Elyrest, Thank you for enlightening me. Who would have thought you could actually learn something from reading comic strips.

Part of what made Schrodinger’s Outlaw funny was that it requires just a bit of knowledge to understand. Wit is humor that uses, flatters, & improves the audience’s intelligence or knowledge.

Morris is right. We could say that the poster is a self-fulfilling prophecy. The outlaw is ALREADY dead and alive. (As is the cat, as are we all, which is what made Schrodinger’s observation so wonderful.)

Ah. Thanks, different Patrick. I guess you can tell that I’m not much of a bowler.

Usual John — it’s implying that used bowling shoes are toxic.

Can someone explain Desert Sands to me? Is it just the incongruity of the bowling shoes, or is there more to it than that?

Prediction: Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal will never, ever, have another cartoon as funny as the Jesus one. And not many other strips will, either.

Tim — that’s “The Man”, by Ray Bradbury.

I thought the Jesus one was hilarious too. Can’t say I blame him too much!

I read a science fiction short story once that dealt with the idea of Jesus traveling from planet to planet. There was a character who was a space traveler who was tracking down Jesus and, at the end, had arrived (again) just after Jesus had left.

Does anyone know the title of this story???????

Rainey, it involves the concept of Schrödinger’s cat who might be alive or it might be dead depending on events. Read up on it in Wikipedia - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schr%C3%B6dinger%27s_cat.
