The thing that confuses me about this strip? Lucy can't fill the balloon with air, right, so she drags it along the ground. But what if she had been able to blow it up, what then? She isn't breathing helium after all; the balloon would still be earthbound.
By comic convention, any inflated balloon is lighter than air.
ReplyDeleteThis is obviously not the case, but you can imagine she's inhaling all of the helium in order to become delightfully lightheaded.
