Deductive-Arguments

This is just a short assignment designed to assess whether you're understanding the concept of deductive validity correctly. There are two questions to answer. In the first, you are asked to make a judgment about whether a stated argument is deductively valid. In the second, you are asked to construct a deductively valid argument. The second task is probably more difficult, but sit with it for awhile. I have faith that you can get it--or at least get close to it.
The first question concerns the following cartoon:
In the text-box provided below, please answer the following:
1) Is the penguin making a deductively valid argument? Why or why not? Try to be specific and explain using examples. If his thinking is not valid, then try to identify where the penguin is going wrong.
For the next question, consider this meme:
2) The creator of this meme is not making an explicit argument. There are no clearly written premises or a conclusion that could in principle be true or false. However an argument is being implied, and you must formulate this argument your head in order to understand and appreciate the meme. (Just as, in order to appreciate Jim's response to Dwight, you must take "False. Black bear." to mean something like "It is not true that the question at hand is a ridiculous question, because it has an answer. And questions that have answers are not ridiculous. And, moreover, the answer to the question is 'black bear.'") What I want you to do now is create a deductively valid argument with two premises and one conclusion that captures the logic of this Kirby meme. You should use either the modus ponens or modus tollens argument forms. (Modus tollens probably looks best.) To construct the argument, it may be easiest to work backward from the conclusion. That is, first ask yourself: What is the claim that the meme-maker is ultimately trying to get us to accept?
