The cowardly scion.

I do believe that the little twerp suffers from acrophobia.

Maybe he shouldn’t have had that energy drink.

Jarvis was hoping the twerp wouldn’t make it alive to the bottom.

“They gotta figure out a way to make these mountains lower”.

No matter how much money you have, you can’t buy off reality.

Looked easy on youtube.

This strip had me at the first panel: The Sled.

Where is Calvin when you need him?

At least the helicopter company is getting something out of this adventure. I hope Jarvis gets a ride down too.

Just out of curiosity, how was Jarvis supposed to get back down?

Looked good in the (helicopter) window.

Obviously he’s going back to get his toboggan, since those sleds are no good in powder snow.

Perhaps this is just an imaginary adventure

Well, there went an hour shot to #@// googling Bella Coola and heliskiing.

He didn’t want to be a lemming and go over the cliff..☺️☺️☺️

Live and learn little one.

How was Jarvis suppose to get back to the lodge?

Jarvis, call the copter before he asks you to test if it’s possible to survive by sledding down there!!!

Is the twerp standing in yellow snow? Why Yes!

Is that fecal matter I see running down Sledwick’s leg?

A friend did that. Needed the helicopter back too! Because he hit a rock and broke his leg in four places.

And Jarvis thinks to himself………..just me and the twerp…. no helicopter in sight…….. just a little push down the hill……(sighs)…. Oh well………. ‘Very well, Sir. Calling now.’

He’ll probably blame the helicopter pilot for landing in the wrong place which is why he didn’t go down that slope. (He wasn’t afraid – the snow wasn’t pristine enough, someone had already been there, etc., etc., etc.)

“He looks like the Pope ovah theah! Kissin tha ground!”

Look at that. A couple Southies saved up.

Tell them to send the helicopter with the toilet.

Sedgewick’s got quite the grip on that snow in the last panel. They’ll have to pry him off. :)

Last night I watched a youtube video of a guy doing extreme snowboarding, setting off an avalanche, and being swallowed up by it.

Sedgwick has more brains than I gave him credit for.

In real life, the Trumpian spawn don’t bother with slow, clunky, limited-range choppers, they jet over to Africa to off endangered species so they can have something rare to hang on the walls back home.

Bella Coola. (zoom out)

Double black diamond slope on a Flexi-Flyer. We are missing all the fun.

Not this year. Like the rest of BC, Bella Coola is having an unusually warm winter.

It would only take a very little push Jarvis
