Explode? Crap, Art's well earned money will go to waste D:.

it's sad that it can't walk up the stairs, so they make it explode instead.
makes sense

AWWWW...cuuute.
The Squirrel Girls have different shirts on.

Maybe that means that now that they've been away from "Q" for a while they are developing as individuals.

Ha! I knew that there would be an explosion in the end! I KNEW it!!!

Now, consider the sort of energy that will need to build up in a slinky (constructed of the amalgam of iron and carbon called steel) to cause its molecular bonds to fracture and it to explode. I'm pretty sure it will be similar to the energy yield from a matter/antimatter reaction from an object of similar mass. That means that the slinky is now essentially a walking nuclear bomb.

Get it out of the house.

Now.

But I don't get why it would explode. It's constantly moving, and so it is constantly expending energy, so, therefore, wouldn't it just keep going on forever anyway, sans explosion?

Or, does it also trap the energy it expends? In which case, I would say, a.) OHMYGOODLORDRUN. RUN AWAY. And, b.) this is why we haven't solved perpetual motion yet. And shouldn't.

The girls just created a memory-leak.

Seriously though; if it continually gathers energy, would it not also gather mass? A certain someone said that E=mc^2. So as it gathers energy, it will also increase in mass, untill it reaches critical-mass. Thus, they just created the universe.

God is a fucking squirrel...

EDIT: BTW, I had to create a new account, since my old "Znickarn'" accout seems to have been killed. It's good to be back! But I lost my postcount!!1 T.T

God is a fucking squirrel...

LOLed SO HARD. Not just 1 squirrel... 4 hot chick squirrels O_o

I lolled also at Kats` reactions: WITH A SLANKY?!
And that face when she looks up when Scarlet says: Until the explosion...

LOL

I knew this would end in an explosion. Science is when things go boom, especially when the Quinquads are involved.

I know, I laughed too. Her reaction is kinda like in Back to the Future: "You built a time machine...? Out of a DeLorean??" Good times.

I take back everything I said in the last strip forum about it not being as dramatic or as destructive as I thought. Fortunately, it looks like an easy fix:

1. Open door to outdoors.
2. Nudge Slanky with broom twoards door.
3. Watch gravity-defying Slanky shoot high up into the air.
4. Turn and walk away in slow motion while putting on sunglasses as the Slanky explodes high above, making for an impressive climatic ending. Unfortunately, due to the positioning of the camera in order to capture both the hero and the explosion, the hero's (most likely Art's) errant nose hair will be quite apparent.

hm hm hm. Kat's face....heh heh heh. Doesn't get any better. I have to say that this is my favorite strip of all time. Just from there faces.

Real Slankies(TM) don't climb stairs - they level the building!

np: Slowdive - Blue Skied An' Clear (Pygmalion (Disc 1))

It is amazing that Pip´s comic collection have suffered slight to no damage since this comic began, with all the crazy stuff going on in there!

Hah, Cavoration process, I totally get that reference

Cavorite! Outstanding. But will it go through a complete Wellsian transmogrification before exploding?

I dunno, Verne.
