Cartoon Law Amendment B
The
laws of object permanence are nullified for "cool" characters.
Characters who are intended to be "cool" can make previously nonexistent objects appear
from behind their backs at will. For instance, the Road Runner can materialize
signs to express
himself without speaking.
Cartoon Law Amendment C
Explosive
weapons cannot cause fatal injuries. They merely turn characters temporarily
black and smoky.
Cartoon Law Amendment D
Gravity
is transmitted by slow-moving waves of large wavelengths. Their operation can
be witnessed by observing the behavior of a canine suspended over a large vertical
drop. Its feet will begin to fall first, causing its legs to stretch. As the wave reaches its torso, that part will
begin to fall, causing the neck to stretch. As the head begins to fall,
tension is released and the canine will resume its regular proportions until such
time as it strikes the ground.
Cartoon Law Amendment E
Dynamite
is spontaneously generated in "C-spaces" (spaces in which cartoon
laws hold). The process is analogous to steady-state theories of the universe
which postulated that the tensions involved in maintaining a space would cause
the creation
of hydrogen from nothing. Dynamite quanta are quite large (stick sized) and
unstable (lit). Such quanta are attracted to psychic forces generated by
feelings of distress in "cool" characters (see Amendment B, which
may be a special case of this law), who are able to use said quanta to their advantage.
One may imagine C-spaces where all matter and energy result from primal masses of dynamite
exploding. A big bang indeed.
