I've drawn a cartoon (I have no idea who to sell it to) but that's not the problem.
The cartoon features a science/maths lecturer in front of his students who's just laid out a massive formula on the blackboard, all weird signs and brackets. At the end he has written the lengthy equation's conclusion which is "Bush Is An Asshole".
A stern secretary-type woman stands at the door and she delivers the punchline which is: "Mister Hopkins, the Dean would like to see you".
Is that enough? If you think so, I'll leave it at that.
I was looking for a phrase that scientists use to describe the integrity of successful mathematical formulae, something along the lines of "the science is solid" or the science is cast iron". In other words, they have done their homework thoroughly, and the figures are irrefutable.
I'm looking for that pithy phrase. Anyone?

"Way to go, Einstein!"

I knew I should have posted this on the CCGB forum.

Clinically proven...
Nine out of ten dentists said their cats preferred it...
Scientific Fact...
As tested on Robots...

I think it is funny as it is.

I'm in there too, Malc, but of course I'd have given you a much better suggestion there, had you done so.
Diane, you're too nice!
But she's certainly got a point, Malc - I actually thought your description was funny up to the Bush punchline - I didn't see the need for the stern secretary, nor any additional wording at all.
But then I'm generous to a fault, you ungrateful git.
-
I sort of agree with Tranquil. I thought it stood alone, without the secretary at the door and punchline. However, I can also see it as an extended joke with those additions.
-
How about QED in latin
-
Malc, it works fine as it is and it NEEDS the secretary at the door. This shows he's in some kind of official facility (rather than simply being on his own somewhere) and, for me, adds to an already good gag.
-
Let the reader do the hard work.....
Secretary. Well you got the answer Einstein.. Now what was the question?
-
OK, I'll post it later, once I've remembered the password to my own blog site. I need to load it there before I can load it here.
QED.
-
One version of the gag I had in my mind was to stage it with no students, and with the lecturer out of the room.
Two professors stand in front of the lecturer's blackboard, on which the long and convoluted equation has been written and the punchline would be something like: "I think professor Peabody needs a break".
I don't just fling these things together you know.
-
I'd have him being taken, away under restraint, by Security, while declaring, "The science is solid, I tells yah!"
I'm not a cartoonist though - I just fling these things together.
-
Did I just click on "Post"? Dammit!
-
I quite liked that, Fy!
-
Fyodor, I have DRAWN the bloody thing already, I just want to consult you
idiots respected colleagues on the punchline.
Yours is the equivalent of the lost motorist who asks a passer-by for directions only to be told "well I wouldn't start from here..."
-
What colour did you do the prof's jacket - I hope it is not too late to change it to blue. I like blue.

That would be a brilliant punchline: "Well, I wouldn't start from here".
Diane - I like blue too, but it's not a funny colour. I'm hoping the jacket was a coat, and the coat was white.

Well, I wouldn't.

My blog is a little bit knackered at the moment I'm trying to get it sorted, but the cartoon is here.

How did he write the equations at the top? He is not tall enough.

His desk is on castors, bone-head. I know, I know...Health & Safety, and all that...
I was wrong, Malky (about the secretary), but I'm glad you left it at that.
-
Excellent.
-
His maths may be spot on, but his knowledge of anatomy is questionable.
-
I love the way the "therefore" follows on from an identity matrix.
It's a bit like saying "1 and therefore my conclusion is . . .".
Apart from that, it's brilliant.
-
It's a bit like saying "1 and therefore my conclusion is . . .".
Er...didn't you actually start a thread with "1"? Did you therefore not invite us to offer conclusions?
WELL???!!!!
Oh, and that might be the mathematical sign for "therefore", but it might also be some alka selzer bubbles coming out of the glass.

I quite like the well-developed girl in the green top.

The boy in the front row looks like his head is already full.

The class is representational. A blonde, a brunette, a redhead and a macrocephalic.
