Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for May 03, 2024

You’ve watched too many roadrunner cartoons Danae & forget that Wile E coyote can’t fly, he just crashes with all that garbage the Acme Company sells him!

I have attempted to walk on water before.

Well, it was more a brief and shining moment, really … she probably saw the ‘sunlit uplands’ as well. Much good it did her …

Trump is skipping the gravity part and is trying to avoid just the law. Was I sarcastic enough?

If at second you don’t succeed … forgettaboutit!

Actually, she is basically right. Albert Einstein said:

THE HAPPIEST THOUGHT of my life came to me when I was working at the patent office, and as I looked out the window, I noticed a workman falling off the roof of the nearby building. I realized that in the workman’s mind, in his view, he would feel no gravitational force while accelerating due to gravity. In other words, his falling under the accelerating force of gravity would nullify or cancel his perception of gravity. Thus acceleration and gravity were identical!

Panel two. Que the cartoon Foley sound for running feet.

Question. Is Danae learning anything? Seems not.

Same gag earlier this week.

If she wanted to be famous that would be “glory áśś”.

Well, it did work until it didn’t.

The Count guesses she should have used the sarcasm font.

Yep, called it. She is definitely a future Darwin Awardee.

Even pigs can fly with enough thrust. The landings, however, leave much to be desired.

You forgot the most important part of defying gravity and that is to forget to hit the ground.

Maybe you need someone to distract you just before you make contact. (Thank you Doug Adams)

Not sure about defying gravity but I have certainly experienced weightlessness here on Earth (literally).

And then there’s that guy who thinks he can and those idiots who believe him.

Sarcasm is like that. Too much is never enough.

Danae should get a ride on the “vomit comet” and really experience some zero gravity.

You gotta give it to Wiley; he went at it head-on once and got burned. Since then, he learned the lesson of “there’s more than one way to skin a critter” real well, and he’s doing just fine.

If she had just worn her Supergirl cape, she might be able to continue the voyage

The problem isn’t gravity, it’s your horse.

But she wasn’t being sarcastic.

The world’s only fraidycat horse

A fair amount of interesting science fiction has been written with the idea, what if one or more physical constants were different? With some, small changes make big differences.

Try it when the lake is frozen.

Looks like the Maharishi’s Yogic Flying.

At least Lucy chose a Water Landing for Danae.
