It happened to me last night just after I got off a tube train in London. A (probably non-English) woman got off just after me, managed to drive her suitcase-on-wheels over both by feet (and bounced it off one of my knees for good measure), then smiled and cheerfully said, "Thank you!"

Go figure!

PS: Fluffies have body parts visible only when relevant to the plot line. So hands, shoes, etc. don't appear unless it is necessary for plot purposes. God told the saucer people to get the reverse vampires from the Rand Corporation to have a word with me about doin it that way.

The other theory is that I'm too lazy and or talentless to draw them. Believe whichever story you find most plausible. :)

It may be that her English did not stretch to "Oops, sorry". Or that "Oops, sorry" was what she was attempting to communicate (like the French use "Sil Vous Plait to mean "Please", "You're welcome" and "There you go" and the Italian (from what little I comprehend) seem to use Prago in the same way).

Yes, I'm sure that was probably the reason. Nevertheless, the irony of the moment positively required its immortalisation in cartoon form! ;-)

Okay, now it makes a little more sense. If their grasp of English is tenuous... But it still doesn't really explain why they didn't stop after the first foot.





Your Fluffy comics are great! :-)

I have no idea why (even how!) she managed to hit a knee and both feet. Practice, I suppose, like juggling or riding a unicycle I suppose.

(And thanks for the compliment -- I'tm looking forward to your new Trusted Mech!)
