Carbon dioxide is heavier than air.

Bloating from soda, yes; but carbon dioxide bubbles are heavier than air.

i guess that’s fart jet that’s keeping them afloat?

Gas will get you moving again.

But the belches will be worth it.

Time for the belching contest

They’re gonna blow! HIT THE DIRT!!

Carbonated with helium?

Maybe don’t do the chugging contest with Fizzy Lifting Soda.

The belch heard ’round the world.

hope you don’t float too far up… that would be entertainingly bad. :D

The MontGoofier Brothers…

That’s two strips in a row where these loud-and-proud nerds show a complete and utter disregard for physics.

Are there helium bubbles in soda?

No, this is a good thing. Carbon sequestration!

Don’t let them belch, however!

Spring break at their age? I never heard of it.

Yeah, the ice cream in their sodas would really make them expand.

And I thought I was bad with chugging soda…

Well the lawn sprinklers won’t be needed for awhile.

Ummmm…. Carbon dioxide is not lighter than air.

This is clearly an homage to Dr. Seuss’s Sleep Book (a wonderful classic bedtime book):

"The news has come in from the district of Dofft that two Offt are asleep and they’re sleeping aloft. "
