B.C. by Mastroianni and Hart for February 21, 2024

You’ve outdone Charlie Brown.

That’ll give the kite eating tree something to chew on.

They has paper now for mails but kite still made of rock?

He could paint it white. That would be lighter.

You weren’t running fast enongh!

I used to make my own kites when I was a kid. I used newspaper and dried weed stalks for sticks. They worked pretty well. Kind of gives you an idea of how poor my family was when I was growing up.

But this comic got me to thinking. If a caveman wanted to make a kite, what materials could he find to use? Sticks probably wouldn’t be too hard to find, but what could he use for paper? Maybe he could make parchment from animal hides.

All I need is you tonight. Flying like a cement kite. Touch and go by The Cars.

He should beat that thing to a pulp

Go fly a kite!

Well that one went over like a “Lead Kite.”

let’s see the kite eating tree from peanuts have a go at that

Try leaves.

“That’s heavy dude.”

Or wait for a really strong wind.

As a kid I used to do a lot of kite flying (back when you can buy them for a dime.) We spent our summers at the beach. You could always depend on a good onshore breeze at night.

I did to. My dad showed me how to make glue out of flour and water. Can’t remember if anything else was mixed in there but it did work pretty good.

It’ll float but it won’t fly.

Stone Kite. You know, that could have been a band name back in the 70’s sort of like Led Zeppelin.

Maybe it’s a good thing that it failed…can you imagine it up in the air when the wind cuts out?

Good ideas come from everywhere.

government kite then like all-electric vehicles now

Doesn’t have to worry about the “Kite Eating Tree”. Check out todays Peanuts strip.

The ‘stone kite’ gags had me laughing loudly in the old B.C. I’m glad that Thor still hasn’t learned anything in the New Stone Age.

If the wind generates enough force to lift the stone kite, I certainly don’t want to be out in it.

I see the problem…way too much tail.

Ya think?

He should have used a kite

It’ll never fly.

I always thought the stones they use are very light considering they float on the water when a message is written on them.

in a couple million years, when they invent paper, it should be alot easier!

“….or hope for a REALLY strong wind.”

Pumice?

Checks.

If he got the idea to make a kite from watching birds, he should’ve known rocks wouldn’t work

Not worries about an anchor eating tree.

However, note the tail for stability!

This was the prototype for the led Zeppelin.
