Dark Side of the Horse by Samson for February 13, 2021

. . . and that’s why dialog should be in dialog balloons.

Words have consequences.

Sine should know what a high voice Horace has by now.

Sometimes words just get in the way.

I dunno about you, horsie. But I’d not like a bird over my head.

Sine, as you just experienced… Horace is going whacko…!

I guess it was better to have tripped over the well than to have fallen into it. You do have to watch out not to trip over those past participles.

When words can trip someone up.

Interruption of thought is annoying ….now I lost my tweet of thought!

It’s not what you said, but how you said it.

YES!

I think conventional “word balloons” act as airbags in strips with low-flying characters. :)

‘Low and outside … where are you going?’

That phrase would have eliminated the possibility that Horace thought the bird was addressing something at a higher altitude.

“*WELL” is a deep topic ;+)
