    It’s an airburst, close by, and they’re looking at it, from behind a pane of glass. Probably a state actor, aiming for maximum damage. If they’re not blinded by looking directly at it, they’re about to get glass thrown at their face. Bad scenario for long term survival, they’re likely a goner.

      Hopefully they can finish the dishes before the shockwave arrives. I doubt they want the post apocalyptic raiders thinking that they were a bit of a slob.

    The attention to detail in this comic is pretty great, I like how you can see the blood vessels in his ears in the 3rd panel from the light of the nuclear blast

      I agree. It’s also interesting how the hair thing has a skull (see 2nd panel).

      But there is of course room for improvement. If you look at the window for example, it has a nice normal modern handle, but it’s blatantly missing the window sill and the hinges. :)

      Thank you for noticing! I love to put in a detail or more than necessary to reward people who take their time to look at my stuff. :) also there’s broccoli on the plates, shaped like the atomic explosion.

    Hey! At least it’s not like they just finished washing the dishes.

    Just Greek wedding those things and find a cool pose to get vaporized in.

      Hard to tell how far away that is… fam might be vaporized but more likely to be wiped out by the blast I think? Still might be worthwhile to shut eyes, duck and cover, and start crawling to the basement or center of the house if possible.

        Well bigger than their thumb for sure.

        And do you really want to survive after a nuclear blast decimates the area and rains radiation down upon you?
        When a nuke goes off I personally want to be as close to 0 I can be to it or on the opposite side of the planet. That’s it.

        Likely they are in range of the sonic boom that will deafen them and shatter the house at best and the resulting vacuum would create a fire storm that sucks in, to a horrible inferno. If you see the blast it’s too late for most things but never to late to shout:
        Opa! And throw some plates.
