− | | + | *[Quote from [[Randall]]] "Another fairly old drawing that I scanned" |
− | This comic does not present a particular point, it's just a picture drawn by [[Randall Munroe|Randall]]. ''{{w|The Little Prince}}'' (in French ''Le Petit Prince'') is a novella written by {{w|Antoine de Saint-Exupéry}} in 1943, about the titular Little Prince, who lives on an asteroid and visits other inhabited asteroids and eventually the Earth. The book is filled with drawings of the asteroid, the prince, and the travels they make. It is noted how, on occasion, {{w|Adansonia|baobab trees}} can begin to grow on these asteroids, and should they not be immediately uprooted, the growth of their roots would tear the asteroid apart. ''The Little Prince'' would later be referenced in the ''[[what if? (blog)|what if?]]'' article ''{{what if|26|Leap Seconds}}'', in [[618: Asteroid]], and in [[1350: Lorenz]] at [https://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/a1-2014/VgSdMz8OAHQ8w5Ee432f5Q.png the end] of the space trip branch.
