Now that Tobor has had a revival, how about a Cowboy Physics revival?

Mama, Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboy Physicists by Bargaintuan 7-17-03

So I says, "Well, them rotor turbines ain't gonna generate gravitons by themselves!" Bertrand, I'm leaving you. My lawyer will come by in the morning with the papers. And then you'll be able to generate gravitons or whatever else till you're blue in the face! GOOD-BYE! SLAM! Well, they ain't.

Life is a lot like getting mugged; you get your kicks, you take your punches, and when it's over, someone else gets your cash.

I was wondering which "Cowboy Physics" cartoon was the first one. Thanks to the handy search engine, I'll never wonder that again. I love so many of them, I made a comic earlier today that referenced the idea. Instead of posting it again here, though, I'll post this amazing older one of Kajun Firefly's.

Max physics by KajunFirefly 12-07-01

Brad and Max Hey Max, you know, your Cowboy Physics strip has caused quite a stir, everyone's going crazy for it! What? Cowboy Physics? Well, them rotor turbines ain't gonna generate gravitons by themselves! What the fuck was I talking about?

This year's international entry variation:

Cowboy eolas ríomhaire by jes_lawson 4-11-03

Diluain, an ranch... An mbeadh sé ar mo chumas greim a chur ar cuid bogearraí a úsáid ar mo ríomhaire? Ha ha! Dude! Níl mé saor ríomhchlár!

But nothing beats the original:

Cowboy physics by max 1-06-01

One day at the ranch... So I says, "Well, them rotor turbines ain't gonna generate gravitons by themselves!" Ha, ha! What the fuck are you talking about?

I sometimes wonder if max isn't just Brad under an assumed name, demonstrating why he doesn't do comics because his wit might outshine everyone.

Cowboy Psychics by fuzzyman 10-26-01

One day at the ranch... So I says, "Well, them rotor turbines ain't gonna generate gravitons by themselves!" Ha, ha! I knew you were going to say that.

And, "My Dinner with Andre the Cowboy" starts here...

Can a man who hasn't attempted one of these comics really call himself a man at all?

Cowboy Physics first job (1) by mmyers 7-18-03

Hey, cowboy, get off your ass. Those patties aren't going to grill themselves. I quit. What the fuck are you talking about?

Cowboy physics 1st job-Sweet revenge (2) by mmyers 7-18-03

25 years later at the Rotor Turbine factory... I finished cleaning up the bathroom. What else do you need me to do? Well, them rotor turbines ain't gonna generate gravitons by themselves! Boo-yah! What the fuck are you talking about? 25 years, baby, for 25 years I've been waiting to get you with that. Burned! What the fuck are you talking about? No, no, what the fuck are YOU talking about? Ha-HA!

Priest Physics by UnknownEric 11-15-02

So I said, "Altar boy, those rotor turbines aren't going to generate gravitons by themselves." Ha, ha, ha. Then you buggered him, right?

I has a flavor!

Since everyone else has done it at some point, I suppose I must.

Gravitons don't swing that way! by codehappykid 7-18-03

So I says, "Well, you could use them gravitons, if'n you wanted to cause a nukuler explosion!" HOT GIRLS! What the fuck are you talking about? What the fuck are YOU talking about?

HALPUU!

I wanted my half in the middle and I wound up on the edge.

You wonder correctly, my friend.

Cowboy Physics: On the job training by jes_lawson 7-18-03

Your main responsibility on this here ranch will to ensure the correct functionality of the graviton generators. Basically that comes down to heapin' a whole load of grease an' shit on the rotor turbines! What the fuck are you talking about?

I could do a whole series "A Day in the Life of a Cowboy Physicist. " But I'm all stripped out and I lugged 3 car loads of my crap into my new house up the A12 after work today after being up until 2am on #stripcreator. But enough about that.

Here's two of fuzzy's strips that made me leak fluid from more than one of my orifices simultaeneously in delight.

Unexpected - Episode 6 by fuzzyman 2-19-02

WHERE IS OUR LAMAZE INSTRUCTOR? CLASS WAS SUPPOSED TO START THREE MINUTES AGO! Not everybody has a built-in chronometer, Tobor. Be patient. TOBOR HAS A BAD FEELING ABOUT THIS. So our instructor is a little late. It can't be THAT bad. Howdy, cowpokes! Sorry I'm late! My rotor turbines weren't generating gravitons, and I had to take the bus! Okay, it CAN be that bad.

Unexpected - Episode 8 by fuzzyman 2-19-02

Okay, cowpokes, keep breathing and I'll tell you about the mystery of childbirth! It's a beautiful and wondrous thing! I'm sure you will agree! Here we go... *HUFF* *HUFF* *HUFF* *HUFF* *HUFF* *HUFF* *HUFF* *HUFF* Now picture this. You're out on the plains, see? You and your trusty mule, Lulubell. And she's about to give birth. She lays down and starts moanin' and groanin' and squirmin'! *HUFF* *HUFF* *HUFF* *HUFF* *HUFF* *HUFF* *HUFF* *HUFF* And all hell breaks loose! The head pops out, and there's blood, and gravitons, and rotor turbines flyin' everywhere! And the baby makes this sound like, "RRRREEEEEEEEEEEE!" I'm out of here. RIGHT BEHIND YOU.

We Lose More Cowboys That Way by Bargaintuan 7-19-03

I still don't think I'm guilty of inflicting any Tobor comics on the world, but I've played around with this one a bit.

Here's one that didn't win.

CC 143: Cowboy Feelings by not_Scyess 9-24-02

o/~ Physics... nothing more than, Physics... Trying not to forget my... physics... Physics, for all my life I'll feel it. I wish I've never met you, gravatrons; you'll never come again. o/~ What the fuck are you talking about?

Here's one that I think everyone's done at least once.

Physics Cowboys by not_Scyess 9-28-02

One day at the lab... So I said, "Them Brahma calves ain't gonna rope and tie themselves! Haha! What the fuck are you talking about?

And, of course, my favorite.

peddling the funny around since 09/24/2002

"Physics Cowboys" is among my favourites of the post-"Cowboy Physics" strips.

Brilliant.

...Trot and Cap'n Bill were free from anxiety and care. Button-Bright never worried about anything. The Scarecrow, not being able to sleep, looked out of the window and tried to count the stars.

I suppose I should embarrass myself with my foray into graviton generation as well.

CC180 or so: Kaufman physics? by flickguy 4-08-03

**Skrawwww!** Generating Gravitons... **Rawwwwk** Ha, Ha! What the fuck are you squawking about?

(It seemed funny at the time.)

This is not my empire.

In the set of all things at which I suck, the "Cowboy Physics" meme is a member. This one still makes me chuckle, though:

CC 97: Cowboy Sales Pitch by kaufman 2-01-02

So I said, "Well, them rotor turbines ain't gonna generate gravitons by themselves." Ha, ha. Thats why we feed them a nutritious breakfast of Quarks every day. That's right, Clem. Quarks can increase yer graviton production by over 310%. But remember, nearby black holes and supernovas shore are likely to affect yer performance. And now there's new Quarks for Cats, invented by none other than Dr. Schroedinger himself! What the fuck are you talking about?

Cowboy Outtakes by Bargaintuan 7-20-03

One day at the studio... So I says, "Well, them graviton generators ain't gonna rotor—" Er, what's the line again? Ha, ha! TAKE 2... So I says, "Well, them rotor turbines ain't gonna gravitate generons by them—" Dammit! Ha, ha! TAKE 47... So, I says, "Them rotory turbans ain't—" Screw it. Can we break for lunch? Ha, ha!

Poop.

Cowboy Triginometry by Rabid_Weasle 7-23-03

So then I says, "The sine of angle theta is equal to the tangent of angle alpha times pi." Haha! But seriously, don't change the subject. What the fuck were you talking about?
