So you made it! You made it to the very first Harold the Astronaut comic. Welcome. Let’s make introductions.

Harold the Astronaut is a webcomic about an astronaut stranded on the Moon. There, he discovers the Miracle Machine, a machine that produces daily miracles, and Sally, the Machine’s Neptunian caretaker. Because Harold very much wants to escape the Moon, he must–

–well, let me just quote from the comic itself: “Harold must endure the Machine’s daily miracles in the hope that one will return him to Earth!”

For right now, Harold the Astronaut is weekly, every Wednesday. But if things go well, that frequency is likely to increase.

Feel free to share Harold the Astronaut by either using the hovering click-down menu or following the links in the “Follow Harold” box above. Even stuck on the Moon, Harold has both a Facebook page and a Twitter account.

Finally: two Harold the Astronaut strips are appearing in the first issue of Carbon Copy Magazine, a pop-culture lit journal. Follow this link for ways to purchase issues of Carbon Copy and support a fantastic magazine.

Thanks for your interest! And see you next Wednesday.
