Loose Parts by Dave Blazek for May 01, 2023

He’s just floating the idea.

Which in his case, could be forever, depending on syndication.

Just to get it over with:

“But that’s absurd! It could never happen in real life!”

You may now go ahead and enjoy the comic.

Just like a bumblebee.

Oh, Professor Glickman, sir. Shouldn’t that be only to the point in time one is “unaware” of said position?

It would seem that he is aware right now.

There’s the “Hitchhiker’s Guide” method of flying. Fall from a height, and get so distracted that you miss the ground.

Schrödinger’s cliff.

Don’t look down.

I smell a rat, he casts a shadow but the board doesn´t – spooky!

The one place you can get away with being uppity.

For me, this immediately brings to mind that Wile E Coyote.

Yes, and don’t look down.

However, Warner Brothers predicted gravitational effects associated with black holes: namely, “spaghettification” – you are stretched out because your feet fall faster than you head. Reaching back up to catch your hat is not scientifically possible, however.

Tommy: “I became aware this year”

However, one can remain in the missionary position only as long as it is long.

This is called the Meep Meep effect…may he RIP

I used to do a “special lesson” in cartoon physics at end of term. My contention was that one finds it funny because one knows that’s not how real physics works. I’d show cartoons and have students shout out where the physics was wrong, and what should have happened. Physics is Phun.

Brought to you be Acme Supply Company.

The secret of levity

only if you studied law – the law of gravity

Many of us go on and on doing the wrong thing until we become aware.

A synopsis of the lecture will be available in Off The Cliff’s Notes.

This is like Elmer Fudd and Buggs Bunny as kids. Elmer doesn’t fall because he hasn’t studied the law of gravity, so Buggs gives him a book on the subject and Elmer falls.

Does the same thing happen with my GPA?

AKA the Wile E. Coyote Theory.

Always wondered how the cartoon characters managed that trick. Glad to get a look at the scientific analysis.

…and large boulders painted black become permeable - but only for the Road Runner. So how come cool elective classes like “Applied Cartoon Physics” were not offered when I was in college? I’d have been “drawn” to it like Fudd to a Bunny!
