Agnes by Tony Cochran for February 16, 2024

Yes—and Agnes would still spend most of the day in the principal’s office!!

If gravity stops working, just someone make sure it’s plugged in and switched on. It’ll be fine.

“Hither and dither forever!”

I, too, have been hither and dither, and let me tell ’ya, if I had to do it over again I would pick hither over dither ANY day of the week.( Not too much traffic, and the people are nicer.)

Trout has her concerns and priorities straight.

Breath… It won’t last long.

The teachers will be floating around with you, Trout.

Just kick it in the side and adjust the antenna. Or call tech support

“It is inconceivable, that inanimate brute matter should, without the mediation of something else, which is not material, operate upon and affect other matter without mutual contact … That gravity should be innate, inherent, and essential to matter, so that one body may act upon another at a distance, through a vacuum, without the mediation of anything else, by and through which their action and force may be conveyed from one to another, is to me so great an absurdity, that I believe no man who has in philosophical matters a competent faculty of thinking, can ever fall into it. Gravity must be caused by an agent, acting constantly according to certain laws; but whether this agent be material or immaterial, I have left to the consideration of my readers.” Isaac Newton letter to Richard Bentley, Feb. 1693

If Newton had known about quantum entanglement, his head would have exploded.

There is gravity because atoms suck.. and there are more under us than above.

Gravity,you can’t live with it, can’t live without it.

Hopefully it won’t fail while you’re in Juarez over Easter break. As if being lost in the rain wasn’t bad enough!

If you can Catch the buses as it floats by.

Something to dither about.

Sorry Trout, you will still have to go to school and the Boomers will still say they had it harder.

well near the equator your spinning at about 100-mph. If gravity stops working you will fly off on a tangent. you will die. either hit something in your way or run out of air. Wait this might be subject to Cartoon Physics (see Road Runner for examples) and in that case what ever is funny will happen

i’ve been to hither and dither

if you’ve got duct tape and wd-40 you’ll probably be fine…

That’s how everything started. Gravity stopped working and tech support said turn the universe off and then start it up again.

Agnes, we’ll cross that bridge when we come to it — whether we walk across the bridge or just float over it.

Gravity: it’s not just a good idea, it’s the law.
