If the comic book explanation was relevant the strip wouldn't have ignored it.

If the comicbook explanation wasn't relevant, the Flash wouldn't move that fast.

Also, what kind of grown-up talks about cartoon physics?

The horrible kind.

Aura is the derivative of the fugacity with respect to entropy at constant pressure.

I am sick of your witchcraft, Oldrac!

People, people.. we've gone way off track with all this debate about magic and science. Hopefully we can all agree that today's six-panel comic was not funny at all.

This comment made me laugh.
Because you defend the comic book fictional physics, because without it the fictional character wouldn't be able to perform a fictional skill.
And no fictional character can possible move fast with out a physics explanation.
Except of course in my uber-short story I just wrote:

Jon ran from Duluth to Houston in under 3 seconds.

Oh! I know this one!
Duluth and Houston are the names of two Goldfish!

The doctor's a woman, and she can't operate on her son!

How dare you analyze my story. It is my story. You don't have the authorship, so you can't say what it means.

Damn post-structuralists...

While I appreciate the commentary on Feminism, I never did understand why the kid couldn't have two dads.

I dunno. Maybe you're allowed to operate on someone if they're not biologically related??

Even assuming the science is decent with the speed force--wouldn't catching the woman who is at or near terminal velocity just serve to kill both flash, who doesn't have super strength, and the woman? The stop is still too sudden. Also, how does the guy in the first panel find out that boomerang man threw her off the building? Did he miraculously answer his phone and get the information to flash in less than a second? Is that his job? Or does he have ESP or some other link with someone in New York who happened to be watching the empire state building at just the right time while the guy happened to be chilling with flash? The accepted portions of this comic bug me more than the bits it pokes fun at.
