Some Old Hurricane Art (+ Bonus Supercell)

Hi. You probably remember me as the person who posts weird art and writing involving sapient hurricanes. I normally would wait until hurricane season to post but I'm having my weather obsession come back right now after it disappeared for a while and I wanted to post something while I'm in this kind of mood.

Sorry for disappearing for a few years. I was busy wrapping up my PhD and then getting settled into a postdoctoral position. I basically wasn't thinking at all about weather, just astrophysics, so I didn't do any new weather-related art.

I haven't had the chance to make any new art yet, but I do have some old art I never posted here that I thought I might share.

Here is an old comic where Hurricane Andrew (the one with the headband) asks the Labor Day Hurricane of 1935 (the one with the helmet) whether hurricanes should say they are hungry or thirsty when they want more warm seawater.

I was partially inspired by a Tumblr post that said "do you ever get water hungry?" and someone was like "You mean thirsty?" and the OP said "No, water hungry."

As a bonus, here is an other old comic that has new relevance now that I live in Dixie Alley:

I was thinking of how Goku in Dragon Ball rides on a cloud called "the flying nimbus" but the cloud just looks like a generic cumulus cloud. So my thoughts went to "what if it was an *actual* nimbus cloud like a cumulonimbus" which then became "personal supercell mothership." I must admit I've always found it a little weird that every thundercloud in fiction looks like a generic cumulus cloud, as you can get cumulonimbus clouds that look super-imposing, like an emperor wearing a crown.

I do have a big new story set in the same universe as the "Harvey Diaries" story but I'm probably going to wait until June to post a link here (since this season is supposed to be a doozy I feel like maybe by August some of you guys will have gotten hit by something and not in the mood).

I know I can't straddle the atmosphere...just a tiny storm in your teacup, girl.
