Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for July 15, 2011
Transcript:
Okay, kid, I'm an exhausted swimmer, and you're without a flotation device. What do you do? Um... A cross-chest carry? Well, then, go ahead! What are you waiting for? I... I'm trying, but... I can't get a good hold! Try harder, junior! You can't dillydally when it comes to water safety! Just grab something! One second later... Not the hair, boy. Oops.

I do remember seeing an illustration of this life saving technique when I was a boy scout. Of course there aren’t to many boy scouts with toupees!

Too much suntan lotion and… a toupee? Uh-oh, Coach will never live that down and hopefully Nate isn’t punished the rest of his life…

Hahaha I think I had that same coach in high school. He was always getting hit “accidentally” by volleyballs and basketballs that would knock his toupee off. We had to run a lot of laps in that class.
