Dark Side of the Horse by Samson for June 26, 2022

And if there’d been one more row, Horace would try to pull a rabbit out of a hat while Sine says, “Again?”

2. Whe I get a message from hot singles I always get cold feet…

3. Funny! Funny! “Eviva Horace”

4. Good literature is hard to find nowadays…(sigh!)

The throw away panels at the top are never “throw away” with this strip.

If it’s a book discussion group, here’s another story about Waldo.

I’m here all week, folks! Be sure to tip your waitresses. They work hard.

The theoretical physicist Wolfgang Pauli somehow achieved a reputation for “The Pauli Effect” which meant that when he was around experiments tended to not work. One story is that there was a lab explosion at the University of Göttingen which could not be explained until someone found out that the train Pauli was on was passing through town at the time.

Well, we physicists like to confirm theories and so some fellows decided to make a demonstration. As with Horace, they placed a bucket of water over the door that Pauli would enter to give a lecture. All waited in anticipation…

Pauli walks in …. and the bucket does not fall!

He sees the surprise on their faces and looks around and sees the bucket. He grins and says, “See! Pauli Effect!”

Doubt that it is really a true story, but it is a good one from George Gamow.

Nobody does the homework assignment. :)

Another boffo round of Horace at his best. “I’m here all week, folks.”

C1 – Watch out for that train behind you Horace….

C2 – you might as well admit it, Horace….!

C3 – that will definitely put a spring in your step…!

C – found him peaking out of the elevator wreckage….!

Very good, though Horace made a hash of the first gag.

Hot, lost and bothered. Have I summed today up nicely?

On BBC-8 – And now for something completely different..

I found Waldo… in a story by Heinlein.
