/  VII. Certain bodies can pass through   \
| solid walls painted to resemble tunnel  |
|                                         |
| entrances; others cannot.               |
|                                         |
| This trompe l'oeil inconsistency has    |
| baffled generations, but at least       |
|                                         |
| it is known that whoever paints an      |
| entrance on a wall's surface to         |
|                                         |
| trick an opponent will be unable to     |
| pursue him into this theoretical        |
|                                         |
| space. The painter is flattened against |
| the wall when he attempts to            |
|                                         |
| follow into the painting. This is       |
| ultimately a problem of art, not        |
|                                         |
| of science. VIII. Any violent           |
| rearrangement of feline matter is       |
| impermanent.                            |
|                                         |
| Cartoon cats possess even more deaths   |
| than the traditional nine lives         |
|                                         |
| might comfortably afford. They can be   |
| decimated, spliced, splayed,            |
|                                         |
| accordion-pleated, spindled, or         |
| disassembled, but they cannot be        |
|                                         |
| destroyed. After a few moments of       |
| blinking self pity, they reinflate,     |
|                                         |
| elongate, snap back, or solidify.       |
|                                         |
| IX. For every vengeance there is an     |
| equal and opposite revengeance.         |
|                                         |
| This is the one law of animated cartoon |
| motion that also applies to             |
|                                         |
| the physical world at large. For that   |
| reason, we need the relief of           |
|                                         |
| watching it happen to a duck instead.   |
|                                         |
| X. Everything falls faster than an      |
| anvil.                                  |
|                                         |
| Examples too numerous to mention from   |
| the Roadrunner cartoons.                |
|                                         |
