Pinkfish and cartoon science

There's been a lot of speculation about the kind of dye that Jones was covered in. Well, let me put your minds at rest. It's a special pink cartoon dye that only comes off in contact with pond water. Cartoon chemistry is like cartoon physics - it doesn't work in quite the same way as it does in the real world. We've already discussed the way that gravity only acts on a coyote two eye-blinks after becoming aware of walking off the edge of a cliff. Another example is that if a dog and a man in a green shirt encounter a ghost in a creepy room, that room will immediately elongate so that the dog and man and flee the ghost for thirty seconds without ever leaving the room. A side effect of this is that a series of identical light fittings will appear at regular intervals along said room.
