Crabgrass by Tauhid Bondia for April 14, 2021

How is Kevin going to get back up?

What next?

At this rate, I’m expecting a return of the coyote.

Never a break…

Kevin: “How can this day possibly get any worse? Murder hornets in snorkels?”

When will he hear the sound of the waterfall he’s being swept towards?

doubt it really is over….jellyfish maybe?

Tomorrow’s strip: there are piranhas in the water!

Smooth move. Bees hate water.

How long will you be able to hold your breath?

This reminds me of a Tom and Jerry cartoon, back when they were still good and before Chuck Jones cheapened the franchise.

I wonder what will be after him while in the water?

Typically, bees will wait ’til you resurface for air, then strike.

cartoonist must have laryngitis, no dialogue in over a week…

…here come the leeches…

if you look at the first strip you can see how Kevin has changed in looks

His whole day has been taking a dive…

You can run but you can’t hide

Are the bees leaving?

now for the water snake

cue Godzilla to come out of the water

Splash them.

huh, can’t believe that actually worked!

YES! I’VE READ ALL THE CRABGRASS STRIPS FROM START TO END!

many years ago: Two kids in backyard 3 and 4 years old. four yr old stung, 3 yr old told to not touch (area of suspected nest) of course she touched. The result was the bees following us into house and (after grabbing purse and kids) we headed out the front door. there were still insects on younger, the one who had actually touch nest, trying to sting her through a heavy sweater. The curious thing was I didn’t get stung. the kids 4 yr old the first victim had one. and 3 yr old had most. We used a pay phone at end of street to call Grandma to come get us and stayed over night. PS: My Brother checked house and removed insects.

howed he get into this mess

next panel – aligator eyes behind him.

Notice that the bees were splashed by the water…

apparently not

Reminds me of “Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No-Good Very Bad Day.” Does he want to move to Australia?

This has been continued 4eva

Kids, don’t do this. The bees will wait for you to come up and then sting you.

Fun fact; jumping into water will NOT discourage bees! They’ll actually wait for you, knowing you’ll have to come up for air eventually!

Water doesn’t work, Kevin.
