Duck Dodgers: And now then, eager young space cadet, here is the course we shall pursue to find Planet X.
(illustrating every detail on a clear plastic star chart of space) Starting from where we are, we go 33,600 turbo miles due up. Then west in an astro-arc deviation to here, then following the great circle seven radiolubes south by downeast. By astro-astroble to here, here, and here, then by space navigo-compass to here, here, and then to here and here. By thirteen point strato-cumulus bearing four million light-years, and thus to our destination
* Note that their destination is about half an inch from the 33,600 turbo-miles in the first step on the chart
. Now do you know how to reach Planet X?
Eager Young Space Cadet: Y-y-ye—oh sure.
Duck Dodgers:
(gawking at first the Cadet, then at the chart's ridiculously complex path) Well, I wish you'd explain it to me some time, buster!
Eager Young Space Cadet: Oh, it's v-very simple...
(cuts to a look outside the ship, with various planets lettered "A", "B", "C", etc.) If we follow th-those planets, we can't miss Planet X!
Duck Dodgers:
(laughing) That's ridiculous!
(more laughing) Wait...I've got it! I'll bet that if we just follow those planets, we'll find Planet X!
Gads...how do I do it?
Eager Young Space Cadet:
I d-d-d-don't know.
