Father, I would think. But Iām more interested in that waning crescent moon outside. If theyāre in the northern hemisphere (as Williamsport, PA is, last time I looked!), that moon would be rising some time after midnight and before the sunrise! Does he mean 11 AM??
Telling time by the phase of the moon? Iāve seen this before on Gocomics and elsewhere. Where does it come from? The moon waxs and wanes in a *monthly *cycle (thatās why itās a Moonth) If it rises as a āwaning crescentā its going to set the same way.
If any e-astronomer can explain it to me, Iāll listen!
Comic moons bear no resemblance to the real moon.
All sorts of things can be done in ātoon land without a
repercussion. Refer to Wile-E-Coyote (beep-beep)
Being a young Plugger, he should have said, āIāll go with the āor elseā, then left. (In fact, when āPluggersā began one of the first cartoons was, āA Plugger, when given the option of āsomething or elseā, will always go with the āor elseā.)
