Back in the Day by Eric Scott for March 21, 2025

Raises some interesting questions.

Again with the echoes of Samuel Beckett… a swing hanging down from nowhere. Actually, had Beckett written this, the swing would have been withdrawn before Ike could sit down. Guest appearance by Eric Scott? Can’t be God, as my friend Laura Barge pointed out, the Heaven of Samuel Beckett is empty.

Now that you’ve started moving, use the force (of your legs) to go higher, Ike. If you swing high enough, you can see what’s above the panel.

!!! Spoiler alert for anyone that plays Wordle !!!

Nudge happens to be today’s Wordle answer. I’m sure there’s a connection.

I got to _udge and then went through budge, fudge and judge first and ran out of guesses.

The fickle finger of fate.

this comic is very handy…

Now – swing atop the panel and join Kevin!!

Even possum has a higher power.

I want one!!!!!!!!!! :)

He got the finger

Ike looks so happy in the last panel.

Is there a Sammy Kershaw tune in the background labeled ;Without Strings’?

The Swing

Robert Louis Stevenson

1850 –1894

How do you like to go up in a swing,

Up in the air so blue?

Oh, I do think it the pleasantest thing

Ever a child can do!

Up in the air and over the wall,

Till I can see so wide,

River and trees and cattle and all

Over the countryside—

Till I look down on the garden green,

Down on the roof so brown—

Up in the air I go flying again,

Up in the air and down!
