Here’s your second extra cartoon this week! Thanks again to everyone who dropped coin into the tip jar (that’s the ‘You & Hubris’ button in the column down the left hand side of the page). I’ll mail out thank-yous to those who have told me your snail-mail addresses. Everybody else, say “Thanks for the extra cartoons” to the folks who clicked and paypalled and all that stuff.
Today’s cartoon might confuse anyone who’s not familiar with rivers that provide Dam Releases for recreational purposes. The Gauley and The Ocoee are a couple that do this. The first time I went to the Ocoee, I assumed my chain was being yanked when told that the trickle of water in the riverbed would become a full-blown river “when they turned the water on in the morning”. Since then, I’ve sat at the put-in of the river with my kayak, and watched the Surge. It’s very nice.
Love Mr. S-C getting his morning bath….
I assume someone will toss him a line and fish him out soon.
Hehehehehehehe. Going to be such an interesting weekend Mr. S-C will need a vacation to recover from his vacation….
You see Hubris and Kara knuckle bump in the second frame? I missed that first look. What brews… stay tuned?
I thought that you always need a vacation to recover from a really good vacation.
Okay, I get the coonskin cap. But what’s with the Fredonia army colonel’s jacket?
Oh that. It’s what white water ninjas wear.
I just rafted the Ocoee back in March on what was inadvertently opening day. This Florida girl froze her feet off, but it was awesome.
There are times when freezing your feet or other body parts is worth it!
I like the sun slowly rising in the background. Nice touch.
It really is a beautifully-drawn strip.
OK OK OK I DONATED!
Greg, please, stop breaking into my house in the middle of the night, stroking my cheek and whispering “donate Allan, donate” … it’s creepy. 😛
I did too. ‘cept I know Greg didn’t sneak in here and whisper in my ear; because he’d been found in a heap by the first one of us that woke up in that room. It’s early construction zone right now… 🙂
Well, that’s a dam shame.
And now, we know how the river kills people. Through “surprise”.
