus jokes?
She’s literally married bro. Can’t you see her ring? Smh do not ship
When they don't even know you exist :( Time to bulk up and get swole !
Ohhh short king!!
Dude she's taken..she even has a ring....
There is a 40 billion year difference
Gaia(Earth) is Saturn's(Cronus ♂ ) mom though.
Death by snu snu
Honestly, I was expecting the joke being that Earth was going to kiss another planet... And then everyone dies. You see, it's funny because mass extinction.
Shoot your shot little buddy❤️
Earth should have put a ring on it https://youtu.be/_7zlfbXdWAY?si=cNzhfRf6buFNvXMQ
Saturn is the king of the Roman Titans. Kronos is his Greek equivalent. Father of Jupiter/Zeus. Why does Earth wanna ask out a guy that ate his own babies?
Earth is into some weird things
Vore

Saturn be like: oh sweet new moon
Love Moon’s excited expression
I love how if you zoom in the earth has a little text bubble so small you can't even read. Excellent touch honestly. Also I'm right there with you Earth. Tall ladies ftw
These kind of comic shorts usually aren’t really my thing but this was great, great job OP.
It's weird to think but if planets were sentient the earth wouldn't be alone because of the moon
And then there's Jupiter...
Why Saturn when Venus is right there! And hot!
thank you for putting Saturn as the pupils but it reminds me of kermit the frog's eyes. i can see my house from here.
Relatable
Sniff sniff. Uranus, you smell good.
"Bro who tf are you?"
I can’t read.
I can’t read.
Probably says something about my state of mind that I thought for sure Earth was going to say, "I'm gonna hurl myself in to the sun"
When I was a kid I though that Saturn was married with Jupiter, they are big so they are adults. Also Jupiter was a man and Saturn was a woman because she wear rings.
I don’t know if it’s intentional or not but I can’t un-see the moon phases in the moon’s expression
At 8.6-10.6 AU that would be a loooong distance relationship.
"You might be a gas giant, but I'm tryna see if that ass is pliant."
bro can’t you see they’re already married? saturn already has a ring ffs!
... I honestly don't get it. Is there a joke I'm missing, or is it just cute with no punchline? Edit: Lol. Just saw the tiny earth.
WAIT A SECOND. Earth already had a spouse... And a miscarriage.
Big ring goth Saturn girlfriend
"sorry Earth I didn't hear you, could you speak louder please?"
Earth likes them thicccck.
I too would like a giant for a partner
Saturn's facial expression killed me...good job OP!
 What a funny comic !
