Frank's Sketchbook Entry of the Day

Participated in the Ithaca festival parade yesterday with IAUA (ultimate frisbee summer league group). We marched, had frisbees (I mean discs), threw them around, and generally had a good time. It rained moderatly hard for 10 minutes before the parade, but it always rains before the Ithaca Festival parade, unless it's raining during the parade. What we didn't think much about was that there were horses ahead of us in the parade, like way ahead of us. It didn't matter. After some time, a few of us realized that the discs were a bit slippery, and so were our fingers. And then with horror, we understood why.

Just a quick sketch. The bottom part is supposed to be a news paper stand wtih a newspaper in it with a headline that reads "Eww!". Originally the newspaper read "bad news" a la Calvin's summary of what he learned from the incident with the snow goons, i.e., Snow Goons are Bad News. But then I decided "eww!" sums it up better.

My advice for such a circumstance is: go in front of the horses, wear gloves, or never drop the disc nor let anyone else do so.
