1	''[[http://www.ronplanet.com/ Ron Planet]]'', by Creator/MattChapman and Creator/CraigZobel, is a {{webcomic}} that takes place circa 2040. It centers on Ron Planet, the last astronaut on Earth, and his lame life (i.e., cleaning up vomit in space). However, everything changes when a now dirt-poor NASA approaches him to solve a problem related to microwave popcorn.
