Yes... Yes... I know. It's still a bit like seeing a grown man riding a bike with training-wheels. :-D  Come on, Australians are supposed to fetishise swimming. What other excuse is there for Tony Abbott?

(click to show/hide)Sorry, that was a trick question. There is no excuse for Tony Abbott.

KOODustin:
I love Emily.  Seriously.  I always look forward to her involvement in the comic for the day.  I hope she becomes a bigger character.

Yes, good point. In fact, during the recent London Olympics, after listening to the radio each morning, the internet became the only way I was able to reassure myself that London wasn't hosting a swimming festival.

Confession: I am a pretty terrible swimmer. I did get some kind of water safety certificate at school, but looking back at it, I wonder if they gave it to me out of pity. I barely made the 50m (or 100m or whatever it was) I was supposed to swim. It's not like I would drown if you threw me in a lake, but my swim style is terrible and my hips tend to sink. So if I was at a party like that, I would definitely be relaxing on one of those noodles.

On the other hand, my partner is a fantastic swimmer, but she would probably be floating on one of those things as well (at least some of the time, anyway) because she's already done her exercise that morning, damn it, and parties are just for relaxing.

Oh and, uh, I think you accidentally put the last sentence behind the spoiler tag instead of that photo. Blerg.

Edit: now that I've said all this, the next comic will feature Marten confessing that he's not much of a swimmer, and I'll feel silly.

Uhm, point of order?

That's STEVE in today's comic. Not Angus.
