On Today's Alley Oop - 19 May 2021

I'm not a physicist so my understanding of what multiple universes really means is likely wrong. But Joey seems to have even less understanding and whatever her concept is, after two-and-a-half years of writing this strip, remains shrouded in mystery. It appears - and I could be way wrong on this - is that the multiple universes are somewhat similar with differences caused by a divergence of events where there are two or more possible outcomes, e.g. a person is offered a job offer in a foreign county and in one universe accepts it but in the parallel universe decides to stay where he is. That sort of makes sense. In Joey's view, the universes are just wildly and randomly different and the differences cannot be explained by assuming different event outcomes. One universe is filled with puppy dogs while another is populated solely by butlers, all of them apparently men and apparently serving nobody. Randomly they are numbered but the numbers mostly have no meaning and why they are different is not explained. Universe #1 is the universe created by V.T. Hamlin so it could easily be called the Classic Universe. Since Joey assumed the writing, our heroes landed in Universe 2, the "Silly Universe", where supposedly the only difference is that there are no, and will never be, tacos. Left unexplained is what happened to this universe's Alley Oop and Ooola.  Universe #3 brought us not only dancing statues but an Oop and Ooola who live only in the 21st Century and act as "Time Police" although under what authority hasn't been explained. Today it was revealed that the terrible, gigantic  Chrabs hail from Universe #7 which must be radically different because we don't have monster-sized crabs running around. Joey suggests that the universes are separated by distance in saying that the Chrab universe is close to the Silly Universe. That is a concept that I cannot find is supported by any scientific theory. What's the point of creating a concept such as multiple universes if you can't explain it or have it make sense? Isn't that what good writers are supposed to do?
