Kara just won’t let competitive things drop.
I think that might actually have been my description of her when I was still pitching this as a newspaper comic strip to the syndicates.

Docta Pain knows how to motivate roller derby girls… and doctors.
This is the classic thing to do with a foreign enemy.
You demonize him up really, really good. That way, YOUR team knows that YOU’RE the GOOD GUYS, and those other guys don’t love their children and defame celebrities that you admire, and also they don’t wash properly and eat food that isn’t good at all, when they eat, which isn’t often, and they have bad teeth, too, partly because of the food but partly because of lousy genetics which people from HERE don’t get because YOUR people floss like respectable, civilized people. Well, not every day like you’re supposed to, but sometimes floss. More than bad foreigners who slap the queen with disguised fish do, anyhow.
Erich’s back in true form. He’s tough, y’know. Got that European attitude locked in.
Property is just worth more when it’s been developed. That’s what the developers say. So, while the moon is worth a whole bunch the way it is, it’d be worth many, many fortunes if we could just build a hotel and some food joints on it. Y’know, like one of those beautiful Interstate Exits that improve the land between here and… everywhere.
You guys remember the duct tape and tarp base-jumping competition, right? I mean, it nearly went down only yesterday.
There are ‘just’ ideas, and there are ‘good’ ideas.
Mudpit in the long run-out of the Li’l Red Wagon race.
Good idea.
Those auto-brake harness things… those are pretty nice. Keeps you from worrying if the person belaying you at floor level is paying attention or not.
Never seen them at an actual climbing gym, just at theme parks. I guess that’s not a good sign, right?
PS. I had to go back and fix Friday’s cartoon because, as some of you pointed out, he apparently took off his harness. Well, he DIDN’T, but I was out of my mind or something and didn’t draw the dang thing.
Also PS. If you go back to THURSDAY’s cartoon, the other two versions of Troy’s Dash cartoon are there in the blog section, and you can adjudge if I was right to think of the wordless one as the primary cartoon.
I believe that stick-to-it-ive-ness was important to ol’ Billy Bob, here. Rather than try to salvage his score by backing down the ladder and trying the challenge front-way-’round, he persevered.
And in the same way that your average fourteen year old will try to bring in all the groceries in one trip from the car and wind up breaking the eggs, the pickle jar, and leaving most of a gallon of milk spreading on the front stoop, Billy Bob is gonna leave some things broken that were better left intact, and better left for a second run.
So let’s see who gets this one… because there are others. What I mean is that there are two other versions of this very cartoon that have word balloons.
How subtle do you like your cartooning? Can you do this one without any extra clutter? Would you rather have the efficiency of a word balloon?
Comment, and then I think I’ll show the other two versions.
