Dr. LeChamp is back! She’s your second favorite French Canadian, and very favorite TV wannabe, right?
Everyone admires her for her flying tackles.
You want to work out, beforehand, who knows what about canoes and racing.
If you ask “you know your way around a canoe race, right?” and the person you’re facing says, “Yes, my brother and I raced frequently in Summer Camp. It was great”, then you have some information.
But you don’t have all the information you need. Perhaps the questions “Did you ever win a race?”, or “How young were you at the time?” or “Why is your life jacket on backward and inside out?” should have been asked, just for clarification.
‘Member in that Avengers movie? Tony Stark says, “I HAVE a Plan of Attack. Attack!”
That’s Big Ron’s plan to win the boat race.
“Paddle ’til you win.”
It’s very sound logic. Or maybe it just very much sounds like it might be logic.
It’s important to practice new skills.
But you gotta pick your time and place with care, just in case someone with a good reach and a long paddle is in striking distance.
Team Viking is back!
Nobody tell Viking Overlord that his ‘oar’ is a paddle. He gets twitchy.
And don’t make eye contact with Jojo. I’m not positive, but wasn’t he lighting his own hackeysacks back in that competition, and now he’s at the fuse end of those cannons?
Gonna be a good race, right?
Grawlix. I’ve told you that word before, haven’t I?
Today we have a guest.
It’s Viking Overlord! He’s wandered in from his own webcomic that you can access by clicking on the image below.
So yeah, when other cartoon characters break a paddle… or oar… who else would they come to? Blondie? Opus? The Buckets? Heck no. They, like you, come here.
Now, go visit Viking Overlord! Tell ’em I says, “Hey!”
Also, oars fit into oarlocks, see, and you row with them, facing backward if you need speed but facing forward if you merely need to steer. Paddles, on the other hand, you paddle with those- meaning you hold both the handle and the middle of the paddle, thus becoming the fulcrum yourself (instead of the oarlock being the fulcrum) and you face the front of the boat all the time, no matter which direction the boat’s facing. Paddle… Oar… it’s important, people. “So ends your daily sermonette.”
I remember taking kayaking lessons at the local university. Everyone was really, really excited to learn to roll the boats. It was what kayaks were known for, after all.
Imagine everyone’s disappointment when the first thing we had to do was… learn to get in the boats without breaking them.
Ah, fiberglass kayaks and concrete pools. Them was the days.
It’s tough, isn’t it? Waiting around for someone else to finish having fun.
Like taking your kids to the Children’s Museum the day before taxes are due or something.
It’s that time of year again! There seem to be competitions needing shirts and posters and… you get the idea.
Here’s one I did with a really outstanding art director-
I’ll be there. You guys ought to come, too! ‘Specially anyone who loves them some SUP and thinks you can go for THIRTY ONE miles! Yeah. Thirty one! Yikes.
