Here we have young scientist Emil Racoviță explaining the Aurora austral to the Antarctic penguins. Later he became a renowned biologist, zoologist and speleologist, but one of his greatest achievements was going in 1897 on a research expedition to Antarctica, aboard the ship Belgica (it was the first expedition to winter in the Antarctic region). Now, on the ship Emil did plenty of awesome science things, but this is what I like most: the ship got stuck in ice for more than a year, and at some point people got pretty depressed. So in order to keep the spirits up, every evening Emil would do a cartoon of the day's events. Here's one of them (yes, in the corner it's written "universe specialist (?) explaining Aurore austral to the inhabitants of the South Pole").

Day 33 - Something you want *edit*
You don't want anything if you're wearing a poncho.
EDIT
I did want to put some Indian Ink on it. And scan it. Also I want to do it again, VInce looks like Dream.
Also, I rewatched that episode of Mighty Boosh and turns out I mis-remembered that line. It really is "You're always happy when you're wearing a poncho."

Day 32 - Something I don't understand *edit*
I don't get my head around the economy. Or finances. So little it's not even enough for more than this unoriginal caricature.
Sometimes I have a few friends who are working in business explain a few things to me and it's a fascinating topic but franky, I don't even understand how our monetary system works.
EDIT
I brushed it up a bit and scanned it, too.
