I first saw this comic yesterday on the 12th. I was away from home at the time and only had my old ipad to view it on. When I would post my comment (as above) it would not show up for me even when I closed GoComics and relaunched and looked again. Which is why I would try all over again to post the comment. Today at home on my PC, I see that apparently it WAS getting through, repeatedly. : D
I grew up to fly a different sort of “kite”. I flew hang-gliders for a few years. Now THAT is a BLAST! It’s really cool to fly a couple hundred feet over a farmhouse below and holler at some kids and watch them looking around to figure out where the voice is coming from. That and also flying high enough that I could watch vultures soaring beneath me. Fun times!
A memorable kite event I did once or twice was flying multiple (5 or 6) kites linked together one after another on the same string. The first one up in this lineup got pretty high up there. You have to have stronger than usual string though as there’s a lot of pull on it with that many kites up there.
I looked at some videos of both Mary Flower (guitar) and Mean Mary (banjo). They are each very very skillful and enjoyable. Wonderful picking. Mean Mary has a beautiful singing voice.
