And stop shopping at Acme.

Must have gotten a little lift. Seems like a long time for the “poof” based on the short drop shown.

He is rapidly eliminating all the many, many ways that don’t work.

“Why do you kepp jumping off of cliffs?” “Because it feels so good when I stop.”

O.k., I KNOW I’m old. I don’t need to be reminded that I’m old.

Confession: As soon as I saw the first comic panel, the theme from the 1966 Batman television show started playing in my head…“Bada-bada-bada-bada-bada-bada….BAT-MANNNNNN!” (BAM! POW! SLAM!).

Robin: “Holy ancient history, Batman! He IS old!”

Icarus… it might help if the wings were NOT made of Tissue Paper!!!

They seem to be recycled Pterodactyl wings!

Better a short drop, then a long fatal fall.

He could at least wait for an updraft. Some hope, if illusory.

“Mr. Mason…?”

“Yes, Carol?”

“A Mr. Wile E. Coyote on line two…something about ‘stealing his bit’…?”

If you survive

And there it is…FACEPLATE !!! Been a while.

The ACME Corporation strikes again.

He forgot to flap his wings back and forth….

Back to the old chipping-and-scratching board!

So. . .ya need to get together with da Vinci and Edison: one can give you a new plan and the other can explain about failure. . .

Get it out of the way so you can succeed.

larger wings. MUY GRANDE wings

Still, keep on trying. Once the bones knit.

got those wings from Acme?

Good thing he landed in a panel that had a border line just below the cliff instead of the ones with no border!

One of the earliest Acme brand products

And it was going really well there, for a while… ☺

The Wright brothers learned from his mistake.

that was predictable

A History of Socialism in four words.

Like the guy who fell out of a tall building. Everytime he went past another floor he was heard to say, “So far, so good. So far, so good…”

That’s what I used to tell my gifted students, but in more optimist terms!

Well, some crazy’s have actually gotten this to work, kind of. Now it’s the negative lift problem they have to solve. Maybe thermals like soaring with the eagles and California condors.

Must be an ancestor of Wile E. Coyote.

Probably not using the right drugs.

Icarus’s great, great Grandfather?

Awesome failure!
