I've had this idea for a few months, and wasn't sure if it would fit with this project, but I think it does in its commentary on global warming, which is rather superficial, but the more reminders of it we have the better, right? And if they have a sense of humor, than we can laugh a little and then go, oh, yeah, well, hmm....
The joke evolved a little bit since I first thought of it. Originally it was supposed to be two kids as if sitting in a class room and the one is sick, playing with a toy rocket (Earth). The other (Mars) wants to play with the rocket but, the teacher or somebody warns him, you don't want to get what Earth's got, do you? (humans, making us analogous to some sort of sickness or virus that's making Earth sick, giving him a fever (global warming)). But, this is what I decided to go with in the end. The explanation of the rocket is lessened without the toy rocket context, but...hopefully it still works well.
So I jumped in to drawing it pretty quick, scanned, and finished it in Photoshop. But, it seems to have worked out well. I think it has a pretty cohesive, relatively Threadless-esque style and good finish. So, I'll submit it and see how it does!
