And escalators and people movers, they’re such bizarre things. But usually when on them, I can’t bring myself to walk, because moving me is their function. I can be an odd duck. 🙂
You could probably set her down, too.
For some reason, I hear “The girl from Ipanema” playing when I look at todays comic.
I always keep moving on these things, because I don’t want to break my stride. When I’m walking, I’m walking, I don’t care if the ground moves under me too. I find stop-and-go to be more tiring than just continuous go.
Nobody gonna slow you down. Oh no, you got to keep on moving.
Nice one Chris.
On today’s action packed episode of Spacetrawler we have more sapient arrows followed by elevator music.
That moment when your legs say “yeah, I’m done” and they quit working. That’s a thing to put off for as long as you can.
Walking on a moving flat walkway is one thing. Running up a moving escalator is a great way to find out what hitting one of those jagged metal stair edges with your face is like.
I always used to keep moving on escalators, since I wouldn’t stop walking and just stand around normally, so why do it while on an escalator?
Then I met my wife who thinks differently. Partly because skirts.

Sooo… now you’re …
(…wait for it…)
… skirting the issue?
Hem-ing and hawing, maybe?
The logic gets spoiled when one considers that Tesfay should just put Goonth down, as the escalator can carry them both and Tesfay doesn’t have to expend his strength carrying her over his shoulder for the trip. What’s the real gain here?
Finding reasons to excuse machines for doing their job is a fault I never had. I’ve encountered too many malfunctioning machines to put my trust in them absolutely. I’m on a slidewalk, fine. Walking makes the trip faster, and it doesn’t bother the slidewalk at all. It also keeps me in practice for when the bloody thing stops for reasons of its own and doesn’t bother explaining it to you or even, in most instances, even bloody warning you it’s going to happen. For this I should be grateful? Machines that don’t do what I tell them to do I throw out. I don’t care if its an escalator, a cellphone or a hammer. Fail me and you’re trash, machine. Never forget that — if you can.
