Paris this week

To coincide with this week's international climate change talks in Paris Amanda has submitted this explainer comic by Richard Monastersky & Nick Sousans:

Walk the world

There's a guy who has built a walk-able map of the world in Verdenskortet, Denmark

Abridged history?

I'm not sure I get this one:

At the center of it all

Architecture critic Oliver Wainwright recently went to North Korea and took photos of colorful, symmetrical building interiors.  One of them included this North Korea-centric wall map.

Mapping terror

Mercator truth

Many people have become so used to seeing the Mercator projection of the Earth that there's some confusion about actual sizes of different places on the planet.  Here's an interactive tool to help clarify things.

...and an article to help explain what's going on

Geometric geographical humor

Pacific Northwest joke in Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson

Rule 34

This might be a trigger warning for some.  And if you don't know about Rule 34, here's the explanation

Abducted

So much pun:
So much pun. From Just say eh

Blue marble

Pretty

Really high

From Ahammaday.com.  This one seems a bit off.  Sure, the one astronoaut's looking the wrong way and his buddy is tapping him on the shoulder to turn around, but it just doesn't quite work somehow.

Relieving

This visual trope is a bit familiar (scroll to bottom of that link).  This one is from an article about conservative Canadians screwing up privacy:

 

And isn't the first time we've had a comic involving urine
