  HAH! Nice to not have to look up wikipedia for any archaic references this time.
  unless i'm missing something...AGAIN. On a different topic, can you imagine the leg strength required to hold the horse through that leap? ;)

  Silly, yet totally awesome. Why is it that so many totally awesome things are also incredibly silly? This comic taps into such primal mysteries at the heart of the universe.

  ...and/or centripetal force and/or superglue. Good fun.

  Dan, the horse's momentum is forward, and the lance doesn't put any force on it, only on the rider. It has to be superglue.
  
  Although, if you've seen "Mulan" you know that it's possible to carry a horse up the side of a mountain while gripping it with you're thighs, so you never know.

  Photoshop. This is totally photoshopped. No way he really pole vaulted over that. See, you can tell from the lighting.

  Very simple, yet hilarious comic. I love it.
  Especially the horse's expression at the end.

  I wish the last panel had a shot of the serene sky with a bitty silhouette of the rider and horse separated in it and flying through the air.

  Not superglue - you'd want to use an epoxy resin for that kind of lift.

  Am I missing something? I always read this comic, take the joke at face value, then read the comments and realise I've missed some subtle pop-culture reference. Is this really just a jouster on a horse doing pole-vaulting?

  @Steve: "Kind of a light-weight comic this week. Thought folks could use a break from last week’s reference laden fare."

  I like how the horse's hoof goes out of the panel.

  I've actually seen live motorcycle pole-vaulting on tv once, it was somewhat similar in scope to this.
