What's the joke here? Do you have any feelings about it?

 There are a few other interpretations, including the one I suspect was actually intended by the cartoonist.

My reaction was along the lines of "wow, simplicity is best," or something vaguely resembling Occam's razor. Similar to Justin, I was amused at how something so simple could solve a problem so profound. For the split-second between seeing a flying penguin and reading what he was saying, I expected some physics mumbo-jumbo, which would also have made me laugh.

I didn't initially make the connection to our class, but I like Justin's characterizations. But wouldn't that imply that Eben is doing something impossible? In my mind, the next frame of the cartoon is the flying penguin belly-flopping into the sea with his comrades laughing in delight - perhaps my physics background is just over-analyzing a simple cartoon.
