The Scalar Comet publishes humor, satire and other things online. We publish cartoons, poetry, and other literature that pushes the boundaries of satire into reality itself.

The scalar comet is here to explore the very fringes of our existence. We seek the absurd, the cosmic, the extraterrestrial, the deeply personal. From open letters to non-sentients to breaking news cried out from the void, we welcome musings that transcend the ordinary.
