Two things that led to today’s strip:
One, horsing around with the tall verticals is funny, and yesterday’s strip didn’t take total advantage of that.
Two, I didn’t get started on this until 11:20, and I needed something minimalist. Otherwise, you’d have gotten a Lowell cartoon. Which, I suppose, now means you know what to expect on Friday.
There you go. I’m exhausted.
Hey thanks! Physics? Cannon shell blank to boost for the compressed air.
Oh, a 5 cm KwK 39 blank ought to do it.
Air head.
Hot air rises.
Ergo, Paste is lighter than air.
Very Wiley of him.
Compressed air gets hot, add a drop of diesel fuel to the chamber and Paste will catch some stratosphere. Either that or Cara will be right when the pogo stick throws shrapnel on the next bounce.
Drop? Nah, a half gram ought ta to it.
You know you’ve overbuilt your Pogo Stick when people run up and ask “Is it a Hemi?”
Is anyone here a car nut? I think you have to be a car nut to get that.
Eh, Greg, is that a “Charger” branded pogo stick?
I get the reference to Hemi – man, I love me some sweet old rides from the 60’s (and I ain’t talkin’ the ladies either!!)
no, just a dodge pickup fan!
Hemi’s are cool. ‘cuda’s are cooler when they have a Hemi…
I know where an original Shelby GT 350 is rotting in a garage and the guy refuses to part with it. :'( even…
What goes up must come down … now, the impact from that height is going to be around 4-5g’s of force, causing massive bone splintering or breaking, and internal organ damage.
Nah. Young’uns bounce.
Bounce? Yeah. Once.
Yeah. They can. Then 20-30 years later it all comes back in spades to roost and haunt you. (got some good memories and a good collection of scars, but 3 am is no fun any more… neither is a low front… )
Kara has the right idea. They should run, because Paste seems intent on performing a Goomba Stomp here.
No, I don’t think he’ll succeed, of course, but it’d probably be best to be as far away from the scene of the accident as possible. Y’know, in case police ask questions.
Mach *what* on reentry AND that’s gonna crater….
I’m with Kara, run and call for an ambulance after you get out of range…
She can do immediate triage but I see this one getting on the News….
No need for an ambulance – they’re in the parking lot of Kara’s clinic. Heck, Kara can do meatball surgery right where Paste lands, using the remaining metal shards of the pogo stick as makeshift scalpels.
Paula’d probably come out there and help just because she wants to kick a few of their keysters. Including her boss Kara’s….
Paste’d probably bounce enough it’d be some stitches, maybe a fiberglass cast on something; and Kara needing to figure out who to bill for the destruction of her parking lot (she rents the building she’s going to have to fix that fast)
run and have the emts and firefighters and police on stand bye for when paste comes down he is going to be hitting hard and maybe be on fire
Remember the opening bit for the Stanky Creek Outdoorfest? Hubris would just get the fire extinguisher and aim like he did last time…
