Adam, miss ice cream?

Clayton [With A Big Smile]: “I’ll say!”

You snooze, you lose

And if the writing thing doesn’t work out, this can also be philosopher training.

Ice Cream practice? That’s a performance you don’t want to miss!

I’m impressed by Adam’s and Katy’s form. Heads neither drooping with drool dripping down nor lolling back with mouths agape.

But this “Ice Cream Practice”? As far as I’m concerned it’s “Eat or eat not. There is no practice.”.

No. No. No. Uh-uh. Nope. Adam’s keenly-honed dessert senses will not desert him now. He heard the spoon scooping, the ice cream plopping, the smell wafting. They’re just a little… delayed? … distracted? … asleep?

I admire their head balancing control. If I sleep sitting up my head sags towards my belly button. Drool continues the journey south. Ick.

“Ice cream practice”? Well, that’s just silly.

Katy’s tummy forgot to gurgle in panel two…

Meditation isn’t sleeping. Never confuse the two.
