I most totally disagree Shro; Once you find out how the universe works EVERYTHING is funny…(or sad, one of the two, and depends on ones intake of non-prescription medication)
Librarian, who do you know, who actually knows how the universe works? Please have him/her call CERN, immediately. This could save them a great deal of money and effort.
To be frank, this wasn’t going to be a second “Barfly and Schrodinger.” I needed to go take some photographs for the story I had planned for the rest of the week, and was going to go do them in the afternoon.
Then I got an E-Mail from uClick, letting me know that they’d signed the Washington Post Reader Express for the strip, and they needed the rest of the week immediately. Good news, bad news, you know how it goes….
So since I had a second gag planned for B&S for next week, I moved that one up and threw this one together quickly and filed it. Then I went to go take the photographs I needed to do the rest of the week. The storyline that should have started today starts tomorrow.
A peek behind the music here for those that like that sort of thing: generally, when you see a “Beethoven” strip or a “Barfly and Schrodinger” strip, they’re a sign that I was up against a deadline and needed a one-shot. They’re easier to do one-shots with than the other characters. Especially “B&S” since they’re essentially a vaudeville act and there are lots of bad old jokes I can turn on their head like this one.
And as for where Her Maj is, what was she preparing for when you saw her last? Hint towards tomorrow.
The negative dolts should have paid more attention to their physics instructor. I love the many turns of ideas within the strip. Why not some fun for the smart set? I have found that non-intellectuals do not have much fun because they just do not get it.
pab: i heard, once, that it takes three for a good joke to be told. one to tell it, one to hear and understand it, and one to not ‘get’ the joke. the third person increases the enjoyment of the first two. i’ve been doing a bit of catch up on my toons and read four days in one sitting. i’ve liked all of them.
If you understand Schrodinger, you’ll realize there’s no problem with Pab being Frank. There’s nearly an equal probability he’ll be Ernest. He just can’t be both at the same time.
but the alternate theory is cyclic – once the universe stops expanding everything will start getting funnier – by the time of the “Big Crunch” everything will be hilarious!

Did you bring enough for the rest of the class?

Hey, Pab
Where on earth is Her Majesty? Is she perhaps on the throne?
I think that’s where this particular strip should be left!

Gee, you guys can be brutal when you want to be, can’t you?

Pay them no mind, Pab…people without a life always want to muck up the lives of those of us who have one!

If nothing is funny, why is he smiling?

Actually, when you know how the universe works, you find out it’s funny as hell.
Either that, or you laugh to keep sanity. :)

And with that where is the Queen ?

Last night I saw the trailer for this: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0962736/
Quite different from her adventures here, but I thought of all of you.

How can you be “Frank?” You’re already Pab!
Oh…..you’re both Frank and Pab simultaneously? ;-)garysnorton over 14 years ago

I just checked out the Express site. Many congratz but to this reader you add luster - and subtle wit - to the Express.

Lovely and funny, Pab. No explanations necessary.

The universe is entropic. It works on doing nothing. Nothing is funny that way.

Pab, people who don’t get jokes often blame the artist rather than their own lack of knowledge. It shouldn’t be taken personally.

It looked like The Particle from here.
