Wow, just terrific, dynamic artwork today.

That was an energetic jump.

Hmmm… Kate’s in a hole lot of trouble?

“FLONG!” LOLOL!

Sirius and Chaos can cause Kate some serious concern of late. Add an ominous FLONG and it is another level of shivering.

Uh oh!

Can Poppy be trusted to bring a ladder? And hold it?

Uh-oh. Now, who’s going to get them all out of the hole?

Well, that didn’t work.

“Hole lotta shakin’ goin on’”. Apologies to Jerry Lee Lewis.

I only started reading this comic. So I don’t know if this kind of horrific dangerous situations are normal in this strip. Too many kids died inside collapsing holes they dug into sand. This feels not like a funny topic to me. :-/

I think that’s the first time “FLONG” has ever been used as a sound effect in a comic. And as a sound effect fan, I love it!

LOL remember I wanted to create a “channel” for a Sand Castle that would draw water straight from the sea and tried to from 11 all the way to 14 years of age , it took that long to realize the tide would always fill it out with sand, I tried for three long summer weekends in South Padre Island and it took me until the summer between 8th and 9th grade to finally give up. As a result the sand castles never came up, except for a few badly made sand mounts. Then at 15 I tried to make a sand wall that looked realistic… well, I never grew up to be an architect or an artist… I draw a bit… but I would not make a good sculptor much less a sand sculptor… since all I got were more sand mounts.

This will be interesting!

FLONG sounds rather ominous.

“Flong,” the future pluperfect subjunctive of “fling.”

Oh no!
