I wonder if I am the only one who thinks of Night of the Lepus when reading this NY Times article regarding the clean up at the Hanford Nuclear Reservation:
Even Rabbit Droppings Count in Nuclear Cleanup
It's a pretty interesting article that's worth checking out.

Boxcar Astronaut #135: Diogee’s secret origin!
Greetings, Fellow Astronauts! Our hero is still suffering the effects of amnesia, failing to recognize his faithful dog, Diogee. It's up to Devin to try to jog Ben's memory by explaining to him how Diogee got his unusual name. Is the bond between boy and dog stronger than the amnesia? Can anything bring Ben back to normal? Is there any hope? Keep tuning in to Boxcar Astronaut for all the answers!

Boxcar Astronaut #134: Are you ready for some football?
Greetings, Fellow Astronauts... or should I say Quarterbacks? Strange things are afoot in the backyard ever since Ben fell out of the tree and bumped his head. With his memory gone, Ben's mind has begun to forge a new persona. Gone, it seems, are the whimsical days of imaginary spaceships, toy blasters, and plastic space helmets. Now Ben's attentions have turned to touchdowns, field goals, and padded football helmets. Is this the end of life as we know it in the backyard? Can Devin find away to get Ben's memories back? Will we have to change the name of this strip to Box Score Quarterback?! Find out all the answers in the weeks to come in Boxcar Astronaut!
PS: Boxcar Astronaut artist Marc Lapierre will launching a new webcomic on Monday called Spooky Doofus. It can be found at http://www.spookydoofus.com.
