There’s the guy who went over Niagara Falls in a barrel, and didn’t have a scratch on him. Went on a lecture tour of Australia, slipped on a banana peel, and died of the complications.
It was an orange peel, but the banana peel myth has grown in popularity due to the banana peel supplanting the orange peel in slip gags since Chaplin used one in his 1915 short, By The Sea.
I’ve had ‘one foot slips’ often.
The worst thing about them (IMHO) is not the eventual hard meeting with gravity’s wishes.
The worst thing is that stretch in the groin from having one foot/leg heading out into ‘no control’ regions while the other stays ‘right here’.
At least, that’s how it’s been for me.
For a female, the effect may be slightly different.
I don’t consider it too bad if it doesn’t result in permanent disability . . . one of our neighbors did a one-legger in the snow, and was disabled for the rest of his life.
I find ‘short slips’ are the worst.
Just as the body is starting to get used to the idea of slipping, the foot suddenly stops, resulting in its associated leg concertinaing back into the hips.
Bonecruching pain at every point from the hips through to the heel & toes (depending on the footwear).
I did a one footer getting out of the shower. Rug was 6 inches from where I thought and the linoleum floor had gotten wet. Slammed my back into the shower doors right on my spine and then went down hard onto the floor. I was able to get up after a while. Hobbled back to bed and fell asleep. Woke up the next morning and I couldn’t move. Had to call 911. Spent a month between two hospitals being forgotten and treated like I was a nuisance. Then transferred to an absolute DUMP of a physical facility where I spent a month learning to walk again until my insurance ran out then I was shipped home to find none of the durable goods ordered had been delivered. Been 7 years and I still require a walker.
Unintentional(??) sabotage by Nudge just adds to the hi-jinks, doesn’t it?
I’m assuming she meant to say adversary.
I’d put it down to having her brains rattled by the explosion, myself . . .
Tricksters don’t even have to try.
That is their a-peel…
They’re slippery that way.
Advisery about Adversaries.
Shouldn’t that be “adversary” instead of “advisory” in the first panel?
Sometimes, the old classics are really hard to beat.
Came late and missed all the fun, either that or the typo never existed and you all are crazy.
I definitely heard that scream in Goofy’s voice. ouaie.
Oh, Nudge; you are such a card,,,
It should have been “Ooh-eee-ooh-ah-ah!”
” . . . ting, tang, walla-walla bing-bang . . .”
Visit the witch doctor often, do we?
Conscience is so shocked her eyes have gone all human!

Is this their Achilles Heel?

well, a banana peel is more easily seen in those old films, so it makes sense that substitution was made.
My guess: The lever started a Q room replay of Castela having her plasma beam meltdown.
I prefer to think that the lever just sent a text message to Castela. Castela doesn’t need to in the same building to blast someone anymore.

Either she is eating a second banana or it is one of the very rare double-peel varieties. Top banana for sure.
