Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for May 28, 2014
Transcript:
Max: The balloon will rise for like five miles. It's really cold that high, so the balloon gets brittle. Eventually the pressure inside is more than the pressure outside, and it EXPLODES INTO BALLOON SHARDS. Phoebe: That's cool! Max: Huh, so girls like explosions too?

Can’t help but relate Phoebe and Max to my boyfriend and me. He’s a science geek and can explain loads of stuff, and I enjoy the things that explode. <3

They ought to tie a camera with a parachute under the balloon before letting it go so they can record the “kaboom”.

The gray shading today has a “plaid” appearance that I’m guessing Dana did not intend.

Some do and some don’t Max.

Girls who like explosions are hard to find. She’s a keeper, Max!

There is an alternative. Helium atoms pass through rubber; the balloon could lose sufficient helium pressure to maintain buoyancy.

@timharrod: She’s away from her usual computer this week, and hence her usual presets. It looks like the halftone shading she’s using is causing a moiré effect when it’s resized.

I have looked up the origins of the name Simpson, and it has English/Scottish roots. Dana Simpson must be celebrating her Scottish heritage all this week with the plaid shadings.

Ya huh we like explosions! Some of us like, The Three Stooges, too!

I would think it would slow down, because the colder they become, the less active the atoms.

I dunno, Nena taught me they tend to bunch up and start nuclear wars or something. My perceptions have been challenged.

sometimes it gets stuck in a tree and a magical girl - (who lives in a house which travels through time and space, guided by talking dandelions) - climbs up and retrieves it.
