Comic books and comic strips have provided lots of fodder for physics
teachers over the years. Calvin and Hobbes has lots of
physics-related stuff, some of it quite droll. So does Foxtrot. I am
particularly partial to the Roadrunner cartoons. Wile E. Coyote has
so many non-physical things happen to him that you can confront
almost every student misconception in any one episode. And all the
super-heroes do so many things that lend themselves to interesting
calculations, that I'm not surprised that someone has finally decided
to build a whole course around comics.
