Indeed it has. (I hope I got the book number right(!)

Lazing away, on a frozen zoo lake
two docile Otters lie prone in the cold,
showing an ability to relax and doze
that never shall knowingly get old.

The Zoo is unattended, it seems here,
and no-one's checked on them in some ages.
It's nice to see them again, reclining at home,
these guys unseen since Volume 2's pages.

'Floating' around without distraction
and looking peaceful despite their plight
the two of them recline in their inaction
and continue onwards into the night.

May they return sooner rather than later
but that would mean the cast grew greater....

Yeah Tarmac, we could use some proactive attitude ! ... also shout for help

If they were frozen the entre time, how did they eat? Or WHAT did they eat?

Posted: **Mon Jan 06, 2014 2:29 am**

How did they get stuck like that? I would presume they'd have noticed the water freezing over. Over did it freeze over at night while they were asleep, floating?

Love how their positions remind me of the yin-yang symbol.

Plus, I totally want Tarmac's pendant/necklace thing.

i guess they relied on body fat (if ever they had some

)? otter than that, i have no idea.

How long have they been in there? It could only have been so long without hypothermia, even with body fat, but then why would they get in water that's that cold, or would freeze? Silly critters

I see that Tarmac has a new necklace (new to us at least), that's a good look. I take it it's wound around his neck to fit having been made human size?

Having just thought about it, was the Chinese speaking otter, seen only once, is the only female Zoo animal we've seen in the strip.

Well, that must suck. Can't move, likely freezing, but hey, trying to keep a positive attitude about it.

Jata had the pool frozen before he left, just to be a jerk.

Where's Keene and his blowtorch when you need them?

"Gambit?"
"Yes?"
"About being positive?"
"Hm-m?"
"I HATE MONDAYS!"

Yay! Tarmac and Gambit are back!

Posted: **Mon Jan 06, 2014 5:53 am**

Out of all the crazy things in this strip, this is the first one that's blown my suspension of disbelief.

Posted: **Mon Jan 06, 2014 6:02 am**

Not mine, Argent. I know a news story about some swans that were frozen into a lake overnight and had to be freed.

No one is going to comment on the reference to the cool song by the Chordettes? I love that song!

Posted: **Mon Jan 06, 2014 6:41 am**

Well the Tarmac and Gambit pattern seems to be setting up as 1 strip ever 3 years or 1 strip per change of art style, whichever comes first.

Posted: **Mon Jan 06, 2014 6:45 am**

I had heard they had been put on thin ice, but this is just silly! *bricked*

Posted: **Mon Jan 06, 2014 7:18 am**

It's nice to see Gambit and Tarmac again.

Posted: **Mon Jan 06, 2014 8:43 am**

Otter Pop.
Now available in ORANGE!

Posted: **Mon Jan 06, 2014 9:25 am**

So the otters after work were getting complaints from the head zoo keeper, saying they weren't working hard enough. Words were flying, the zoo keeper was giving a lot of heat to them otters, when suddenly... They just couldn't handle it anymore.

I WAS FROZEN TODAY!

The zoo Keeper backed off and never said a word.

Posted: **Mon Jan 06, 2014 10:29 am**

Well Gambit, at least your armpits don't itch! I mean that's almost as bad as when your nose itches and you can't scratch it!
Also, I remember that Song!!

and why no comic topic link last night? (curious)

Ya know, I remember one time when my two cats were sleeping next to each other and LITERALLY looked like the perfect Yin/Yang symbol (one is black, the other was tan) Thanks for remindin me of that!

The ice probably preserved their brains so they could survive.

Posted: **Mon Jan 06, 2014 11:15 am**

we need to start making otter puns then these!

Posted: **Mon Jan 06, 2014 12:10 pm**

"You're right, Gambit, think positive. At least that Fox what-his-name isn't here to annoy us"
"You otta' play cornhole wit' me!"
"OH DOG NO!"

You really went there, Rick...?

I don't know whether to complain or respect you 100 times more.

You're on thin ice for that pun.

That's pretty frosty.

Ouch, your words are like an icy stake in my heart. You may need to chill.

Posted: **Mon Jan 06, 2014 5:25 pm**

You guys are giving me brainfreeze!

Posted: **Mon Jan 06, 2014 5:28 pm**

Nice to meet the otters.

Ok take the not good moment positively, but it can't be really played down, until a moment it becomes worrying. The zoo staff has to do something to free you, impossible wait till the first hottest day.
