Oh and it happens right after Lois sings 'Fly Me to the Moon!' CK flies her right off and proposes to her... can you see the black patch behind her? That's where her oxygen tank should be... but I decided not to draw that because you can't exactly call kissing with an oxygen mask romantic, can you?

Okay. In the interest of superior rodents everywhere, I demand that if there are going to be moon hares, there should be at least a moon rat. Fair's fair. :p LabRat

Coolgirl's is the closest, but not quite. The other one is the one that I have been finding. Really, I think we need a Superman Comic fan to find this one... I will try my own hand at rendering it... ok, this is my horrible rendition... James

The moon rats are on the other side, Lab. That, and inside the craters. Eating all the cheese where we can't see them.
When in doubt, think about penguins. It probably won't help, but at least it'll be fun.

LabRat Sorry, LabRat, but that can't be allowed and I will employ the millennia-old rules of logic to explain why: Fact 1: rats eat cheese Fact 2: the moon is, as everyone knows, entirely made of cheese Conclusion: the moon (space?) rat would start nibbling the cheese Consequences: the moon would lose part of its mass, thus the delicate balance between earth and moon would be destroyed; there would be floods, disasters and the earth would tumble into space. And if that should happen, I say good luck with shouting "Superman to the rescue." Solution: no rats beyond the stratosphere Sorry, LabRat, but you can't defy logic Best, Eva

Consequences: the moon would lose part of its mass, thus the delicate balance between earth and moon would be destroyed; there would be floods, disasters and the earth would tumble into space. Hmm... I'm not sure that's completely true... you see I think I read somewhere (must be in that Physics class when the professor sent me out but I peeked in through the window to see what fun they were having without me) If the MoonRats (no LabRats there, unless we send a rocket there and bring some down to the Earth laboratories for research) were to eat some/ the whole moon (without the core) then you see, part of the moon's mass would go into the MoonRat's stomach and so the moon wouldn't lose its mass. It's mass would be within the MoonRat's stomach... something to do with the concept... The total energy of the Universe is constant (as is the energy of an isolated object) Is there such a law, or am I imagining it? Okay, anyway I consider the moon to be as isolated as the Earth, even if it is made of cheese (But wouldn't the solar heat melt it! ) again! I'm in a quasi-scientific mood today! *sigh*

And no, moon cheese is naturally impregnated with anti-solar-melting-fluid, didn't you know ...

Ah, the power of google: The Moon Lady Reading A Book I can't find the comic, sorry. All I know is that it's one of the many I haven't read.

Okay, moon cheese lost into space in the form of gas ? But won't the moon gravity hold that tiny bit of air around it. I know moon doesn't have enough gravity to hold an atmosphere like that of the Earth. But the escape velocity of MoonRat's fart would be so less that it would create a layer of gas (will cheese break into elemental nitrogen and ammonia? Quasi-Scientist in me again!) which, no doubt, would stink! So, matter won't be lost... it'd just be revolving around the moon, preventing anybody else from entering.

LOL. Well, I'm sure the MoonRats would be glad to know that "In Space, No One Can Hear You..." fart.
Oh, by the way, how much mass does a fart really have? And what about when men landed on the moon? That didn't throw off the moon's orbit, I don't think. Besides, wouldn't moondust float off from them running around? Also, just how do the rats breathe, how many do we have to have, and if the moon really is made of cheese, why haven't we started importing it yet for goodness' sake?! Yeesh.
I think, therefore, I get bananas.
When in doubt, think about time travel conundrums. You'll confuse yourself so you can forget what you were in doubt about.
What's the difference between ignorance, apathy, and ambivalence? I don't know and I don't care one way or the other.

if the moon really is made of cheese, why haven't we started importing it yet for goodness' sake?! Oh no! We can't do that... you see, the mass of the moon will reduce at a rapid rate, and that would cause all those environmental disasters Eva mentioned such as cyclones, tsunamis, earthquakes... Besides that mass would be additional on Earth and will have a great impact on its velocity (assuming its Kinetic Energy is constant) and we would have days longer than 24 hours... EDIT : (oh! that's rotation) ... actually an year would be having 370 days? Are there any scientists here? BTW did you know that initially, when the Earth was still an infant, one *day* on Earth was equal to almost 22 hours.

I guess the astronauts' space suits would contain their farts, wouldn't they? And then the astronauts wouldn't be launched off the the moon by their own biological "jet pulses". But I know Terry wrote a terry-fic piece called "In Space, No One Can Hear You...." where Lois served Clark rumaki, and Clark had to flee into space in order to...relieve himself of some gas. I guess he would be bobbing up and down as he farted, as the farts would certainly leak through his suit, thus giving him a push in the opposite direction! (I mean, imagine if his suit actually contained the farts: it would swell up so that Clark would eventually look like Balloon Man! Literally full of gas!)
But James, seriously: the picture I showed you is the astronomically accepted Lady in the Moon, the one amateur astronomers are told to try to spot, when they want a "moon challenge". It's possible, of course, that the comic book people had heard of a Lady in the Moon, but if they didn't know what feature that really was, they may have drawn another lunar lady. But in that case, unless you can find your comic book again, don't expect to be able to identify it.

Anyone who's ever read Watership Down, by Richard Adams knows the rabbit in the moon is El-ahrairah...but I don't think he farts...

What I want to know is where all the milk came from to make that giant hunk of cheese.
Passing herd of giant space cows?

Oh, don't you know? It came from the Milky Way!
There is a whole galaxy of milk existing on the Universe ever since its birth... sadly nobody knows how it came to be... (probably during the Big Bang, the golden egg burst and spilled milk all over!)

This is the source of the Milky Way. The Greek god Zeus had fathered an illegitimate child, Hercules (or Heracles). Hercules' mother was a mere human, but Zeus wanted his son to drink some mother's milk from a goddess, so he laid his son by his wife Hera's breast. When Hera noticed what was going on, she tore away Hercules from her breast, but her milk pumped out like a jet stream all across the heavens, creating the Milky Way. (Well, that's obvious, isn't it?) Ann

That's what mythology says! My quasi-scientific mind mixes all theories up and comes up with something more hilarious than that, which my husband doesn't want me to reveal for he's afraid I might... well he's afraid!!! Well, that's specific indeed!

Here's the sky myth MY hubby likes: SAFFRON Do you know the myth of Earth-that-was?
WASH Not so much.
SAFFRON That when she was born, she had no sky, and was open, inviting. And the stars would rush into her, through the skin of her. Making the oceans boil with sensation. And when she could endure no more ecstasy, she puffed up her cheeks and blew out the sky.
...course that don't explain how El-ahrairah got up there...
