Fair enough.

logic at the end.

Both operate in a fantasy world, to be sure.

Ceres has ice volcanoes. May even have polargators and allibears.

Haven’t watched Skiffy, er, SyFy, er Venereal Disease (look it up: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=syfy) since they took MST3K off the air, so we can’t judge on any inability to follow the laws of physics, but we can vouch for its lack of credibility. Sharknado, indeed…

The Polar Vortex visited us earlier, so I may have to agree with him….

Man, Pauly, doesn’t seem to get very concerned about many things…Gaters, Bi-Polar Bears…What’s it take to get his fur to stand on end?
Varnes over 10 years ago
Wait a minute…..SYFY Channel…..and Congress….Put them together and….Nooooooooo……Congressnado!!! We’re all gonna die!!!

@Kali39 – took your advice and went to the site and found:
“3. Name of a TV network that shows imagination-based programming to go with their illusionary ratings. Failing after a re-branding press release insulted its core audience. "
Well, I guess you could say WWE is fiction – the science part must come in fooling the viewers to think it is real!
And people make jokes about the Polish, when they nailed it!
“1. Co to za syfy? (Eng.: What is this crap?)”
Why, WWE on SyFy!!! Along with assorted grade “Z” movies (much lower than B grade – “Z” is the lowest I can go unless I use the Polish (or another) alphabet)!!!

Paulie’s so bored with Eddie’s stories he falls asleep during them, even when he’s living them!

Paulie is blithely humming to himself,♪ Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right! ♫♪ Here I am, stuck in the middle with you… ♫

Don’t come down too hard on the syfy (or scifi).
skrye over 10 years ago
At least SyFy Channel movies are shooting for a lack of credibility and non-application of the laws of physics. Congress on the other hand…

This was actually happening on one of Jupiter’s moons….

Hey! No dissing SyFy channel! They at least honestly admit and revel their absurdity!!
Beleck3 over 10 years ago
the dig at Congress is very much appreciated. lol. too bad they don’t blow up and away in to the sky like this comic

Definitely like congress and the SyFy channel. Especially that channel – and not just the movies.
puddlesplatt over 10 years ago
Paulie sings…send in the clowns…sorry, they are here.
mistercatworks over 10 years ago
Especially in regards to Congressman in SyFy movies.
dabugger over 10 years ago
Hey Eddie, dat ain’t a vahtex, as ya call it. Like so much of the arctic, there are volcanos. But havta admit, you are a bigger ‘blowhard’……
uniquename over 10 years ago
I can see the polar vortex affecting the laws of physics, but credibility?
Linda Pearson over 10 years ago
I kinda like the analogy.
Defective Premium Member over 10 years ago
I haven’t watched SciFi since they changed their name and thought wrestling was a good show to watch.
klunker rider over 10 years ago
Wait I can see it now…
POLAR SHARK VORTEX!
Where the phone # to the SyFy channel !!!
Caddy57 over 10 years ago
Man lives in what he believes to be ….reality……except for Captain Eddie…..and maybe the guy who founded “Bitcoin”…which, by the way disappeared over night……Polar Vortex?…..maybe

I was starting to think that C-Span was the SyFy channel.
cmugnier over 10 years ago
There really IS such a thing. It is termed a “pingo mound.” and occurs in permafrost terrain. It’s usually fatal to whomever was present at the time.
yyyguy over 10 years ago
is an ice volcano similar to the ice tsunami i saw video of a couple of weeks back?
meowlin over 10 years ago
As bad as SyFy Original Movies are, they provide much-needed job experience for beginning techs and special effects artists. The movies may be bad, but being able to cite any movie on one’s resumé is good.

Panel number 2 changed my mind about Wiley’s bears. I don’t think I’d buy them now.

Idiot. N. Person who does not agree.
dogday Premium Member over 10 years ago
I agree, Night. Yarn spinning is the essence of story telling (and I DO think there’s a difference) and a basic form of human creativity and entertainment. Those who want reality can go to…well, darned if I know, but don’t snark about it not being here!
westny77 over 10 years ago
There goes the animals.
Hunter7 over 10 years ago
makes sense. Up to your hips in alligators. Polar bears thinking you’re a snack. What else is going to save you? .Unless that polar vortex picks you up and drops you off somewhere else….
The Rolling Cat over 10 years ago
I would say that the laws of cartoon physics apply here, which is to say… well, not none, but certainly negotiable.
