Update (6 March 2011): I decided to completely change the punchline of this strip since both things seem to work correctly now.
- Sandra: Mankind: Capable of building International Space Stations and Large Hadron Colliders. But not coat zippers.

oh so true… those zippers work ONCE and then are useless… the zipper on my coat actually fell off, so you know.
hmm… you know Ironically this exact same thing happened today.
You rule a lot for mentioning the LHC. ^^
Yup. Got a coat that can’t be zipped up, too.
Hate those coat zippers. Good thing i don’t need them here.
Ah yes, a problem which we struggle with every day. Especially when we are in a hurry.
I’ve never had too many problems with metal zippers. (Other than the occasional tooth falling out of some of my more ancient coats.) My problem tends to be with those plastic spiral-tooth zippers that either break or unravel from their foundation-strip and are nearly impossible to repair/replace without ruining the garment (usually very expensive) to which they’re attached.
My coat zippers work very well. But most trousers have their second zipper, because I killed the original one in a ‘zipper-won’t-f*cking-work’-rage XD
DDDDD
luckily my grandma could always fix the problem
Many years ago, i bought a Really Great leather jacket for $20 in a thrift shop; with sales tax, $21.
It had a busted zipper.
Cost to replace zipper: $21.
With Sales Tax, $22.05.
lol…that is why i usually go for non zippered if i can
I had that problem in my younger days. Even though Im not even 16 yet…
But that was sure bothering. Also, an AWESOME point more to you for you mentioning the LHC.
:3
So true. My LHC broke today. It’s gonna be awhile before I have enough to buy a new one
@fairportfan
Funny, I bought a leather jacket in a charity shop (thrift store) a few years back, and that had a broken zipper when I bought it. I’ve never bothered to have it fixed, because it still has snap fasteners that do the job in a pinch.
Nice use of Asterix swearing in the third panel…
My zipper problem is when a tooth is skipped, and it causes the zipper to open in the middle (on my backpack. pants are okay.)
I’ve had the same problem with at least four backpacks… So frustrating. The moments is only made worse, when the thing snaps in two. ;-;
Another person giving you MAJOR PROPS for mentioning the LHC.
I hear they currently need to fix it in order for it to run at full power, but cuz everyone’s been itching to smash things with it, they’re going to operate at half power for a year first.
Hmmm… why do those things never work?
Large Hadron Collider – works like a charm
International Space Station – mostly works
zippers – still suck after being used for at least a century
Yep, those zippers suck. Especially when you’re in buying something and you can’t get the wallet out of the pocket. Because of the zipper!
i feel you there.. really hate it when my LHC doesnt work :/
@ Snake:
The LHC failed. The international space station failed too. That’s the joke here.
@ Odos:
Same thing happened to my old hoodie, I replaced it 4 days ago but I’m having trouble not wearing it. I refuse to just throw it out, because It was a gift…
lol love panels three and four, especially her reaction and facial expression in three. Number four though, they DO know how to make coat zippers, they just don’t know how to FIX coat zippers.
