Which men survived the highest accidental free falls?

Panel 1: Under the question, “Which men survived the highest accidental free falls?” is a small drawing of a German fighter plane firing at a two-engine Russian bomber. The bomber is in flames against a dark background. Underneath the text reads, “Two World War II airmen fell 20,000 feet or more and lived (no parachute deployed). The first was a Russian Lieutenant, I.M. Chisov. Panel 2: At the top left of the panel the text reads, “In early 1942, Chisov jumped from his disabled aircraft and fell 22,000 feet, hitting the edge of a snow-covered slope and rolling to the bottom.” The illustration shows an airman bouncing down a steep, snowy hillside. Panel 3: In the drawing, the airman continues to bounce down the hillside. He finally comes to rest, seated in a daze. To his right the text reads, “Chisov had a parachute, but could not open it because the ripcord had been hit by gunfire.” Panel 4: In the upper left corner of this panel we see a drawing of an airman falling toward the ground. The text reads, “S/Sgt. Alan Magee, a gunner on a U.S. B-17, fell 20,000 feet without a parachute after his bomber blew up. He landed on top of a train station and, though badly hurt, he survived.” This cartoon is part of a series called Falling. It is written and drawn by Jim Hamilton who can be found on Instagram at Green Harbor Publications (all one word, greenharborpublications).

This cartoon uses a precise transcription of Nicholas Alkemade’s appearance on the BBC One program “I’ve got a Secret,” which originally aired on December 5, 1984. The comic’s title appears at the top: “When Nicholas Alkemade was on “I’ve Got a Secret. “ The words “I’ve Got a Secret” appear in a cursive font. All of the other text appears in all caps in a sans serif font. The entire comic is in black and white with a few shades of gray. At the top left-hand side of the page is a man in a dark suit and a striped tie with a hankerchief in his suit pocket. He sits with his hands folded in front of him and a blank expression on his face. He is slightly balding, has a moustache, and is wearing glasses. His name appears underneath him: Nicholas Alkemade. Sitting next to him at the same table is the host of the show, Tom O’Connor. He wears a light-colored suit with an even lighter tie. He has long, helmet-y, light-colored hair. He has his right hand in the air with his forefinger pointing up. He says the following: And for the panel the clue is: “A happening with no strings attached.” Below him sits the show’s panel at a different table. On the left is Chris Kelly, a strong-chinned, handsome man in a suit and tie. To his left is an attractive, long-haired woman wearing a v-nick top. She has on earrings and a necklace. Her name is Anneka Rice. To her left is a curly-haired man in a suit and tie. He is wearing glasses. His name is Barry Cryer. To Barry’s left is a woman wearing a multi-colored outfit. Her hair is pulled up in a knot on her head and ringlets of hair fall on either side of her face. Her name is Bettine LeBeau. All of the contestants have pencils and paper. They wait in anticipation for the questioning to begin.

Panel 1: This comic is all in one panel. At the top left is the question, “Does a ball thrown straight up take the same time to go up as it does to come down?” Directly below the question is the response, ‘Well, it depends.” The text continues, “In a vacuum, the time going up and the time going down would be equal.” Directly below this text we see two boys having a conversation. One says, “But we do not live in a vacuum.” The other boy responds, “Good point!” Below the boys the text continues, “In the real world, it takes longer to come down. Why? Air resistance.” In the center of the panel we see a left-handed batter who has just swung at a pitch and popped the ball straight up. He is wearing a white uniform with the number seven on the back. Right beside him standing behind home plate, the catcher follows the flight of the ball. He is wearing a gray uniform and a chest protector. His hat is on backwards. He has already discarded his mask. Along the left side of the panel is the following text, “On the way up, air resistance and gravity work together to slow the ball’s upward motion. On the return trip to earth, air resistance counters the impact of gravity, which means that the ball accelerates at a slower pace, and so it takes slightly longer to come town.” This cartoon is part of a series called Falling. It is written and drawn by Jim Hamilton who can be found on Instagram at Green Harbor Publications (all one word, greenharborpublications).
