Happy 2023! I am now resuming Selkie updates. Good to be back in the swing, and thank you all for everything as always. Hoping for a good year ahead.
… please be a good year.
Today's edition of the Secret Commentary is empty, because Dave failed to come up with something for it.
Happy New Year!
Welcome back, Dave! Happy new year!
OH THANK GOD
Happy New year, Dave.
Speaking of smooching, were Georgie and Te Fahn still dating?
Being the dominant global species, being able to out throw and out run any animal is super boring.
Out-throw, yes, out-run, depends. It is a common myth that humans are the best endurance runners in the animal kingdom, but there’s a lot of “it depends” factored in there. It all comes down to cooling. Humans are best at cooling our body, so we are best when it gets hot out. There are at least two other endurance runner critters that, in their comfort zone, would have time to recover before a pursuing human hunter could catch up – the ostrich and the pronghorn. This also assumes said human hunter is a good long-distance runner even among other reasonably fit hunter-gatherer humans.
I specify “hunter-gatherer” because let’s face it – compared to those living that lifestyle all their life, most of us today living the “modern” life are comparatively overweight and out of shape and not capable of running down much of anything.
It does not matter to me about other animals (including other humans). I just know I feel alive when *I* do it. Nothing lives between me and my feet. It doesn’t matter if I’m trained or completely out of shape…when I run I feel free. Of course, I don’t expect other people to understand (especially those who find running boring or hate it). I know I’m a bit of a weirdo.
Welcome back Dave! Hope you had a great holiday!
This is a wholesome story. I always look forward to updates. Thank you for making this comic ^_^
(blink blink)
Come to think of it, that WOULD sound awesome to me at age 9.
Maybe from your perspective.
