| Beer, AmigaDOS Beer fans are an |
| extremely loyal and loud group. It |
| originally came in a 16-oz. can, but |

| can was originally introduced, it |
| appeared flashy and colorful, but the |
| design hasn't changed much over the |

/ 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. |
| |
| -- Esquire, "O'Donnell's Laws of |
\ Cartoon Motion", June 1980 /
