Transcript:
Calvin: "In a scientific mission to discover what happens when two planets collide, Spaceman Spiff drops anchor!" Calvin: "The anchor catches on a hillside! Spiff downshifts and guns the motor!" Calvin: "Imperceptibly at first, the planet slowly moves, towed along by our hero. Until..." Calvin: "...Breaking orbit, planet 6 picks up speed, hurling toward planet 5!"

So much for the prime directive.

Sounds like Common Core math solution.

Hurtling, surely? Or is it vomiting all over planet 5?

I don’t think the prime directive applies if the planet is uninhabited. Otherwise they couldn’t terraform either.

I hope he factored in the shockwave ..

Presumably Calvin thinks the prime directive doesn’t apply to planet 6?
Tomorrow we shall see if the result of this experiment is the formation of Planet 11…

No, Calvin, the answer isn’t Planet 56. It’s Planet 65!

It makes me glad this wasn’t a multiplication problem.

The sum is likely to be considerably less than 11 …. unless every particle of the resulting debris field is counted….

Hi LX013. I hope that everyday life isn’t too gray, and that things are going well for you there across the Atlantic. Never lose your sense of humor.

Will they break into 11 fragments? Time will tell.

Does Spaceman Spiff know about Roche’s Limit? (Probably not.)

I’m just thankful it wasn’t planet 3! Earth has enough problems as it is…

Sub-prime? Aw crap… now he’s playing with economics and politics!

The gravity of these math problems are stellar!

It must have been so painful in the 80s only being able to read 2 strips every week. Oh, the suspense!
