HUSKER

Splash!

I’m wet.

Why am I wet?

It’s just my tail.

But it’s wet.

Yuck.

Where did my mom go?

Why is my tail wet?

I don’t like being wet.

I want a towel rub.

Mom, can I have a towel rub?

Wait, where is my mom?

This stupid water is cold!

Abort!

But there’s some weird leafy thing in the water.

Looks suspicious.

Mom says leave the pondweed alone.

Is that pondweed?

Ugh, my whole nose is wet.

Dumb idea.

Mom?

Wait, what’s that smell?

It smells sweet.

Ooh, frosting!

Did I get it all?

Better swipe my tongue out once more.

All gone.

I wish there was more.

Why is Mom in the water?

Does she like being wet?

No, being wet is stupid.

Who’s that?

It’s a man on the shore.

He looks nice.

I bet he gives good belly rubs.

Is he coming to save my mom?

Where is my mom?

Uck, my nose is still wet.

My tail’s wet too.

I want my towel rub.

And treats.

I definitely deserve treats.

That pondweed looks weird.

Where did my mom go?

Did she go get pizza?
