The Exploitation of Physics

Andrew and Anni Seed the cartoon deer fawn stand at the edge of a gorge  Andrew: Great  I knew we should've turned left  Anni: It's getting late  We'll just have to cross it  Andrew: Are you crazy  There's no way we can make it  Anni puts her arm around him and starts walking: You're not being creative enough  Now just relax, and whatever you do don't look down  Andrew realizes they're walking on thin air, and falls screaming Amateur

...Cartoon physics, that is.  Rule #1: You can walk across thin air as long as you don't see yourself doing it. 

Anni Seed is a cartoon deer I created after binge-watching vintage Disney cartoons.  In-universe, she's a 1920's cartoon character that through a series of bizarre circumstances was brought to life and now hangs out with her animator's descendant.  And as you've probably noticed, she has no problem with exploiting the Rules of Funny for all they're worth. 

(And don't worry about her friend - according to the Rules of Funny, it wouldn't be funny if he got hurt.)
