#06 | 1 Thing/Week

Gonna keep it short & sweet this week because this one speaks for itself. Nathan W. Pyle is a "New York Times best-selling writer & cartoonist living in New York City" -- according to his official, two-sentence Wikipedia page.

But I found him from his new-ish Instagram account dedicated to Strange Planet, a quirky four-panel webcomic about aliens undertaking banal human activities like owning a pet, drinking coffee, exercising, and more.

The literal & precise language of their insightful observations is at the root of the humor -- they describe push-ups as "letdowns" and tea as "hot leaf liquid" (accurate, tbh) -- but the simplicity of the scenes & the drawings themselves are delightful to consume via Instagram while also being absurdly relatable.
