Monty by Jim Meddick for June 23, 2024

Revenge of the Guinea Pig.

The device is holding steady. The Earth is slowly being pushed off its orbit.

“You can’t stop a perpetual motion machine, you can only hope to contain it.”

Cartoon levity is good

He could be the richest man in the world if that actually happened. Congratulations Monty.

My childhood buddy built a free flight gas powered model airplane, this was circa 1950s. It was meant to spiral up, run out of fuel and spiral down. First flight it spiraled up and up and up but drifted rapidly in the wind until it was out of sight. “Guess I shouldn’t had filled the gas tank…” We rode our bikes looking until dark…..

Meanwhile, all the surrounding neighborhood TVs are going ON-OFF, ON-OFF, ON-OFF…

Good proof of concept, now for the next revision.

So does it leave the solar system and milky way?

Like the kid cried in E.T. – “COME BACK!”

Look up in the sky, it’s a bird, no it’s a plane,it’s a 737 Max toilet.

And the Guinea pig later became the emperor of Venus.

cool, it works on itself. :D

It’s an anti-grav engine…

That’s our Monty! If he invented a Time Machine, it would take off without him… ☺

No, weight!

This reminds me a bit of a recent story arc in Non Sequitur about Danae and a time machine. (This one had a guinea pig instead of dinosaurs, tho.)

I’d really like to invent a process for cold fusion. But I don’t think I will. (I’m not smart enough).

This is like the time machine story about the guy who was able to accelerate time and travel 50 years into the future – died of old age a few minutes after arrival.

Wrong remote. :)

Floating in a most peculiar way.
