- Sandra: You know you have too much homework when its gravitational pull exceeds that of earth!
- Richard: Okay, fine, I’ll have a talk with your physics teacher about it.

That is not right… I though only Larisa was allowed to brake laws of physics
I can relate.
Higher maths : daily homework that is given on the Internet, on top of whatever she decides to give us at the end of the lesson, on top of weekly homework that we get which takes frickin hours to do.
I swear my maths teacher thinks I have no other subjects which I get homework for too.
You might get some extra credit if you can pass this off as a science experiment.
That’s a bit much, don’t you think?
???
Where is the homework? In her backpack?
I can see everything else in the room being attracted to it — but the bag itself ought to be on the floor. The little “motion lines” make it look like it’s hovering.
Well, to be fair…there’d be less mass if she was actually doing the homework rather than reading a bird book. (Unless that’s also homework.)
Next strip: The kids all hand in their homework. It fuses into a singularity that consumes the teachers and the school.
Dorothy Cambridge: I may have been thrown out of the path of a bullet there.
Alien Captain: So it would seem. But, back to the lesson. The Aniuxoyl race has thirteen distinct genders, and gender relations are fraught to say the least…
>:=)>
… But the paper used to make the homework has to come from somewhere…
Like this is the first time that the laws of physics have been slightly fudged over.
And by slightly I mean utterly, and fudged over I mean decimated.
I don’t think they understand the GRAVITY of the situation, get it, because gravity, and the thing has gravity, ill go now…
In other news, Isaac Newton was found rolling in his grave.
I’m offended that Sandra likes The Hunger Games! Okay, not really but I still don’t like the series. One minute Katniss doesn’t care at all about Peeta and the next, she is freaking out about why he doesn’t want to train with her anymore.
No, Larisa has the exclusive only on those of Thermodynamics. I guess Mechanics is free for all@ Paeris Kiran:
If I remember correctly, her surname isn’t Bullock… 😉

No, there’d be more mass, because there would be her answers in addition to the questions.
Soon the world will be rip apart by too much homework.
Sandra looks so diffrent
Medically speaking, the weight of your backpack should only be 1/10 of your own weight. I always see these 60-lb 11-year-old girls carrying these 15-lb backpacks, and that’s just not good for your back.
@ Paeris Kiran:
Brake as in slow them down? AHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA I’m so funny. [/GrammarNazi]
It really feels like this at times…
Maybe it’s a project on black holes?
Worthy of XKCD
This is heavy.
Having a talk with teacher of physics might help… it is not how it would look like if gravitational pull of Homework exceeds that of an Earth… Back back would be actually attracting Earth too so it would be still stuck to Earth, though it would be hard to get away from it…
@ Trimutius:
Wanted to say “Backpack” but it ended being “Back back”… How do I even manage to do such typos…
If it’s physics homework then she should know already that gravitational force decreases with distance, so all she has to do is to launch her backpack into space. Ask Landon, he’ll probably have an idea!

I am interested in knowing where you got that medical figure of 1/10th. A military backpack weighs 55 lbs. and we are expected to do 20 mile forced marches with them…. so you’re saying that a marine should be at least 600 lbs to qualify?
This is how I feel whenever I have to get a bunch of extra comics drawn before a convention.
@ Paeris Kiran:
Well, technically, Larisa DEFIES the laws of physics. She doesn’t BREAK them.
Damn. I do not want to go to that school.
Makes my homework look whimpy.

Tell it to the teachers that give out those heavy ass textbooks. Back in elementary school my book bag could have been used as an anchor. Also maybe that’s why my neck randomly hurts. Or it could just be the way I sleep. \(0__0)/
Larisa doesn’t see them as laws, only as guidelines! 😉 @ Jumtrev:
Uh sorry for Multi posting but what does this have to do with Hunger Games?
Switch Master wrote:
The bird image on the book is from “Mockingjay”, the last book in the Hunger Games series.
I knew textbooks were dense, but I didn’t think they meant it quite so literally… 😛
See that, That is how katamaris begin.

I wouldn’t say it’s defies so much as glaring at them until they back down.
@ MawileCeyvis:
10% of your body weight? Dude I had single BOOKS that weighed more than that when I was in high school.
I can’t help but love this particular comic
@ Crestlinger:
YES. A THOUSAND TIMES YES.
If only we had the thumbs ups still…
Beds have a much greater Gravitational Pull, especially early in the morning!
Hiiiiijole vato Wei!
I’m so glad that I am no longer subjected to such gravity wells. Though I did enjoy some aspects of science, I found it fun, except for the homework!
Ah yes, everyone knows that procrastination combined with homeworks has an exponential effect on the homeworks importance, weight and difficulty….
Maybe we should try to solve how long she’s been procrastinating? 🙂

You’re talking about fit soldiers (mostly male) using well engineered equipment, not school age children using things that barely qualify as backpacks. Needless to say, they can carry more for longer periods of time with a lot less strain on their backs.
That said, I think 15%-20% is the more common recommendation for children’s backpacks than 10%.

Can’t argue with facts.
You know your daughter hasn’t been doing enough on her homework when its mass starts to defy the laws of physics. 😉
Edda wrote:
The mass of the homework has locally become ‘the center of everything’. Everything else is orbiting around it, with heavier objects, better capable of resisting the pull (like the house’s structure and the earth it stands on) at a greater distance than the lighter things (like Sandra and her dad). :p
@ secretqwerty10:
Older, isn’t it?
I don’t know about you guys, but I did get the most absurd pileup of homework from my physics teacher. It was the only time my mom sent a note objecting to the workload.
The difference is, I was 15 and in tenth grade. At Sandra’s age, I could take only one science class other than math: “science.”
