Durnell may have disavowed his excuse for a harrowing race course, but his excuse as it stands sounds like a good one to me.
When I shaped up this cartoon, I thought maybe finding a REASON to have a burning hoop at the end of a ramp would be a hard thing to justify in a race.
But no. Competition calls for crazy stuff, and the reason flowed onto the page seamlessly. Makes Durnells almost-instant retraction seem kinda mean-spirited, but I was rapidly running out of panels to use to soften it up.
