MARK: So how is this Schroedinger’s Cat thing going to get us out of this mess?
ALEX: Glad you asked. Schroedinger’s Cat is both alive and dead until the box is opened, and the act of observing it influences the outcome of events.
ALEX: Similarly, we need to have a third party observe our comic, so that the act of observation can resolve any anomalous conditions and allow us to move the story ahead, contradiction-free.
(Silence.)
MARK: So basically, you want our readers to keep reading the strip to see how it turns out.
ALEX: Yes, but not for me. For science.
