Here we behold the 1800s version of high-speed car race XD
Hmm, if a carriage is a car, does that make a horse a motorcycle?
YES
Hey, maybe it’s a Japanese horse, so it knows what a Tokyo Drift is.
Deja vu?
“When one drifts, if one is not out of control, one is not in control!”
I’ve just been in this place before…
A Tokyo Draft horse if you will
Oh! Good one!
aww nao he WANTS to be followed
Did the ‘phew’ come before the horse came around the corner (relief at having escaped), or after it appeared (because he needs them following for his Nefarious Plans)?
Ooh, good question.
If the creators wanted to depict that he’s happy to be followed, I think they would have more clearly shown him seeing them come around the bend. I think he just missed them.
Who would have thought it? A regular Princess Anne chasing him down. Cutting sharp corners is par for the course in horse jumping. Does Harry leap onto the carriage next week? Driving a carriage takes skill according to my learned wife. Cannot shoot and stay on course. Now I hedged my bets. Win or place, show is running into Eliza and Knotty
Elaine is a former horse girl? Nice!
Take it from me, there is no such thing as a former horse girl. Equestrianism is like malaria: it may go into remission, but it can’t ever be fully cured.
Ah yes, they’re doing the rarely seen horse wheelie…
First time I’ve seen a horse drift around a corner…
Yeah, I noticed that too. But with much less hoof scrambling.
It might be biologically and physically impossible, but it is very visually funny!
The horse can do that because its shoes are imbued with showboating - a portmanteau summons of vanity, arrogance and stupidity.
Yay mom! Let’s hope Harry isn’t blinded by flying petals.
That’s one habit she’s passed down, at least - to Florrie. 😉
Do you think we’ll ever meet Florrie’s husband?
I don’t think it’ll be any big loss if we don’t. 😕
phew
Why, Mrs. Barber… o_õ
You’ve been hiding your proverbial light beneath the wheat, haven’t you?
I hope this little reminder of your wilder years will shake you loose of this infernal pressure to conform to the expectations of society - and improve your relationship with your daughters and son.
You can be forgiven for bending reality in pursuit of an exciting climax. At least Ma Barber appears to be holding the reins properly. Lots of artists get that part wrong.
I love the townspeople looking at them!
Now we need Elaine's back story; Frederick and Elaine's version of ‘Find the Lady’.
Mrs. Barber, what in the world are you doing spending your days being such a stick in the mud, when you could be this instead?
