Gunpowder, dynamite, or nitroglycerin?

no no no …. chemistry…discovered you.

“I’ve discovered that farts are flammable! Watch!”

AKA bean farts.

pickled eggs and cabbage

Doesn’t he mean Alchemy? I thought Alchemy was the precursor to Chemistry

Ah, Mythbusters science.

I like these domes they live in.

You need to take a tip from the fireworks makers, thick wall with lightweight roof…….

Am I missing an Eyebrow?- Adam Savage Mythbusters

It looks more like … he miraculously survived chemistry.

Ta-Ra-Ra-BOOM-De-Aye

What will he be up to next time? I refuse to imagine :-/

I’m sure there’s a meth lab joke lurking in this strip.

Too much beans eh.

Good day for this comic because 1/25/1627 is the birthdate of Robert Boyle in Co. Waterford, Ireland.

He is widely considered to be the founder of modern chemistry.

Boyle’s Law(describing the inverse relationship between the absolute pressure and volume of a gas) is named in his honor.

A split atom

Recreational chemistry, that’s the game plan.

Did he discover chemistry? Or was it politics?

They did that in my high school, back in the 1950’s. They didn’t lose the roof, but they did blow out a wall.

Super, have a blast! Oh, you already did…

Now he’s going to discover how much it costs to buy a new cave…

FOOM!!!! YAY!!!!

Everyone wanted to be my lab partner. I could follow the step-by-step in any experiment and have it come out perfect. I had no idea of WHY a gram of this and a gram of that would do anything. But the results always matched the desired outcome, so I was popular.

Forgot the vent in the ceiling….code man must have missed it!!!!!!

Must of evolved a rudimentary Pot Still ?

Accidentally, it would appear.

An opposite reaction, yes, but not equal… ☺

You’re going to need a new cave.

and it’s explosive. :i

Just like the time in Bloom County when Olivers dad gave him his first chemistry set.

Step two….. figure out a way to kill people with his discovery.

“Add a fin . . . add a fang . . . and” FOOM!

Blast from the past.

Live and learn….lol

Thank you Dr Nobel.

Chemistry is full of fun stuff.

I made gunpowder from saltpeter, sulfur and charcoal briquettes. The results were less spectacular

An Acme set, I’d bet.

It’s easy to de-fart beans.

High enthalpy chemistry, I guess.

Who remembers an old Guinness ad?: “I like to …..”
