On Today's Alley Oop, 9 August 2021

Joey has proven time after time that she has no understanding of science or scientific terms. Today she mangles a very basic astronomical concepm, light-year. A light-year the distance that light travel in a year so it is a measure of distance not of time. A a physicist like Elbert Wonmug would know that. Whether they can live long enough to travel 40,000 light years is dependent about how fast they are travelling not that they are going that far. If they can travel that distance in five minutes, I think they will survive.

Joey, of course, uses such an absurd number to set up the "we won't live that long" joke. But isn't Frodd just going home for dinner? They need suspended animation for that? Won't dinner be cold by the time they get there? And for that matter, why is this guy on a moon around a planet so far from his home? There has to be a planet or two closer than this to play his video games on. And how does he breathe on a world with no air? I'm beginning to thing that the bigger "frodd" in this mess is Ms.Sayers.
