Even if it were arbitrary, I think a personified celestial body would instantly recognise the humanity in celebrating something happening again and again. Like when someone keeps falling over and the people witnessing it go "wahey!" every time.

Edit: or when the DVD screensaver logo hits the corner, which granted doesn't happen as often but they go mad for it.

I shouldn't be surprised that lemmites would find a way to make hating the new year a personality trait.

In theory, couldn't we use the exact point the Earth is precisely between the sun and galactic center?

It‘s not completely arbitrary. New year is after the shortest day for daylight of the year.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.
