>These somehow remind me of Road Runner where they would run out over a cliff edge and not fall until they noticed. Or in Bugs Bunny where a hole could be moved simply by picking it up; blurring the line between the character and the cartoonist.
Also, laws of physics are routinely ignored in cartoons, as when an object (e.g., a huge rock in roadrunner and coyote) falls, rebounds, and ends up higher than its original position (the law in question is the law of conservation of physics). In one case, the roadrunner states that he never studied law!

Difference in opinions hath cost many millions of lives: for instance, whether flesh be bread, or bread be flesh; whether whistling be a vice or a virtue; whether it be better to kiss a post, or throw it into the fire... (from Gulliver's Travels)
