I took a notion to draw a wee comic last night, based on my real-life experience where I felt bad for some sticks.

Comic page. 2 Panels.

Panel 1: Me walking my dog in the woods.

Caption: Not to brag - but I walk my dog, okay/

Caption: We often find ourselves in the local woods.

Panel 2: Me looking at a big stretch of boggy muck.

Caption: There's this one big stretch of boggy muck on the pack we take.

Caption: You're probably thinking that we just shouldn't go this way. Hey you might be right. First time for everything, as they say.

Comic page. 1 Panel

Panel 1: Me and the dog walking over the boggy muck, elevated on sticks laid into the dirt.

Caption: Every few weeks, though - someone lays down a very useful series of branches so we can cross with ease.

Caption: That's nice isn't it? Someone taking the time and expending the effort to build a little bridge.

Caption: I often wonder who it is. Perhaps it's more than just one person. That's a comforting thought.

Panel 2: Me looking at a big stretch of boggy muck.

Caption: There's this one big stretch of boggy muck on the pack we take.

Caption: You're probably thinking that we just shouldn't go this way. Hey you might be right. First time for everything, as they say.

Comic Page - 1 Panel. Me crossing the sticks, we see all the previous sticks crushed down deep into the dark mud.

Caption: It's funny how guilty I feel when a branch breaks - like I've undone their good work, y'know?

Caption: But within a weeo or two, there's a new set of branches ready to be trodden into the mud.

Caption: It's hard not to think about all those other branches, crushed down deper in the dark with every new layer.

Comic Page 2 panels.

Panel 1: Me standing in the woods looking down at the path.

Caption: maybe it's my turn to lay down some branches for the next folk who come this way.

Caption: God knows it wouldn't take long - and I definitely have the time.

Panel 2: Shot of my hands holding the sticks I'd need.

Caption: Nah

And another thing, I'm not mad, don't put in the paper that I got mad

YouTube comment on the video."The Basics on the Tripredacus Council," reading: "The Narrator lied that The Maximals are the descendants of The Autobots and The Predacons are the descendants of The Decepticons, it's because in truth that The Narrator needs to know that Beast Wars has nothing to do with Transformers and The Maximals have nothing to do with The Autobots and The Predacons have nothing to do with The Decepticons, it's because in truth that The Narrator needs to know that The Maximals are not The Descendants Of The Autobots and The Predacons are not The Descendants Of The Decepticons, it's because in truth that The Autobots nor The Decepticons can't shrink themselves down to normal size nor transform The Autobots into The Maximals nor The Decepticons transform themselves into The Predacons into The Decepticons, it's because that that isn't how ancestry works."
