When I was a kid I use to go and ice skate on rivers and ponds. Sometimes playing hockey with friends. I had always been really careful when I’d hear the cracking sounds, or see the darker spots in the ice. I’d heard stories of people falling through the ice before and would practice in my head thinking about how to get out and how much time before the hypothermia would take me. I never fell in the ice though, all the practice for nothing.
And how can the ice hold the much heavier bear?
Additionally: Penguins are excellent swimmers: especially in ice water.
OK, I know, I know: It doesn't matter here!
Anyway: This strips really made me laugh!! Carry on, please!
