I figure everyone knows Yuri Gagarin, but just in case: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yuri_Gagarin

As always, stay tuned here on [email protected] for a slow trickle out of Jucika comics, but if you want to find more, here’s a good post with a large collection that /u/[email protected] posted last year: https://piefed.social/post/1258520
