Replying to the post "This day in history (Dec. 23 1986)- after nine days and four minutes in the sky Voyager returns to Edwards AFB after flying 25,012 miles around the world. It had just five gallons of fuel left in its remaining operational fuel tank on landing. Here’s the takeoff using 14,200 feet of runway.".

> As a kid, I wrote a letter to Jeana Yeager after this. She very kindly wrote back, we were like pen pals for a minute there. I probably have ~6 letters from her still stashed somewhere.

### u/wondermark in r/comics, May 18, 2024 · Behind the scenes

Replying to a redditor:

> What made you choose to make comics out of old illustrations? Were you into them before you started?

> I answered the first part elsewhere but the answer to the second is, not especially. It was a sort of discovery.
>
> I've now learned so much about the artform and the history and the process that I have a much more informed appreciation for it, but paradoxically, that sometimes makes it harder to make comics out of them!
>
> "How dare I mix this 1902 spot illustration with this 1875 woodcut, the line weights are totally different," that sort of thing. I've invented new problems for myself! Education is a mistake!
