Back in 2020, people complained about the poorly translated Russian. This made me a little sad, because I had the Russian stuff translated by an actual Russian person I happen to know. Talk about high expectations. Apparently there are more than one versions of Russian, idk.
For the younglings, who understandably might not know the reference: movie director Stanley Kubrick was supposedly involved in making/faking the Apollo 11 moon landing. (for the record: I do NOT believe any of this stuff.)

I do like the joke that the moon landing was faked by Stanley Kubrick, but that he was such an auteur that he would only do it if he could film on location. :)
Fun comic!
It’s wrong, though. Kubrick hated travelling and filming on location. He had NASA send astronauts to the moon to shoot the backgrounds, but filmed everything in London. (As part of the payment, he got the lens he used to film Barry Lyndon, which had been designed to film the dark side of the moon and allowed him to shoot scenes lit only by candlelight).
The dark side of the moon isn’t dark, btw. It gets as much light as the other side.
If we’re getting pedantic, you’re talking about the far side of the Moon, not the dark side. The dark side is the side that isn’t lit and that changes over the lunar cycle.
Love it, congrats on 4 years! It’s awesome to have at least one creator posting their own comics directly on Lemmy :)
Yeah. I haven’t seen any of my “colleagues” here. 😕
Loading artist?
I’ve seen his comics here, but I’m quite sure Greg doesn’t post them himself.
Hm. The account is called loading artist, so I just assumed it was him.
Oh, wait. My bad. I looked a little harder and he DOES post his own stuff…. and so does a bunch of other people.
Well. As long as they credit the creator it’s all fine, I guess. 🤷♂️
