2015-01-03 Itchy and Knee in Stir Fry Crazy

Jan03
by on 2015-01-03 at 15:45
Chapter:

May I take this opportunity to wish to all my readers, non-readers, search-engine-robots and those-who-are-too-young-to-ask-questions (those especially), a very happy and healthy arbitrary-annual-date-roll-over-moment; and best wishes for the period-until-the-next-one.  In particular, those who celebrate a quarter to four o’clock in the afternoon* of thirds of Januaries – joy to you… about… NOW!

I’m sure that Itchy and Knee would wish for the same, if they would only stop squabbling for a little bit.

Chapter:

Itchy gets a starring role today (Knee was nowhere to be found when I wanted to sketch him.) My mother-in-law gave me this word to keep. Thanks Barbara 🙂

Oh, and here’s the small beaded rhinoceros we bought on a street corner, directly from the artist, in Johannesburg.  It seems to be settling in well to the late summer in England:

Chapter:

After quite a hiatus, I found a real, pukka, Invisibules comic inside my head. Just like the olden days!

— Footnote
Purists might put the pause between the two tees, viz. glot-tal, but I imagine that’s why that Invisibulean still needs to practise. I can only report what I observe.

2014-04-18 Jam side down — Science!

Apr18
by on 2014-04-18 at 19:20

You must ask nanny, or the butler, to help you with step 2.

We were discussing how cats always fall on their feet, moved on to the well known anti-gravity device involving one cat and one jammy (or buttered) slice of bread, and somehow ended up here with very jammy fingers.

Mercy edit: This comic likely makes little sense to those unacquainted with the concept of the conservation of angular momentum. In fact, this comic likely makes little sense.

1. You will need 1 slice of bread, jam and a knife.
2. Cut the bread to make a triangle with two 45-degree angles.
3. Spread jam liberally on one side only.
4. Hold jam-side-up, about 1m [39 in.] above the floor...
5. ...and release.
6. Observe. We have demonstrated Momentum of Angular Conserve.
