JAVA JAGUAR (a webcomic)
by Matt S. Law (a webcomic creator)
How many sci-fi Easter eggs can you spot? I count 5 franchises but I may have included some unintentional ones as well.
I've mentioned before how I am more productive when I am homeless. Well, I just uploaded this Java Jaguar strip on Tuesday from Panera. See, homeless for two nights and I'm already two days ahead on comic publishing. Maybe I should find a spot to park my van by a river and just stay homeless for a year to finish up like six Kickman trade paperbacks and my 3-part novel series. Maybe also get that online seminary degree I've been meaning to get.
Oh, wait. I forgot I need food and stuff. And electricity.
Boilerplate:
JAVA JAGUAR is a webcomic based on the true story of a talking jaguar cub found in a coffee shop. Yes, I said based on the true story. Java Jaguar is produced by the nomadic cartoonist, Matt S. Law, on his mobile art studio consisting of Clip Studio Paint Pro on a Microsoft Surface Pro 7+.

Created in Clip Studio Paint Pro on a Surface Pro 4. Here is the time lapse video.
They could try Ludicrous Speed. At least he correctly uses Parsecs as distance and not time.
Any space story has to find some way to navigate the vast distances. Physics doesn't seem to allow it, so just make something up.

Star Wars fans have had to twist themselves into pretzels to make sense of Han's statement. The prevailing (theory?) is that the Kessel Space Run goes through a series of black holes, so that flying straight through involves certain death. A daring captain will cut corners on the route to make it shorter by going close to the event horizons. So, flying the Kessel Run in under 12 parsecs is actually a super difficult feat.
Or Lucas just didn't know.
Movies make plenty of physics mistakes. Anyway, why would they use our measurement units? A parsec there may be for time.
I like to brag about how "I ran a marathon in under 6 miles."
