The Danae-Lucy Symbiotic Theory.

Hello…hello? Calvin… Hobbes?

I knew Wiley had a reason for all those great bears…

4th panel, best rendering of Danae ever….

And, nope, there won’t be any time wasting theories on this site today……..Nope!….No disputes, here baby…….Oh, sure, there will probably be some gravity deniers…Can’t get away from the wacky doodles….

I’d say it’s a bit late for them to be considering the “theory” of gravity. The one they should be concerned about now is inertia.

And “Indiana Danae” is about to land in a river in northern India??? Watch out for the guy with the hot rocks!

Why is the “Dead Man’s Hill” routine such a comic standard? Guild rules?

I think the message is that we’ve all worked together to make the world go round.

and what in hades do cats do, other than that?

Excellent!

Imitation is the sincerest form of Wiley.

I wonder if there are those who also just don’t believe in gravity Our heroes will arrive about ouch.

Ah, so part of Danae’s problem is that she does not know the difference between a hypothesis and a theory. Add onto that the difficulty that common usage of the word “theory” differs substantially from the scientific definition. Heck, forget about adding; the comprehension problems caused by people not understanding that such terms differ goes waaaaaaay beyond additive or multiplicative.

A theory is just a theory until it comes up against reality.

Perfect!!!

that is the best pun of the day, RW.

The horse domesticated the humans. Any horse person knows this. Just visit any stable and see who is doing all the work, mucking and hauling and feeding!!!

During one Road Runner cartoon, the Coyote chased the Road Runner off the cliff, but the Road Runner kept running and the Coyote promptly fell to the bottom. Coyote looks up, sees Road Runner still floating in the air, and Coyote holds up a sign saying, “I wouldn’t mind this normally, but he breaks the laws of physics.” Road Runner responded with his own sign, “Yes, but I never studied law.” :-)

Gravity is weak as water, but it always wins.

In discussing gravity, we can talk about the law that describes the attraction between two objects, and we can also talk about the theory that describes why the objects attract each other.

There are several theories of gravity — it remains one of the mysteries of science. There’s also the well-known “Law of Gravitation” — but, that’s descriptive, not explanatory.

“LOOK!!! It’s Lucy in the sky, with Danae, mon!”read them all – yours is perfect. Thank you. But darn! I now have an earworm.

TexTech: Actually, skunks and owls are far better mousers. Unfortunately, since few birds have olfactory sense (turkey vulture an exception) great horned owls are the most serious predator of skunks other than humans.

SaskSledDog: Yes, but some of those Belgian cart dogs are about the size of a Shetland pony.
