– I’ll be in Salem OR for teh Northwest Comics Fest this weekend.I’m not sure where my booth is, but I’m pretty sure I’ll be on the first floor. Please come say hi!
– Here’s your moment of Zen.
Support Modest Medusa! Help Jake make comics!
Oh geez! Why would either of them think that would work? XD
Well, thankfully nobody has ever gotten hurt by falling in this comic! And they’re on the first floor, yeah? Well, hopefully Ekan’s mother is an understanding woman.
Because they’re young and don’t quite have the grasp on physics that studying and experience age gives you?
Pillow cases are too small to be used for parachutes even for those of average human infant weight, you need at least a king sized sheet for it to have any chance for it to work.
Oh boy. She’s crazier than Modest.
That was actually pretty brave. Any thought of jumping out the window that didn’t start on the window sill itself and I would chicken out afraid that I’d hit my head on the window frame on my way out.
Brave, but foolish.
I did almost the exact thing wen i was small. Just change pillow casing to an umbrella and second floor for tree.
I tied two pieces of sheet metal to my go-kart and drove off a cliff (well…4ft drop…but still). Got bruised up… … …could have ended worse.
Ah! The strategic bush! Every house should have some! Of course, ours are barberry bushes. Ouch!
It’s good to see no-one lost their heads when modest got a haircut (rimshot) in the newscaster alt.
Something tells me these two are going to be really bad for each other! Going to be a lot of whooping in these girls’ future.
I was really shocked until I remembered that they live in a one-story house.
In the UK, the first floor is above the ground floor. So to me, it seemed like she was jumping from one storey up.
Wow! I think Modest just managed to get “has poison snakes on her head” downgraded to only the secondary reason she is considered one of those “bad influence” friends.
In less than 10 minutes… That’s some impressive work there!
But…the parachutes were Meg’s idea. >_>
Hehe, “pair of chutes.” So cute!
Anything is possible when you’re six.
SHORT SNAKE HAIR.
that is all.
Lucky kid! When my father was little, he broke his collar bone by jumping off the top bunk in an attempt to fly like Superman.
I hope Ekan’s not hurt and that Modest and her can stay friends!
Not quite a parachute escapade, but apparently as a poorly-supervised seven-ish year old, I decided to confront my fear of heights head-on by gathering every pillow and couch cushion in the house into a big pile in the living room…then jumping off the second floor balcony onto the pile. In retrospect, really quite lucky I only tweaked my ankle…especially given there remained an absence of adults long enough to limpingly put all the pillows/cushions back.
…so probably, all of ten minutes.
Stupidity can be lightning quick and efficient!
Wow. We used to have this R2D2 toy box when we were kids. It was basically cylinder about 2 feet wide painted like R2DT with a detachable plastic lid head that was a half hemisphere. The head was big enough to sit in, so we’d often ride it down the stairs like a slide. Which was insane.
Is Ekans’ mom supposed to look like Garnet, or is that just a happy accident?
Accident.
That moment of zen almost just made me cry.
