Ron Planet is the last astronaut on Earth and boy does his job suck. When NASA finds something strange on the moon, Ron is literally the only man for the job. The near-future has never been such a letdown!

Based on an animated feature screenplay by Craig Zobel and Matt Chapman (Mike helped too!). Think of these as the Sunday Funnies storyboards for Ron Planet.subscribe
