Oh damn, this basically embodies my comment in another thread. I hope to live to see it return.
I thought it was a far side comic I saw as a kid, but after googling it I couldn’t find the original source.
I searched using Google lens and not a single result credited the artist
I was obsessed with space for a while when I was pretty young. I remember finding out that I saw Halley’s comet when I was a baby, and became convinced that I’d live long enough to see it come back again, or even die once it returned. I guess I was a little bit morbid or looking for some sort of meaning to life.
So anyway, this is the beginning of my mid-life crisis.
Author Mark Twain was born during the comet and stated he would go out with it, and did!

Depends on next year’s elections results
The comet doesn’t care.
Yeah, humans are kinda like the HIV of species, so we’ll be around.
Depending on your definition of species, HIV is the HIV of species.
Aphelion Day!
Oh weird. I heard the same thing about 6 weeks ago, either there’s some imprecision in the measurement or poor reporting
