I thought that part of the background for this was that the Perfesser had a degree in dirigible engineering from Rutgers. Never underestimate the capabilities of a dirigible engineer.
First time I’ve ever seen the ol’ prof flying, too… but I must confess I’m not sure that I get the punchline either. By mistaking his bathroom scales for his laptop, did he crush it?… and now replacing/repairing it is gonna cost him $1,250?

Amazing, flying with that sweatshirt over his flight feathers, “levitation”???

It looks like Cosmo is gliding while each panel gives the appearance that Loon is ‘flapping’ his wings. Also, it ‘cleared off’ quite quickly.

I thought Loon usually flew upside down.

Hmmm…I don’t get it and I don’t think I ever saw the professor in flight.

Loon, for softer landing, try timpani.

What was the laptop on the bathroom floor for? (Not that I’ve ever done that… ahem)…

It’s a comic strip: the tool is “levity”, not levitation! As to “instruments”, they’re just fiddling around with the joke potential.
