Nice sense of kinetics, Mark. I can feel the languid floating in the first panel, and the panicked scrambling against the pull of the current in the third penel and the sudden drop in the last. And all without actual animation. Nicely done. -v
Thanks, Vince! I’m having fun trying to capture that animated energy into the movement. I never intended to take this story so far, but it keeps rolling on in spite of me!
Now I’m imagining Spock singing that I Star Trek 5
Spock sang it a lot less panicky.
SCARY!
A bit of a hairy situation. In every sense of the word, lol!
Even the unlike has its sewage release valves.
It’s all over his head at the moment, Brad!
Beyond the Ice Bucket Challenge, now there is the hamster ball down the drain pipe river scream off challenge.
I’d like to see Oprah try this one!
Great visuals!
Thanks, Gruhn! I’ve been wanting to put more action in my strip. Talking heads get redundant after awhile.
…or gently down the drain. Either way, no good.
It’s a one way trip, either way!
Apparently these running balls don’t work as well in water as they do on land!
No traction, no action!
I can hear the scooby doo run sound effect in that third panel :p
Haw, haw! Now I’m going to imagine that every time I see this strip!
Pipe down…
Put that in your pipe and float it!
Let’s just hope his ball withstands the fall!
His rat half says “yes, yes, yes!,” but his frog half says “no, no, no!”
Oh look, he thinks he’s salmon! [smirk]
He might become a salmon croquette before it’s all over with!
More adventure on the way!
You left off the “mis” part of the adventure!
It’s all down the drain from here.
I know the feeling.

Let’s just hope it’s not also a sewer!
Ummm…. too late.
Life is but a pipe dream.
Heheheheheheee Wipe Out!
All that and a water park too? That is one wonderful dream!
His dream would be to be lying half in shredded newspaper and half in pond water.
Well now… That serene floaty bliss was a washout. Love your animatoonic skillz, Mark!
This is probably my most “animated” non-animated strip so far, Jande. I’m so glad you like it!
Pride Goeth Before The Water Fall
There’s a reason it’s one of the Seven Deadliest Sins!
Ha Ha!!! I ike the “unlife” in the song Mark. Nice touch. Nuthin’ like a bit of sewer surfing
I’m not sure ZB would agree with you, Tony!
