I own a few weird helmets. I should post those on non-Comic strip days. Maybe this weekend. Make sure to check back, you hear?
And you can shop a high-end helmet. Click on it. You know you want a high-end helmet…

One of the better Deadpool costumes
Marcus Hamilton, daily creator of Dennis The Menace
Minecraft costume. My kids know the character's name, I think.
There you go! I told you Charlotte Heroes Con was interesting. And I usually forgot to get pictures of the crazy stuff, so just imagine all the mind-blowing stuff I did without a camera. Now, make it MORE mind blowing. That’s how fun it was. Really. Take my word for it. Yow.

My son is fairly new to kayaking. He’s paddled on a lake and a river, all in a couple of whitewater boats. Two of the boats are mine, and one is a friend’s kid-sized boat. Rather than continue to beg boats from friends, and continue to let him wear my sprayskirt or my wife’s, neither of which fit him and made me worry that he wouldn’t be able to get them off the boat when it flipped over, we recently went to the local Outdoors, Inc store and got a sprayskirt with a tunnel that fit him and a bungee rand for easy on-and-off the boat. So, here’s my son’s first product review for
LEVEL 6 EASY-PEASY SPRAY SKIRT
Let me start off by saying I love kayakaing and to enjoy it right you have to have appropriate materials: boat, paddle, sprayskirt, helmet and life vest. In order to have fun you have to have the stuff in good condition and it fits.
I’m here to say the new spray skirt I got is perfect! It keeps out water, it comes off easy, it’s adjustable. Compared to my mother’s rubber-randed small-tunnel, kinda leaky spray skirt, it’s pretty good.
This one is made by a company I like “Level 6″. It’s pretty secure on water, comfortable, adjustable, two easy ways to get it off, and a bungee band which is much easier than rubber and can come off and go on easy wet or not.
Yet this beautiful thing has its downsides, too. When trying to put it on the boat, the back sometimes slips off. It did not let out heat. The boat was like an oven on the water. All in all, I give this a 9 out of 10 rating.
Like the sound of it? Shop an Easy Peasy for you or your kids. Click on the skirt:
That’s awesome. I wonder if they are made with the brims in back too.
i want the hat helmet! i’ll look like i’m all kinds of dangerous without breaking my skull when i fall lol
I’ve got a kayak helmet that started life as a baseball batting helmet. It’s got what’s left of the bill in the back. That always confuses people to whom I loan it out.
I’d like a helmet that looks like a baseball cap. Wait, I’m gonna go to the Rogers Centre and steal a BlueJays batting helmet.
Go for it! You gotta grind down the edges and reshape it a little, and then you have to pop-rivet the straps in place, but it works out pretty good. Oh, and you may want to replace the open-cell foam padding with closed-cell foam.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY CANADA. EH!
Ah! That’s right! I was supposed to get a comic ready for that.
I’ll shoot for something later today.
Tomorrow’s my birthday, so… Canada and Me, eh?
Cubs have a long way to go… living a few blocks from them is not as glamorous as you might imagine. *_*
