Hey, parents of Dora fans: Swiper paddles C1!
by Quico Reed
I think only a parent will truly appreciate this....but I'll make it clear to everyone, it's kinda funny.
"Dora the Explorer" is a cartoon on Nickelodian that is kind of fun, and my little girl is a "Dora addict". We have to record Dora all the time so she can watch it over and over...I hope it's just a phase.
One of the characters in the cartoon, I think he's the coolest one, is a Fox named Swiper who, as his name implies, tries to steal things from Dora and her monkey friend, Boots.
In an episode I saw yesterday, Dora and Boots had to navigate a river in a canoe (which in itself caught my attention...I always wonder if the animators are clueless about boats, which they generally are).
Along came Swiper--In a C1!
This cracked me up. I mean, here you have animators that sometimes have Dora rowing a rowboat BACKWARDS, that's how little they know about boats, but along comes Swiper in a C1. It was pink (how embarrassing for Swiper!), and was tiny, like a converted K1 rodeo boat, but with a definite C1 cockpit shape. He had skirt and everything, I think (i'll have to study the video again). I couldn't get it out of my mind last night. I spent the Christmas week thinking, should I replace my kayak with another kayak, or change to C1? and along come Swiper in a C1. It just tickled my funny bone.
Well, anyway, I hope some of you can appreciate that.
I think I'm changing my online name to SwiperC1!
