Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for March 13, 2011

Danae: Hey, Jeffrey, can you... Jeffrey: No, I won't send you back to yesterday. Danae: How'd you know I was going to ask that? Jeffrey: 'Cuz we're stuck in a time loop...you already went back to give yourself the answers to a test you failed today. Danae: Whoa...so why didn't it work? Jeffrey: It's a conundrum of space-time logic. The past can't be changed because it already happened, so no matter what you do, it'll stay the same and you end up back where you started, repeating it over and over again. The only way to stop this time loop is to not send you back again... Danae: Wait, wait... Ah...I get it... ...That means it's your fault I failed the test. Jeffrey: Which brings us to the conundrum of girl logic...
Back in time… That’s no crime… Stop a bomb… Kill Hitler’s mom…
But it would be true… And you would rue… Missing something… The flap of a butterfly’s wing…
So here we are… Under the same yellow star… Hoping endlessly for more… And fearing opening the next door…
