I liked it. Maybe a bit more dialogue in the final frame.

A bit different.
I think you need a degree in engineering to get it
Congratualtions, you passed the test. 
It's basically about the dad getting lumbered - the daughter probably knows anyway - and he's telling her a load of rubbish to avoid telling her outright.

Sounds like a cock and bull story.
I thought the last frame was the funniest with him rambling about gravity...that really suited the dad's character. I wasn't sure about the pink heart thingy as it looked out of place. I would have liked the daughter to say something at the end too in response to him, like "that's so gross".
It has potential. I like it.
I've loved some of your other cartoons, I immediately got the reference to the gravity equation being a science nerd, but sorry this one doesn't work for me, the two ideas just don't seem to connect. Sorry.
Cool. Ok I think I'm going to take this back to school and give it another go. Thanks all for looking and giving me food for thought 
Your awesome.
Visually pleasing, Gav, but your choice of jokes/subject matter seem a little hackneyed. I'd like to see you do your animating justice with something more original and specific to the characters you've developed. Just being honest, like.
2 more points:
The daughter looks shocked/scared in the final frame. Shouldn't she be more confused than anything else?
You need to sort out your commas and full stops.
Best wishes

In that case I don't think it works as a strip, and I don't think it really can unless we have a much bigger build up (a la sitcom) that shows us the relationship of the dad and daughter in more depth.
The alternative of misunderstanding can work well as a strip IMO.
Any of you guys read cartoon strips in the papers? This is better by a Q leap.
True. But most are limited to 3 panels, as well as the reader's intellect.

Marc, if I'd read this strip every day then I would know the characters and it could be great. As a one off it doesn't work as it is, that's all.

Well it doesn't work for you is actually all Mister Badge. The strip here addresses a universal situation/truth and yet beautifully incorporates a newtonian law of physics that you don't actually have to know to get the joke! It is really quite Reithean so the BBC wouldn't buy it nowadays tis true.
