not sure Dan would be willing to do a sword fight hmmm

…so it no longer abrases the cover! (There’s a phrase you don’t see everyday in the comics.)

Don’t mean to rub you the wrong way, but I believe the word is abrades.

Aye, that’s the rub: using your noodle!

En garde!

Step aside, before I hit you with my wet noodle….

Pool noodles have become the go-to for many uses….☺️☺️

This is the difference between humans and lower animals. Lower animals do not have pool noodles.

Ms. Fix-it…!

You look like a ninja in panel 3. Love it! Plus, what’s that graphic on your shirt?

I’m glad you have your priorities in order.

Sword fight is a given. I’m only old enough not to have one in the store aisle.

Sigh…..alas I was born to early to have gotten to play with pool noodles…one of my great regrets in life. Don’t be to concerned though, on the list of great regrets, this one is pretty low on the list :-)

The noodle is one of the greatest inventions of the last 50 years. It’s much better than the rounded corners on the iphone.

If you make the right noises that sword fight can become a duel of light sabers.

Fight, fight, fight.

Genius!

I tried to write a book titled 101 Uses for Pool Noodles but I didn’t get enough contributions or ideas, one of which was to cover furniture corners to prevent toddler accidents, packing furniture and covering the pole between my tub and my toilet when my shoulder was inflamed and in SO much pain that the idea of bumping it hurt.

I like the sword fight idea.

Mandy…I am your father!

Brilliant!

Love yr “have at thee!” expression in the final panel!
