How inventive. What a wonderful idea.

Have to admit that it’s a unique way to play the game…

I see no lags.

Obviously the best kind.

Enjoy yourself, Mimi!

We play hopscotch at the “local”, but we use real hops & real Scotch!

When creativity takes a day off…

Joy is infectious

Been there. Done that. Got the whole flipping wardrobe.

She is such a little sweetie-pie!

Octopus better watch out … and preferably move back. She has to turn around on 10 and start back toward 1.

BTW, can someone please explain why the spaces in this game were numbered from 1 to 10, instead of the much more proper 0 through 9? We have known and understood the concept and importance of ‘zero’ since the ancient Egyptians. Why do we teach kids to ignore it in counting games?

BTW, I once saw a group of kids drawing a sidewalk hopscotch pattern that ran from 1 to 100. 8^O

Artistically a very good strip.

Guys, check out TEN CATS today and see the adorable elephant Oliver has for a new friend. His name is Baxter.

I’ll bet he and Ollie would come over to play with you too.

I love Mimi’s menagerie of lovable creatures!

I’ve been wondering why Mimi doesn’t get to meet up with other kids. She’s got plenty of pretend friends but the two families don’t even meet up much.
