The funny thing with a strip like this, is I find myself falling on both sides. I fall into the adult “fuddy duddy” side of enjoying the peaceful side of nature, and I fall into the forever young and silly side of playfullness.

I find that for most people, complaining is like a sport. The topic doesn’t matter, it’s the complaining that matters. Which is why it’s such a problem when things resolve themselves.

As the story goes, the scorpion said “No, frog, of course I won’t sting you if you carry me across the pond. If I did, then we would BOTH drown.” Upon stinging (of course), as they both sink, the frog asks why. “Because,” said the scorpion, “it is in my nature.”
Bethanne is the one who told me the “motorboat motorboat” song that goes with swimming, I never heard it growing up. But it was so cute that i had to write this strip.
Ted’s temper is shown a little bit here, although it later rather mellowed out.
I was particularly proud of Blake’s line in this one. Not only to show his earnest/clueless nature, but also because it gave us a visual to imagine — that of Dee sitting at the bottom of the lake not swimming at all.
In real life this would not be funny at all. Just so’s you know.
Right understanding (through explanation) that his idea won’t work, wrong in understanding that the same reasoning applies to similar ideas.
Pebbles are still a good idea.
