Should have used wax.

Must be taking flying lessons from Wile E. Coyote.

“Now you tell me?”

Try again tomorrow.

Daedalus supposedly invented glue amongst the many, many things attributed to him. Guess that happened after Icarus…

Acme glue…….

There’s more to becoming a bird than gluing feathers to your arms.

Love the second panel- so delicate and graceful, balletic even. :-)

No sign of his previous so-called war face.

Lesson: If you don’t let the glue fully dry, you may lose your feathers as you go crashing to the ground.

Wouldn’t works even after it dries.

Wear a wing suit.

That’s unfortunate. After holding his arms up for 24 hours to let the glue dry, he wouldn’t have the strength to muster even one flap.

What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen caveman? We may never know. But his acceleration was 9.8 meters per second squared.

If I wanted to try flying, I think I would do a running on the ground take off to test it out.

FACEPLANT ! 7.3 on the Wiley Coyote scale , high points for not reading the instructions !

Read the directions…………..before!!!!1

ALWAYS read the fine print. . . .

See todays Pearls

OK! OK! So I made one little mistake. You gonna keep harping that?

Hmm? That was a LARGE tube!

If at first you don’t succeed, fly fly again.

Off we go into the wild blue yonder,Climbing high into AAAAAAHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh………………………………………………….splat!

Why that particular myth never quite caught on with the public.

Not that the feathers staying on would help. I have long thought that something might be done to get us closer to that dream still — sort of a combination of hang glider and human powered aircraft technology, maybe “cheating” with helium and bungee cords…

Details.

A little less “flight” than “plummet”… ⤵️

All the muscles in the chest have to be part of the wings to get enough power to fly. Just the arms alone ain’t gonna do it

Too glued to be true.

RTFM. Read the (appropriate) manual. From my Army days.

Start at about the 40:30 mark:

ACME Wings?

I sure hope you didn’t squish the coyote.

He should have feathered his approach.

Forgot to drink the Red Bull !

Meep meep.

Icarus, he ain’t

\\//_

That’s hilarious!

It still has the same results. But then you rip off chunks of your hide getting the feathers back off.

The invention of plummeting.

Still won’t work.

Get ready for a rerun on this tomorrow.
