Comic "Non Sequitur" on science

Young Danae has been sitting under a tree doing "research." Her little brother approaches and asks, "Whatcha doin', Danae?"

"Scientific research."

"Really? On what?"

"Where the sun sets."

"Um, why?"

"'Cuz there's big bucks in researching stuff we already know. . . the trick is milking it as long as you can."

"Oh. . . who's funding it?" asks the brother.

Panel three shows Danae pondering, and in panel four she says, "I was counting on a bidding war."

Brother sums it up: "First principle of science, Danae. . . get the funding secured before you conduct the research."

Once again, "Non Sequitur" skewers science.
