Time is Relative
I’m fascinated by quantum mechanics, multiple world theories and the nature of perceived time. None of that inspired today’s comic, but in coming up with a title for it I remembered my interest and now I’m digging up old books again. Time to dust off my copy of A Brief History of Time!

Love it. That lion will learn not to take himself too seriously.
April 9th, 2008 at 5:40 pm
XD!
Time is Relative as Patience is a Virtue~ The side glance is precious! XD

Argh! It’s so frustrating! Haha, but his insistence is still hilarious, and that it forces us to be in more suspense adds to the humor. Nice.

Agree with the sidelong glance in the last panel. I don’t know what the tolerance is of the Lion?MoonBear – but I – for one – would not be too tempted to find out
Another killer panel Karl – one more added to my “Maybe buy” list. Is there any discount on quantity he said -( with a slight whimper in his voice .) (:>((

Adorable. :)) in a way which made me recall Bunuel’s Milky Way, the blind men curing scene
April 9th, 2008 at 6:08 pm
Subjective Time Differential – the split second you face while time crawls for everyone else.
On another note, got my panel and could not be happier. It’s already framed and in my office. Thank you.

Love the little fox what cannot be flapped.
April 9th, 2008 at 7:38 pm
Hehe. The fox is a great companion for TACC. They’re both essentially 7 year-olds.
April 9th, 2008 at 8:18 pm
brilliant, my 6 year old peppers me that way, I love it, and that’s one handsome lion to boot
April 9th, 2008 at 9:00 pm
I still cannot get over yhe youthful exuberance of the fox!!!

Bravado’s mouth is perfectly hilarious in that last panel, sir. Is his name Bravado? Does he have a name? Do any of the animals have names besides the big ol’ bear whose name escapes me at the present?
April 9th, 2008 at 11:02 pm
Hehehe! Bravado is just too much :3
Such a blithely curious and adorable little fox

The Fox makes me so happy.
April 10th, 2008 at 2:11 am
The fox is fabulous. Beautiful combination of Charles who can’t speak (as far as we know) and Fox who keeps asking the darnest questions
April 10th, 2008 at 10:16 am
I love the incredibly subtle change in Charlie’s expression in the last panel. Reminds me of looks I received after my own childhood comments.
April 10th, 2008 at 1:20 pm
The Elegant Universe is better. love the fox.
April 10th, 2008 at 1:42 pm
That li’l pup is *adorable.* :)
April 10th, 2008 at 5:33 pm
oh em gee, the fox’s face is so adorable in that last panel. perfect!
April 10th, 2008 at 7:13 pm
Agree with mary the Elegant Universe By Brian Greene or A Brief History of Nearly Everything by Bill Bryson which has many fabulous topics and easy explinations. PS I am in love with your comics.
April 10th, 2008 at 11:32 pm
I’ll go with the family and say that I just love that Fox. The face in the last panel is adorable!
April 10th, 2008 at 11:43 pm
chortle. No pomposity can survive such a frontal assault. Love the overlapping text bubbles.
April 11th, 2008 at 12:02 am
I’d suggest The Dancing Wu Li Masters by Gary Wu, that book is a big reason why I decided to study physics. But yeah, that little dude is hilarious.
April 11th, 2008 at 5:17 am
I just ruv that Snow Fox!
April 11th, 2008 at 9:30 am
I’ve never read The Elegant Universe, but I watched the documentary a few years ago and it felt really rushed. And I’m listening to Bill Bryson’s book now as an audiobook, which he reads himself. ‘The Dancing Wu Li Masters’ is next on the list! Thanks for the suggestions, everybody!

SLAP the impertinant little… dweeb… !!! That lion could choke him down without half a hiccough, but I suspect the chutzpah of the tiny fuzzy lump (FLUMP, in this house) has derailed his train of thought- Charles seems about to correct the twit’s manners… stuff the pacifier into his mouth… ?
April 13th, 2008 at 8:34 pm
I nominate “Chutzpah” for another name choice for the fox. Though I do like Bravado.
April 13th, 2008 at 8:37 pm
Love the webcomic Karl! It’s a real inspiration to see such great artwork.
I don’t mean to spam but if you’re interested in physics you may be interested in a webcomic from a theoretical physics student: http://www.tevong.co.uk/adlib.php?adlib=37

I love your comic- the art is beautiful and I espicially love the dog in this strip-he’s so funny!
April 14th, 2008 at 1:23 pm
Hey, it looks like you’ve been nominated for an Eisner Award ! Congrats !
April 14th, 2008 at 2:43 pm
LOL
April 14th, 2008 at 2:45 pm
yeah the overlapping text bubbles are genius
April 14th, 2008 at 3:25 pm

April 14th, 2008 at 6:48 pm
Congratulations on the Eisner Nomination!
The Abominable Charles Christopher is easily the best web comic I have ever read.
Thanks for creating such a great comic.
I hope you win!

Congratulations on the Eisner Nomination!
April 16th, 2008 at 12:58 pm
Congrats, Karl! I wish I could vote.

I can imagine the voice of the lion reverberating majestically…
…and then it losing the reverb when he answers the yappy little guy. XD

Ahaha, Charles’ expression in that last panel is priceless.
“Dude, shut up… dude!”
