Um, I can’t help but feel we skipped a step here. What happened to the other four guys! Also, still not sure how I feel about Charlotte with those guns…
Oh heavens. I learned Gun Safety from my father at age 6, got my first child-sized .22 single-shot rifle at 7, and was hunting squirrels by myself at 8. Everyone who went to my rural high school regularly had their weapons in their cars during hunting season it was never a problem back then in the 80s.
Fortunately, this is a work of fiction, and does not reflect actual modern life.
p.s. I never felt tempted to emulate Wile E. Coyote’s inventions either.
Those guys would have caught her long ago if she couldn’t dodge them easily. Judging by the vines she used to get to the boat, she climbed a tree and swung down.
“Shucks” huh? Well, the first two letters are correct, anyway.
And to reply to Scorpinac – the vines she’s using to swing onto the boat are visible all around her in the previous page. My guess is she grabbed them and swung over to the boat, swinging over the other guys’ heads in the process. They’re on the opposite shore, probably trying to run into the water to reach her in the boat.
Bof, c’est vrai que “éh merde!”, comme juron, c’est de la p’tite bière, mais c’est pas une raison de le dénaturer avec des sensibilités anglo-saxons, bordel! 😋
That’s a good way to get shot by nervous amateurs with loaded weapons. But bravo for being brave enough to be the bait.
If the jungle girl is the bait… I agree. She’s fearless.

Uncomfortable is how you should feel. Though she seems pretty happy about it.

Varyon is exactly right… and The Author probably didn’t care to draw the perfunctory inbetweens.
Entrinnen!
Now: Exposition!
I’ve heard of a splash page…. but this is ridiculous!
