How to Begrudgingly Admit Somebody Might Be Right

Added 2023-09-18 07:00:03 +0000 UTC

Charles Lindbergh has a ... complicated legacy.

That said, one has to admit that his achievement of being the first person to fly solo, non-stop, from New York to Paris is impressive. It is made more impressive by the fact that, as I say in this comic, he did it in a plane with no front window. You might think that means his face was exposed to the wind, but that would be wrong. He was inside a cockpit.

That cockpit had no window at the front.

If he looked forward, all he saw was his instrument panel. You might be wondering, how he saw out the front of the plane to land. I always assumed he hung his head out the side like a dog in a car, but it turns out he used a periscope.

Now you know.

There is a new, much better (because Missy designed it) version of the Smarter than a Monkey, Cheaper than a Robot graphic. It is available on shirts for him, shirts for her, and coffee mugs. If that sounds appropriate to your level of self esteem, please check them out!
