Some websites, generally pornographic in nature, display ads that purport to know of females “in your area” that wish to have sex on the viewer of the ad. Recently, these ads have begin matching the user’s IP address with a physical location (usually a city) through a process called Geo targeting. With this information the advertisers can more easily trick people into clicking their ads, since by specifying the user’s actual city they can appear more targeted and legitimate.
While viewing a pornographic website, the Author noticed one of these deceptive ads and thought aloud, “wouldn’t it be funny if I were in some wacky location that couldn’t possibly have local girls, so that this ad I am looking at would display that wacky location? That would be funny.” After a bit of research, he decided to use space as the fictitious setting for his new comic strip.
As you can see, the two astronauts have humorous ads that claim there are girls in “low earth orbit,” which is funny because even if there were, it would be quite difficult to “meet” them.
Note: the pornographic females in the last panel of this strip have significantly more detailed hair than the scientist female (or nearly any other character in previous strips). This is due to the fact that the Author spent much more time drawing them, as he enjoys drawing women as sexual symbols more than as intellectual characters.
