Dark Side of the Horse by Samson for November 17, 2023

Ah, yes! It seems Horace got himself into the BETA phase of some sandbox game! The developers are testing terrain altering physics, I assume.

Don’t look under there, Horace—you don’t want to know.

I guess if Horace had pushed the other button, he’d be stuck in the floor right now…

Samuli, you are amazing. ANOTHER elevator gag!

Thanks to Horace I now take the stairs whenever I can.

Instead of going up to the next floor, this floor is coming up on you.

upping the ante…

Cool! An auto-entry elevator! If it’s a unique elevator, Horace is gonna find it.

Good morning…

well, that’s one way to force someone inside. :j

He has risen.

Looks like Horace needs a little lift today…!

I recognize a tent pole when I see one.

Not tells me it a new volcano!

That looks like the T-1000 rising up behind you at the vending machine.

Now it’s not just the elevator itself that’s getting in on the antics…

Going up?

The good news is that there was an elevator behind those doors.

Always a surprise and a delight!

I hope there is a part 2. I actually would love to read a book based on this one.

Under ground rumblings that took Horace to new heights. And lows…..

Land shark? He’ll need a bigger elevator.

Horse fly.

This strip reminds from time to time to some of the scenes from Little Nemo or some of the strip’s famous creator other tales: Dreams from a Welsh Rarebit or Little Sammy Sneeze, specially the last one. It’s simpler artwork, but the perspective and the handling of frames and geometry is similar.
