Long Way from Home Page 18
Because I think of this webcomic as a kid-friendly adventure (but adult-friendly, too), I spared y’all the gruesome details of the kraken’s demise. Kinda sad, though. It was just looking for a bite to eat. I’m the kinda guy who roots for the predator on nature shows. “I know that bunny is really cute, but I don’t want the mountain lion to starve.” My kids do not share this sentiment. However, I make exceptions for elephants. They got it rough, man.
Discussion (3) ¬
one day my two daughters and I were coming home from school. We spotted a deer. Big one. A buck with gorgeous antlers. The oldest one who was 7 at the time says “I wish we had a gun so we could shoot it and make sausages.”
So, yeah, I think my kids would be rooting for the lion, too. ;-))
A friend of mine told me of a similar comment her daughter made about rabbits. Maybe it’s a sign that kids are hungry and need a snack. Low blood sugar leads to primal predatory behavior. 🙂
