Todays Google Logo is celebrating Will Eisner. This link will take you to a short biography. He coined the term 'sequential art'. Now that phrase didn't come up when were were all discussing comics/animation etc.

I have my own picture on the Google desktop page, or whatever
it is called, when it stays there. I has the tendency
to disappear every so often. So I did see the Bunsen
drawing today, and found it impressive.
NOW to read the article. Thanks.

Yuri Alekseyevich Gagarin (Russian: Ю́рий Алексе́евич Гага́рин,[1] Russian pronunciation: [ˈjurʲɪj ɐlʲɪˈksʲeɪvʲɪtɕ ɡɐˈɡarʲɪn]; 9 March 1934 – 27 March 1968) was a Soviet pilot and cosmonaut. He was the first human to journey into outer space when his Vostok spacecraft completed an orbit of the Earth on April 12, 1961.

Mine shows a space suit and flight: as Bran says: Yuri Gagarin. Boy do I remember that. Really got the space race started after the situation with the dog who died in space.

I recall being excited by news of the launch, but devastated by her death. 'Twas the stuff of nightmares.

Google celebrates Charlie Chaplin 122nd birthday. He was born 16th April 1889. Such a talented man, his works are still very watchable.

Celebrating the other ED. I saw it and isn't it great. I was waiting for it to appear on YouTube so I could post it here  (I don't know about copyright for those things, I must look into it, 'cause I could have downloaded it, maybe! ) Earth Day can you open this link, Luke?

I actually lost track of what this thread is talking about.
Earth Day has been around since 1970, the UN celebrates
it on the Vernal Equinox, yesterday in the USA, which
was also Good Friday, and that is more important to me
than ED. Until the government does something about it
all, it is almost a waste of time. You should see the
idiocy regarding recycling in this part of the world.
'Just dig another landfill"- is their attitude. So it is
all mute.
