O no, this is amazing, I've done something similar but far less cute and funny in the past:

Gonna have to disagree with you about far less cute, that's adorable.

Awww, thank you! But I love the interaction in the above one so much.

This is so lovely! I can't read everything the dwarf planets say unfortunately but it is cute nevertheless.

I laughed at Neptune being so happy about having the strongest winds. Truly a gassy planet.

Oh, thanks for letting me know, I'll check that type size!

If it's of any use to you, I cannot zoom in on the website (in mobile mode), neither on the pictures, nor on the text. My guess was that this was a feature to not copy your work? On my phone, this ends up being too small to be readable. But I'll assume you did my boy Pluto justice.

Really, that's weird, I just tried it with Firefox on mobile (IronFox) and I can zoom. What browser are you using? I also added a link to the poster so it should open the image file (which should hopefully be zoomable?). The image itself is not very big, though, I should probably upload a bigger version โ€ฆ Kinda hesitant to do that since it'll only feed the slop machines but then again it probably won't make a difference anyway. I hate this timeline. +___+

Yay, now I can open the first image and zoom in! The lil' heart on Pluto ๐Ÿ’œ thank you!

I was using standard firefox btw. The two other pictures that are cut outs can't be zoomed or opened, in case you want to know!
