Paddlin'
merit badge for summoning demons

One of my favorite things in night time canoeing. So many crazy things have happened doing that. True, it can be dangerous but that is what makes it fun.
So we know exactly what sort of counselor Claire would be, and this revelation was to nobody’s surprise 🤓
Jeph is making an Analogy. https://www.oglaf.com/canoe/
Find a comic character who looks at you the way Tai looks at Dora in panel two
What about *supervised* night canoeing? If you could get a counselor to go along with it, does that make it better?
It's at least considerably less risky if you have someone to call for help and provide a locating light.
Unsupervised night canoeing is dangerous, but also wonderful. Ask me how I know. (Spoiler alert: I did it.)
But did you know!? https://www.collectorsweekly.com/articles/love-boats-the-delightfully-sinful-history-of-canoes/
Ok that was fascinating!
Makes me think of the Blood Pact Scouts from Nightvale.
Tai's expression in panel 2... <3
I missed that! Glad you pointed it out. 😊
Paddling a canoe. *snorts* I wonder if that still means what it used to.
Along that line of thought, what would “up the creek without a paddle” mean?
Dora, aren't you like five years older than Tai? Not a huge deal if you're both in your 20s but if they were in scouts at the same time then meeting then would probably make a future relationship impossible.
Or at least a felony
The goth scout cookies are made from real girl scouts.
Wednesday Addams would approve.
Canoedling It was going to bother me if I didn't type it.
Thank you for your service. Somebody had to throw themselves onto the live pun to save the rest of us.
"Unsupervised Night Canoeing" would make for a GREAT album title.
Canoeing... hur hur
Canoeing without permission? That’s a paddlin’
Ah, yes. Fond memories of singing campfire songs like "This Corrosion" and "Bela Lugosi's Dead."
They sound great on the counselor's all-black electric autoharp.
I know enough from Goth TikTok that the woodworking badge has to do with coffin making, science badges involves mortuary work (among others), and there’s at least two mechanical badges involving repairing a hearse and knowing if a hearse can maneuver through the Jack in the Box or Dunkin’ Donuts drive through.
She's been to camp. She knows what happens when you take a canoe out at night.
Sneakin' away to smooch the goth scouts? That's a paddlin'
One of the best parts with those self-possessed take-no-nonsense women being all stern and concerned....
Paddlin' the camp canoe? That's a paddlin'. Smoochin' all the other scouts? That's a paddlin'. . o O (Although that would be a popular activity for some, now that I that I consider it.)
I confess, that's where my mind went as well. I mean, Goth Scouts? There's considerable overlap in the Goth and BDSM communities. But then my brain seized up. 'Cause, well, Scouts. Underage. Ick.
Goths can bake. It is known.
I have yet to meet one who could
As a longtime camp kid and counselor I can see both sides to this argument.
I mostly see Claire's. Explaining drowned tweens and teens to parents and attorneys is always a pain
Claire is right on this one. You never know what is hiding under the surface.
I misread the title to this one. My bad. I thought it said "Paladin." Now I have the them song to "Have Gun Will Travel" running through my ears.
Claire, my dude. I think they're fucking with you.
She's no dude and I'm fully confident that Tai really did wanna make out with ALL of them 😤
Oh, if only all wedding panic could be solved with a breakaway tutu and shorts...
I prefer to believe Goth Scouts aren't real and they're just doing a bit to see how long Claire plays along
But in the QCverse, who knows? Maybe the existence of Goth Scouts is a side effect of the Singularity
