So Duncan was stuck after all, who would have thought? He didn't look stuck yet his knee was jammed and with his hands slipping on the vinyl swim float, made wet by the slide landing, he simply could not get out on his own no matter how hard he tried. His trainer recognized this and had some fun teasing him. "All in good fun" he said, "I deserved that, now help me out of this thing please." Sister Connie and girlfriend Sabrina got up from their poolside chairs and along with his trainer, the three strode towards him, presumably to pull him out.

Page 3 is one sweet panel by the first artist ever to draw Duncan,  tailgrip. When I last hired her back in March 2020 she was in the process of moving from the pacific northwest to the southeast coast in a pandemic no less, still I knew of all artists I wanted her to depict him first. Well-situated in her new digs it is a bit harder to get a slot with her now that she has become quite the popular otter artist.
