I find occasional good physical gags are delightful, but only sparingly. The three stooges are brilliant, but were always a bit much for me.

Some recipes, some transactions, and yes, some activities: sometimes the order DOES matter.

In panel two, it is on purpose that Ted isn’t even looking at Blake. Blake’s guilt is mostly internal.
Not that Ted is pleased to see the alligator.

Since this is the beginning of a “thriller” kind-of week, it was fun doing the panel#2 visual nod to Carey Grant in Hitchock’s North by Northwest.
One of the details which still strikes me about this strip is the little heart breaking above Dee’s head. Ted never yells at her any more. She’s so sad!
I also like how this is a total induction for Ted into road trip parenting.
This reminds me of The Cowboy Wally Show, “oh yeah, lock the gate!”
And seriously, aside from this being a joke, I do find it easy to get caught up in things when it’s just as easy to move on. As I often say, life just isn’t that hard.
Well, unless it is.

I had put some thought into where he may have parked the plane after their original flight, but fortunately I stopped thinking and left it exactly where he had landed it.
I think as the strip went on that perhaps Dee lost a little bit of this surreal strong physical-gag punchline material. For better? For worse? Who knows. I have as much love for later strips. But a gag like this is lovely and wicked and all sorts of wrong.
This whole strip was about me wanting to draw the middle panel, although I like the punchline too.
I also tried to work in (through the middle panel) that they live in the woods in a somewhat rural area with towns around.
