It's still cloudy and raining here, so I still haven't seen Maxx's comet. This photograph was taken over Dunedin in New Zealand.

Everybody gets to see the baybee but mee. Damn, I miss the boy. I'm'a root through the archives, even if Bandicoot hates me for it. Love and Bandicootie hugs, Centaur.
Such a plushy-tailed comet. Love that Maxx.
Dr. Barmpot, you're so right. Because Maxx was a virtual love, he is never really gone, for me. Poor 4Legs has to live with the reality of Maxx' absence. I'd send Gojira through the wormhole to console you, 4Legs, but the little wretch doesn't much like dogs, which means Arthur J. can't help her visit.
Hanging out in the New Zealand sky is what I'd do, if I ever merited a comet ride in the after life.
Glad Maxx has the chance, but then, he earned it. I haven't … yet.
Even if the comet's head is only visible in the southern hemisphere at this point I have heard reports of people in the northern hemisphere observing the tail of the comet as it sticks out over the horizon.
It probably requires a really dark sky however. I'm going to try seeing it from the backyard with a nebular filter. I'm glad little Maxx got such a magnificent tribute to his passing.
