Whatever it takes to float your boat. Why limit yourself to the lake.

  Would you like to ride in my beautiful balloon?
  Would you like to glide in my beautiful balloon?
  We could float among the stars together, you and I
  For we can fly, we can fly
  Up, up and away
  My beautiful, my beautiful balloon

Looks like he’s trying to say something. What would you write in the pink speech bubble?…

  “Hope this sucker doesn’t pop” or ” I’m not getting too close to the sun like that stupid Icarus” or “I shoulda got a parachute”.

This weekend is Canada’s 150th birthday celebration so there will be more balloons probably than usual for our birthday celebration. I’m assuming it is also a favourite way to celebrate the 4th! Happy birthday to you and yours!

You’ve left quite to the imagination, which is good – i can read a few comments already with unique perspectives.

  I think that in art and poetry and other literature if there are many or alternate understandings the item and the creator have been successful. The artist should remain silent on his or her intent and let the item take on a life of its own.

Sandy and I ballooned twice : once in India and once over the ancient Khmer temples in Cambodia. What an unbelievable experience.

  I imagine such an experience would be magnificent. I would, however, recommend not to fly over smokey volcanoes.

  I thinki you are right. I hope they will all be safe despite this omission. Hmmm. Well I can always sketch a safe landing for all. My pen not fate determines the outcome.

  Father and I doing fine. Thank you. I remember something along double bubble. I was never a fan of bubble gum. I used to throw it away as all I really wanted were the baseball cards in the pack. I had all the greats but to my chagrin and sadness never got a Mickey Mantle card.

    I never cared much for the gum or the cards but my brothers loved the cards.
