Drabble by Kevin Fagan for June 27, 2019

And we thought Norman was weird.

This is a family strip, so I’ll make only the vaguest allusion to any other protection he may be wearing. . . . Done.

I wore a life jacket while canoeing, it almost killed me. The canoe capsized, I came up and the back of my life jacket got caught on the lip of the upside down canoe. I couldn’t reach the surface of the water. I went down and away from the canoe and came up for air on the 2nd attempt.

“Okay, Stu, that’s fine, but where’s your tinfoil hat?”

Stu joined the “Coast Guard… Youth… Auxiliary!”… :-P

I thought he came accidentally from 2049 in a time machine made out of a Chevy Volt

thing is…what is going to protect you from the heat stroke you may end up getting from wearing all that stuff in the middle of a summer day?

A bullet proof vest would be more useful these days.

So Stu how are you’re parents, Mr. and Mrs. Pid?

Had a scoutmaster would would ask for something completely off-the-wall. Then say, “Be prepared!”

What kind of adventure is this kid planning for the day??!

In the first panel, if he is wearing a parachute…it is VERY small, totally invisible.

“And a built-in airbag…”

Paranoia strikes deep

Into your life it will creep

It starts when you’re always afraid

You step out of line, the man come and take you away

And lives in a bunker.

No bullet proof vest? Crash helmet? Combat boots?

I thought the only people that walked around wearing parachutes were CEOs…

I think I know this guy . . .

Stu is worse off than Norm!!!
