Strip by: AlduinTheCat

{Cueball stands in front of a board with a picture of a ball distending a line downwards on it. He is pointing to the picture using a pointer stick in his right hand.}
Cueball: Understanding gravity: space-time is like a rubber sheet. Massive objects distort the sheet, and-
Offscreen voice (which is presumably one of Cueball's students): Wait.
{Cueball lowers his pointer (which has switched position to his left hand for some reason) and sighs.}
{Six identical panels of Cueball waiting.}

The author writes:

"While reviewing your reported hours for last week, we noticed that you reportedly taught a lecture that lasted for 27 hours straight. Would you care to explain this?" "No."
