@Anon: they might be different but they’re treated equivalently within a relativistic framework. Maybe you need to go a bit further than basic physics.

And the moral of the story is… modernism is a lame pretense to sell poorly made things to morons.

As someone who has studied basic physics, I can quite safely say that time and space (i.e. distance/displacement) are two completely different things.

I used to think, in it’s early stages, that Cat and Girl was kind of post-modern, in an adorable apathetic-teen type of way.

But the last few years, Girl seems to have developed more of a leftist conscience…which makes it easier for me to relate to her, but now it feels like there’s an everyday partisan wedge between her and Cat. Like she’s the angry aspiring activist daughter and he’s the wry, curmudgeonly old father who thinks she’s being naive.

But maybe I’m just projecting what I see around me onto the strip. It’s still funny, anyways.

If you’re in a cell, you don’t need to be chained. But I wouldn’t be surprised if they do it at Gitmo anyway.

BTW, is that a nuke going off in the 4th panel, or just a large conventional weapon? I don’t see a mushroom cloud.

I’ve travelled with people who seem ton think of London as the peak of developed civilisation. So whenever they encounter something different from the western urban sophisticated norm they consider it to be less developed and speculate on when it will be modernised. The implication is that places that are far away are also a long time ago.

On the other hand, people in rural areas also often seem to see themselves as backwards and fail to appreciate that diversity of culture and local, environmentally friendly life styles are important to our present state of development.

So no, I don’t think I agree with how Girl argues that time and space are similar. Or maybe I just don’t understand it.

Still, its nice to have a Cat and Girl that gets me thinking.

As a cell owner, I’ll have to think about the chain idea…

What’s new is terrifying, what’s old is comforting, even if what’s old now was terrifying when it was new. Case in point; Born-again Christians embracing hip-hop.
