Mal better hope he doesn’t get that thing off the ground. He’ll lose a toe or four a second or two later.
Honestly, I have no good reason to have drawn him shoeless. I just felt it made the whole sport look just that much more nerve-wracking.
Perspective illustration. Very tricky.
Cannonbaaaaaaaaaaaall!
One year when I was helping out with scouts and my kid went to camp with a big lake, I encouraged him to climb out on that big air-filled thing (at this particular camp, it’s called “the Iceberg”) so that one of the other kids could jump off a platform, landing on the opposite side of the Iceberg than my kid, thus launching him out over the lake.
I encouraged him to do that because I really wanted to do that.
Anyhow, being scouts, the group put the littlest kid out on the Iceberg, and had the biggest TWO kids land on the other side, thus sending the smaller kid into some kind of suborbital trajectory that, if he hadn’t been a strong swimmer, he wouldn’t be back from yet.
It was great.
You remember elementary school, and the “seesaws” or “teeter totter” or whatever they called such things in your area, right?
Ohhhh, those were dangerous toys, those were. cracked heads, cracked chins, cracked coccyxes…
You don’t get those much any more in playgrounds.
Pretty soon, playgrounds are just going to be padded platforms surrounded by rubber mats that say “No Running” over and over again, and in the middle of the platforms, there’ll be outlets to recharge your phone… I mean electronic tricorder multifunctional toy/tool.
We’re trying to get back on track here at Hubris!
I’ve stayed focused and awake long enough to finish a cartoon I mostly wrote before the surgery.
There’s improvement for ya.
Every time lately that I hear “fire”, I think of the scene in the Thor:Ragnarok movie. The Hulk was a very entertaining conversationalist.
