Actually, unless the snow is packed down hard, a toboggan would be much better here. The sled runners would just sink in. I know; I grew up in New England. No charge for today’s advice.
Love this strip, but Amelia’s such a mean stereotype of comic strip ffemales of the last 50 years or so – bossy, self-absorbed, ridiculing and with NO consequences. Lucy van Pelt must be her grandmother. IRL boys often have thicker skin against criticism than girls, but I wish these guys would ostracize her occasionally, in favor of a cooler gal.
