      Yours is beautiful and eyecatching, but I love an intact and correctly scaled Antarctica. It’s hard to find.

        Yeah, the version in the comic has it as a separate piece under the butterfly instead of the tips of the wings, but it’s not the same.

        Because not enough people live there, I suppose.

        (If you look at the version in the comic, though, it’s got Antarctica as a separate piece under the butterfly instead of split on the wingtips, so that’s something, I suppose, even if it’s not the same as a continuous map…)

        To be fair the Dymaxion is less confusing if you add “fold here” lines… but then you end up with (an approximation of) a globe.

        The same criticism is applicable to the Waterman, though; both are more unfolded globes than proper maps.

          Yeah I know, it’s just really confusing to look at.

          But that’s probably just due to the fact that the north pole is at the top and America is in the centre and not GMT/Europe
