Restraining map of the stars

We haven't done a "Map of the Stars" gag in a while.  Here's one from Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller.  Are there "Apps of the Stars"? Yes, of course there are (not to be confused with apps for stargazing).  Have "Apps of the Stars" put the "Maps of the Stars" vendors out of business?  I dunno.  Economics thesis anyone?

Geography statement

A familiar refrain.

Happy new year.  May this next one not suck.

Doonesbury Two-fer... multi-fer

Don't miss the fun extended two-fer at the end of this post!

For today's Tuesday Two-fer I'm just going to post the entire story arc from Doonesbury about the idea to use celebrity voices to give directions on consumer-grade GPS devices.

Stars' clothes

Mike Peters gives us another "map to the stars" gag in this Mother Goose & Grimm. Here's one that I posted previously. I gotta say, this is the only sort of "map to the stars" I'd ever buy.

And, if you're at all interested, here's an article explaining the recent dust up about the changes in astrological signs. I missed out on being one of the new Ophiuchus by just a day, which is kind of a bummer. Not that it matters.  I was happy enough being a Sagittarius. But now it appears that I'm a Scorpio, which sucks 'cause my older brother's a Scorpio and, while I love him, I don't know that I wanna be like him... But it's all OK 'cause now he's a Libra.

First choice: Little Richard

Donald Reilly had this oddity about Little Richard in The New Yorker in June of 1989. I think it only barely qualifies as map related. 

Is alien celebrities redundent?

This is a cartoon by Mick Stevens that was submitted to The New Yorker, and possibly even accepted and paid for, but is listed as unpublished... which is odd. Maybe it was part of the The New Yorker's "Rejection Collection" anthologies of unpublished cartoons?

Map to the crime scenes of the stars

 Tom Cheney had this published in The New Yorker in February of 1998.  The "Map to the stars" gag is relatively common among map-related comics.

Falling stars

Ah, the joys of the "Great Recession" of the 'naughts! This comic by Bill Schorr ran over the summer.

Not Astronomy

Another example from Mike Peters' Mother Goose and Grimm, this time with Grimm and Atilla the Cat trying their turn at paparazzi. And of course they need a map. And of course hilarity ensues.
