Attagirl, Larisa!
Is violating the laws of gravity against the school rules or something? Oh well she deserves an A+ for that anyway.
It’s still better than that time Larisa broke the second law of thermodynamics. She never stopped, in fact, she didn’t even slow down!
the translation to english in the last panel is quite bad, ‘Larisa, stop violating the laws of gravity right now!’ would be better
I don’t quite understand the grammar. She’s supposed to stop violating the laws of gravity to violate the laws of gravity?
That will teah it to the teacher that Larisa can do whatever she want…..or she will burn you
Dafuq just happened?
The last panel seems like a bad translation from another language; it isn’t correct English grammar. The correct way is: “Larissa, stop violating the laws of gravity during my class right now!”
“She’s broken every human law,
She breaks the law of gravity!
Her powers of levitation would make a fakir stare;
And when you try to find her, LARISA IS NOT THERE!”
– apologies to T. S. Eliot and especially to McCavity
nothing with wrong with the grammar
@ a person: technically, no nothing is wrong with it but it sounds awkward when you first read it for some reason. Actually I just read it again and it makes more sense now.
Use the Force!
Love using fire? check.
Able to float and defying gravity/flight? check.
Wanting someone else boyfriend? check.
Hiding a secret from her friends? check.
Larissa is confirmed as Phoenix/Jean Grey/Madeline Pryor from X-Men, or one of her alternate universe version.
I knew there would be a moment where Larisa would make things look easy.
Somehow lately Sandra and Woo strips became boring 🙁 Maybe that’s the lack of proper storylines… Sorry.
The only fundamental reason not to go defying gravitational laws is that you can cause distortions in spacetime, time dilation effects, and gravitational lensing if you do it wrong. However Larisa, here, is just… hang on, should that background pattern be straight? Perhaps this is more serious than I thought.
Of course, poking holes in space would just be small beer to Larisa. What she really wants to do is to start lowering Planck’s Constant, reducing the amount of energy required to emit a quantum of radiation, thereby increasing the amount of heat radiated by every object in the universe until everything catches fire. Not blackmail, but black body radiation!
…which means that, in the interests of humanity, the PE teacher should just hand over the A+, Sandra should hand over the boyfriend, and hopefully she’ll be too distracted for anybody’s cosmos to get hurt. We could hand over Justin Bieber too. Just for the hell of it. Regardless of whether she likes him or not… …it’s a win-win situation, if you think about it. >>=)>
What? You’re supposed to acually FOLLOW the law of gravity?
…….
AND not play with fire?!?!
Man, laws of this world stink…
And then Larisa reveals after her A+ offer was refused, she’s not violating the laws of Gravity.
She’s lifting it. *everyone’s upside-down-screaming-oh-noooooo!*
I wonder if breaking the law of the gravity is hard to do…
I hope to see the ponies again soon.
@ leon:
How…? It seems to be correct.
It seems that Larissa is evidently demonstrating her talents as Paramount Grandmaster Psychokinetic.
YEAH LARISA, STOP VIOLATING THE LAWS OF GRAVITY IN GYM CLASS….save it for physics 😛
@ AckAckAck:
Technically this would also qualify her as possibly being an alternate universe female human torch, or the pyro from Team Fortress 2.
The laws of gravity are being violated in the gym class. The Gym teacher don’t want anything to being violated, so she’s telling Larisa to stop violating the laws of Gravety in her class. – This is for all the people deciding to be grammer nazi’s on a line that was perfectly well placed.
btw, long time reader, first time to actually look at the comments. Keep up the great work.
You know… considering that the assignment is to do a chin up the teacher didn’t say HOW to do it….
And just a side note, none of my gym teachers never did either, so its really only her own fault lol
Panel two is technically possible if she’s rotating around the bar pretty fast.
my gym teacher was the physics teacher at my school
Lol, either she really is violating the laws of physics, or she has a REALLY tough hand.
Russian gymnastics.
What can I say?
And I thought Larisa was the unhealthy one…..
when running after an Eagle that caught Woo.
Larisa has disrupted the time continuum, creating a new temporal event sequence resulting in this alternate reality where laws of physics don’t work while doing horizontal bar exercises.

she didn´t brake it, she fufiled it.
On the other hand, gravity may not be that unbrokable as you thing. It is still theoreticaly possible for antimatter to be repulsed from normal matter. We just need an experiment with low energetic electricaly uncharged piece of antimatter without interference from magnetic and electric fields. (sadly even anti atom has inner magnetic momentum and acs as electric dipole and so is effected by EM field) to observe how will antimatter interact with matter when gravity is concerned.
If it actualy repulses each other then their annihilation should also produce gravityand antigravity waves. We have no way of measure that yet, but well… then Alcubierre drives (or more populary warp drives, or Mass effect drives) should be possible.
Violating laws of gravity is too harsh of an accusation when we are not sure to understand them properly
It’s just because she’s Russian am I right? That’s a stereotype ya know! >:[
…
Still fun. 😉
The gym teacher reminds me of Mrs. Garbunkle :3 ABC’s Christmas Special “Frosty Returns”, anyone?
Sandra could learn a lot from Larisa.
@ digizaruk:
But Human Torch already hooked up with that shape shifting lady so the connection is off. And Pyro….. well, Valve promise Meet the Pyro video will be released in 2012, so we need to wait.
Unless they use Valve time…..
@ Rinta:
Yes, but even a proper storyline develops over time. An expression of love is not one that serves a quantifiable formula. If chemistry doesn’t work on a basis of one plus one equals two, and if “I” before “E” except after “C” has been disproven by SCIENCE, then obviously there is more to being addictive or socially contagious than technical skill and knowledge alone. Maintenance requires more effective planning than simply having fun. And, as soon as I figure out how to do it myself I’ll let you know…after I’ve finished enjoying the fruits of my labors and gotten tired of watching the dura-flames.
@ John the Wysard:
Darn, you beat me to it.
My guess? Larisa using an elaborate set-up with monofilament line. BECAUSE SHE CAN.
Uh, Why?
WOOHOO!!!! go Larisa!!!
Larisa: “As Elmer Fudd would say “I never studied law…..””
The bar is the cosmic divider. She’s really falling Up.

No! If antimatter fell “up”, it would violate the Equivalence Principle. It would rise to the ceiling of a closed room sitting on the surface of the Earth. But leave some in the center of a room freely falling in space and then force the room upwards with below-the-floor rockets. The antimatter would remain in place while the floor rose to meet it. You’re not supposed to be able to tell whether you’re experiencing gravity or acceleration (provided you can’t see outside and provided the room is small enough that tidal forces are negligible.)
Larissa is just too stubborn to fall!
Perfect, the pyro is psychic now. JUST what we need. Well I for one welcome our future psychic overlord when she takes over the planet.
@ Neutrino:
nope. Equivalence would still work. Yes it would rise to the ceiling on Earth.
but you are wrong in the room “falling” through space… free fall is effect of gravity that would effect that room… it would also effect the piece of antimatter- that would be repulsed in oposite direction of the falling room, with acceleration of same magnitude but opposite direction. Technicaly… it would hit the roof too.
If it was in the room freely moving through space without any acceleration and only gravitic influence was the room and piece of the antimatter in the middle it would not move at all. Forget Newton, go general relativity- that can work with repulsive gravity easily.
WOOT! go Larisa!
Wow! Even her clothes and hair are falling upwards!
it may be blackmail but it works.
It’s hard to prove that she’s violating the law of gravity. And if she’s not violating the law of gravity, she deserves an A+. Ergo: give her the A+.
Also, I am a grammar Nazi and I find nothing wrong with the grammar in this comic. It doesn’t look wrong, it doesn’t sound wrong, and it definitely doesn’t taste wrong.
