A minute after I put that in the queue, I saw this:
Not the greatest example of synchronicity; but I’m adding all the other tags anyway…

On my way to a location in Chicago’s South Shore neighborhood I regularly visited, I started noticing what I thought was an apartment building called Pangea Apartments; and I sniffily wanted to tell them that was a misspelling.
Well I was wrong on a couple of counts. Pangea and Pangaea are both accepted spellings (and if you want to insist on the latter you might need to type the ae digraph). And soon I noticed the name on other buildings in that neighborhood, and then in other neighborhoods as well, and realized they were a real estate / rental company. And just now, looking them up, I see from https://www.pangeare.com/ that they are a fairly long-established company, in Indianapolis and Baltimore as well as Chicago.
But it doesn’t so far tell me if they are actually named for the ancient super-continent, or why.
If the submitter had not said anything, I would have thought it was the horse.
P.S. All those cans, and not a single keystone logo to be seen anywhere.
It may not be perfect synchronicity, but if you had only put up one, it would have been a half-farted effort.
There was a comic on my daily reading list a few days ago. Now I can’t find it.
Anyone seen it? A much closer match, even if a few days apart.
A wind farm. Every turbine topped with a pair of buttocks. Caption: breaking wind farm.
Mitch: I assume someone thought “all Earth” was a good name for a Realty company. Doubt it’s more complex than that.
Using lactose intolerance to insure social distancing.
SingaporeBill: Yuk yuk!
CIDU Bill: I do like that last one, even though I haven’t been a fan of fart jokes for a half-century or so.
Maybe it happens to be someone’s last name?
I hope it didn’t confuse anybody that I skipped making any explanaton, but in case it wasn’t clear, I brought up my encounter with the “Pangea Apartments” in this context because the PBF comic includes a picture of Earth at the time of the Pangaea supercontinent. (In full-globe view in panel 3, and implicitly in the crowding of the preceding panels.)
