Why you never hunt snipe with Spike and Norville. As if you were thinking about it, right?
Snipe Hunting
My brother John and I avoided the snipe hunting trap when we were kids. I assume it was because we were avid readers? Maybe we had heard the stories of snipe hunting. The initiation of many peer groups included a testing of your mettle. There are many versions of snipe hunting, all with the same purpose. Did you have a thick skin or not? Did you take yourself too seriously? It may fall under the realm of bullying nowadays. Back in the day, it was a social reminder not to take yourself too seriously. Still, I am glad I was never left “holding the bag.”
First draft OG version
ComicsOnline.com posted the first draft of this cartoon on March 25, 2022. It definitely needed a digital facelift!
Using four panels instead of three let me spread out the dialogue. Note Zee’s pronouns — why would a robot assume gender norms? Especially when your name is Zee. Just go with Zee, dude. Oh, now I ruined it!
It’s OK if you are not familiar with the snipe, and don’t want to google it. A more detailed explanation of the snipe is coming soon!
I wonder if anyone has ever created a superhero called the Snipe?
