Dark Side of the Horse by Samson for July 22, 2021

Hopefully the water is more than just a few inches deep.

I don’t know, Horace. Sure looks like the tide is out…

It’s impolite to wear your shoes in the pool, Horace.

I remember seeing on television a circus act where the horse and rider dove into a pool from a high platform. I’m sure it wouldn’t be allowed today with all the animal cruelty laws and such.

Will Horace hurt himself? Well, it deep-ends…

Spoils the joke in the third panel.

Horace misinterprets the basic motions of the inward dive…!

LOL!

Horace, you LOOK MAH-velous! ;+)

Silly symmetric subsidence?

Reminds me of Ned Beaty as Otis trying to climb the ladder to the balloon Lex Luthor had already boarded to escape prison in Superman II.

You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make him dive

Bravery has its limits.

Agnes needs this. :)

Oh! The diving board was lowered! duh
