Probably should get to shore quickly before the sharks see you.After you rest up, tie the logs together and give it another shot..

Gee, they had rope back then.

Details, details ….

I’m guessing he did knot know how to do that…

At least he gets to say “I told you so”. (-:

“But you didn’t insist!"

Come on! Even Gilligan knew how to make a raft!

Whatever floats your boat, fellows!

It is easy to point out the fault in others.

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” – Theodore Roosevelt.

looks like Wilson already abandoned ship

Suddenly, “Log Rolling” became a Sporting Event!

No, you SHOULD have got ON that Ark when you had a chance.

Luckily there was some wood left over for you to FLOAT on.

“Whelp, that’s how we learn!”

What was the rope for then?

United we stand, divided we drown. hmm… could be a lesson there

Good plan and logistics. Poor execution.

What’s the rope for if not to tie it together?

DUH!

Live and learn.. early raft builders did not have You-Tube

Let’s see… Logs cut to same size – check; rope wrapped around logs – check; push assembly into water and get aboard – ummm?

A variation of the old visual joke about: marketing proposed vs. sales specs vs. engineering design vs. what assembly put together vs. what the customer really wanted.

It’s easier to keep our distance this way, and it’s a good thing we are with that ‘I told you so’ attitude.

Thor Heyerdahl must have read this comic.

Thor Heyerdahl, is laughing at you, not with you.

Rolling on the River!

Fossilized fragments of “probably two-ply laid rope of about 7 mm diameter” were found in one of the caves at Lascaux, dating to approximately 15,000 BC. The ancient Egyptians were probably the first civilization to develop special tools to make rope.

Maybe this is a continuation from Sunday’s comic strip?

Not lashing them together has created a whole raft of problems.

And he raft, and raft, and raft.

So their mistake was to use rope to rope the logs together?

But you did knot help me!
