"Quantum Zen". The concept amuses me to no end.

I'm glad Ozy has achieved quantum zen. His zen has certainly taken a quantum leap. 8)

So, Heisenberg applies to zen... freaky.

WAIT WAIT WAIT. Did DCS just juxtapose Zen with the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle? By Jove, I didn't think this strip could get any weirder.

Llewellyn is way wrong about this being any great achievement though; anyone's performance would be affected by knowing they're being measured. Being able to be unaffected would be a true measure of serenity. Not just in meditation; in anything, really.

What if they're being measured but don't know it? Heisenberg says they'd still be affected.

...holy crap this strip just became 1000 times deeper.

It's not too often something makes me laugh out loud, but this strip did it. Good job!

When I got to the middle panel, I was thinking more along the lines of the Hawthorne Effect, but the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle made for a great punchline.

And there are probably few other comics where what I just said would come up in a conversation about it.

Thus the 4.7 :-P

I'm used to a 1 through 10 scale though :-P

Llewellyn looks... something... in the third panel. And I'm not sure about serener. Isn't it more serene?

Plus Ozy's expression in panel 4 is quite awesome!

Dang, I figured I'd manage to mess it up eventually. Fixed now.

This was almost too high-brow for me to get.

A lesser cartoonist would have ended the strip at either the second panel or the left half of the third.
