Eric Adler crooning
Comissioned Piece: "Not the expected result." aka "Oops."
Here we have Wile E. Coyote, Eric Adler, and Ludwig Von Drake, each a genius in his own field, having a 'polite discussion' (faculty-speak for 'immature shouting match') about the updates to the science curriculum at the local Looniversity.

There's some disagreement about how the gravitational acceleration should be presented for the new students. Don't worry, they'll get it all sorted out by lunch, it's Eric's turn to select the restaurant, and he's NOT going to miss the chance to introduce these two to sushi.

Thanks to

for sneaking onto the blackboard cosplaying as Tank, the pet turtle of Rainbow Dash.

I also need to thank Babs again for that stylin' do. Every time she gets her paws on my feathered form it's like another episode of Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, except she's not queer, or a guy... I think I'm having a metaphor breakdown here, sorry about that.

On a technical note, I did do a slight edit, my tailfeathers are white, not brown.

"Cartoon Physics" is an oxymoron.
This is entirely a philosophical debate. Much like Trekkies arguing about how transporters work.

Nice to see you again, my friend of the crystal balls! :D

There's no philosophical debate, you're right about it being an oxymoron. That "term" is precisely an expression to refer to when there are NO laws of physics and/or because they are being violated... not in a way that is plausible or for a consistent reason within the world (like a character who is able to control how much the pull of gravity affects them because they have a high-tech device, or a superpower or a spell... which although there is usually a lot of "handwave" and sometimes the "a machine did it" is used very much like "a wizard did it"... at least rules, limits and how the characters control that are established; how well or badly those rules are respected and manipulated usually determines the level of quality of the writing, and/or how hard sci-fi or fantasy it is).
Cartoons have been just jokes since their origins. They don't take themselves seriously. And what science can there be (what scientific method) when the trajectory of a projectile or the free fall of a rock it's not something predictable because it can be drastically affected simply by karma or how cool a character is? XD

Wow! I thought I was the only one who remembered Ludwig Von Drake. ^_^

What's Wile E. Coyote doing there? All he does is buy products from a catalog (ACME magazine?), some of them of dubious quality, but usually even apply them poorly. But... I suppose his interest in bothering with technology and learn how to use it makes him considerably smarter (or curiosity inclined) than most cartoon characters... and I suppose all that trial and error must teach him something. I'm just saying that one thing it's to see an idea or device and just try to apply it, while it's quite another to use anything (like just your hands or a stick) to achieve ingenious things that most people would need a device to do that (like the ancient Greeks who were able to calculate the circumference of the Earth just by using a stick and counting steps, or just by deduction come to the conclusion that the theory of elements was false and that there are actually atoms composing everything, or just with some pulleys and levers to lift a whole ship).

But it's true that great geniuses who first conceive or invent things are few. Most scientists simply study what others have done and how they did it in order to continue replicating or perfecting/refining it... which is also complicated. But Wile, as far as I know, never, or rarely, managed to properly apply those devices (from start to finish, because even if he used them well at first, he soon overused them or made mistakes/indiscretions).
But it's true that he's certainly gotten a fair amount of practical experience with how physics works through firsthand experience, a lot of practical experimentation, hahaha, but as far as I know, he never wrote anything down, like how fast he was falling off the cliffs (or how long he remained suspended in the air by... inertia?) or the trajectory described by the falling rocks... that could be interesting, there's something strange about those moving shadows... Are the gusts of wind that strong or is there something pushing those rocks as they fall?

This reminds me a bit of the crossover episode between Futurama and The Simpsons where, between the Professor Farnsworth and Springfield's Professor Frink, Lisa Simpson was there, intervening... who is certainly a child genius (or she was, in the good episodes), but she's just 8 years old and still receiving standard education; she stands out for her common sense and in her class, but at that educational level. I think she did not stand out in a school for gifted children or when she was among university students. But anyway, in that case, Lisa Simpson was there simply because she was there (following the group she was with (or did the Professors get to work in the basement of Lisa's house?)), and she intervened, asking questions, wanting to know... that was right, and was satisfying how with raw intelligence/reason she could see the holes/errors in the explanations XD

Wile E. has not only shown himself do be a self-proclamed "Super Genius" (It was even on his business card) when squaring off against Bugs Bunny (Before Bugs outsmarted him over and over again in that one cartoon), he is also the Science professor at Acme Looniversity in both Tiny Toons Adventures and Tiny Toons Looniversity. So he is a valid WB counterpoint to Ludwig Von Drake.

I didn't know that detail about him being a professor at Looniversity, interesting :D
Although... "Acme Looniversity"? Is it perhaps a university sponsored or even built by ACME? That makes me suspicious about how objective/independent it is. Is it just a front to promote the ACME brand and its products by funding a university to gain future customers among aspiring college students? And/or did Wile perhaps get his teaching position thanks to being one of the best and most loyal customers?
Or is it all transparent and idealistic, with ACME being an organization of inventors that simply supports things related to knowledge?

Also... that was set in a Tiny Toons series? Wasn't that one of those shows emulating Ruglats where the characters were put in diapers? I would have thought it was more serious if they'd given that background to the version of Wile in that experimental action series, which tried to ride the wave of success of animated superhero series, giving them superpowers and creating a sort of superhero group. That was the most serious version of the characters ever made, too bad it only lasted one or two seasons (I think it failed in that it didn't do something like in DuckTales or Darkwing Duck, where they did do some worldbuilding, constructing that duck city/world setting that turned out so well that it led to the comic and movie for grown up: Howard the Duck).

" Wasn't that one of those shows emulating Ruglats where the characters were put in diapers?

That was Baby Loony Toons, completely different show.

Here's a quick reference for the shows I'm talking about:
