JUST A HEAT ENGINE-PART 4

The next page of the comic where the avatar of the Labor Day Hurricane of 1935 sings about how awesome being a hurricane is. (And to the tune of “Comet” from Steven Universe…because for some reason when I heard that song my mind was immediately like “this would be even cooler if it was about a category 5 hurricane bragging about himself.”)

Labor Day definitely thinks his life is a very entertaining and wild ride, but the exhausted sooty terns on the bottom panel probably disagree after having been thrown around his eyewall.

Seabirds becoming trapped inside hurricanes is a real phenomenon, and sometimes they end up being blown hundreds of miles inland. There are photographs of ships in the eye of a storm being mobbed by hordes of tired birds looking for a place to rest their wings.
