A second wing flapping moment I’m proud of. :)
I wonder what it is about going down river, that there MUST BE A WATERFALL for any story to be exciting.
Dee is a lot more scared than she is in later strips. Perhaps parental separation anxiety was more acute back then. Hrm.
I like how the flapping feather in the last panel came out. It took a few sketches to get that down.
The last two panels of this strip are two of my favorites. The expression, the sentiment, everything. Heck, Ted’s expression in the first panel is lovely too.
My, but Dee is strong in panel #3.
I liked playing with this concept, that to make someone bug off, you participate with them (unwittingly to them) to build their deliverance. :)
She totally looks like a muppet, to me, in the third panel (and I openly admit that the Muppets have been a big influence on me).
This strip came from the idea that something coming back like a swing actually is a complex concept and requires some foresight. Blake was the obvious choice. :)
