Not trying to be a nitpicker, but... He could send her to geostationary orbit with a spiral motion, which would be a vertical line relative to the surface of the take-off site. All he had to do is... changing earth's rotation characteristic, so that suddenly the take-off site was on the equator.

Well, you see... for Loup, space travel is more liney-wimey jumble of forcie-porcies... It's not on the same level as our limited space travel...

It is only impossible if you ignore the existence of other bodies. But Loup could, for example, launch her directly up into one of the Earth-Moon Lagrangian points.

I suspect it's completely unimportant but based on a wag at acceleration, going by syllables in panel #4 of that page where Jones took flight, "placing her in the sky" may mean "Loup" doubled the effect of the earth's gravity on Jones and channeled it through an arbitrary point in LEO. It is a natural force, after all. |

Oh! I just noticed Loup's white head marking is the same shape that Annie is holding in the treatise.

I like how even after Tom makes an entire page trolling all the people saying "well it's just not POSSIBLE," yall come back in here still debating how it could be done. Sis, it doesn't matter.

Pedantic physics debates about works of complete fantasy are an end in themselves. THEY CANNOT BE STOPPED. EVER.

I always have the feeling these Tea-times happen in alternate universes where nothing ever goes wrong, or atleast at the calmer moments we just don't get to see, where there are no conflicts to resolve... The comic has been very intense and plot heavy recently, it's nice to have a break where we can laugh a bit with the characters too sometimes! ... AAAnd just like that, Loup shows up in full crazy-face mode to dash our fragile peace.  |

Why was this even a question? Loup has the power to destroy things at a distance with the swipe of a paw, shoot the extremely dense Jones into space with a mere thought, and outright STOP TIME in the forest. He can do whatever the heck he wants by simply thinking it and people think that he has to follow the laws of Newtonian Physics??

I mean, if he can lift Jones into orbit, there's no reason he can't also give her orbital velocity while she's up there.

Also, does this mean he put Jones in a geostationary orbit? It means magic. |
