I carry an umbrella like hers. My city would be a desert too. So this theory obviously doesn't work, seeing as how my city is the heart of the Land of 10,000 Lakes.
TEXT OF COMIC:
I think I've figured out how desertification works.
Desertification?
The process by which places become deserts.
Okay. So how do you think places become deserts?
Well, it's common knowledge that it only rains when you don't have an umbrella with you. Logically, therefore, if a town has one resident who ALWAYS carries an umbrella, that town will inevitably become a desert.
So the way to stop desertification is for each town to find that one resident and convince him to stop carrying an umbrella all the time. The first day he goes out without it, rain is virtually guaranteed.
But by that logic, THIS city would be a desert. I know for a fact that a mini foldable umbrella is among the fifty different rarely-useful gadgets you carry in your giant purse at all times.
Yes, and it ONLY rains on days when I forget my purse.
