I liked the idea of Vachel translating what Dee said, but didn’t find that it worked smoothly enough to be a regular gag. But the couple times I used it, I enjoyed it.

I think this was one of the most effective uses of Dee’s silent communication for the humor of the strip that I’ve ever done.
I think her expression in panel two hits it so dead on, as does her blissful glugging in the last panel.
This originally was going to be bear#2 with the punchline, before Vachel was replaced and Ted became the solo bear.
I also just love how kids can get so caught up in the moment like that. I mean, try tickling an adult and you can often reach the same place, but perhaps with them being less amused. :)
I LOVED stick racing as a kid. Because it all involves watching and shouted commentary, and there’s no action aside from saying “ready set go” and dropping the sticks. How fun is that?!
I was really proud of the art in this one. The different perspectives as well as the stone-work in panel 2.
I think my favorite part of this strip is Vachel’s slow sink into the vase. He doesn’t climb in, or jump in, he just kinda sits in it and sinks down.
I don’t know why that has always amused me so much.
