The weirdest thing to me: I’ve had ugly bigass golf umbrellas all my life and had to use them frequently. Then I bought the much cooler Senz umbrella, and I swear, I keep it with me all the time, but I’ve only had the opportunity or need to use it maybe 6 times in 3 years. I WANT to use it, but somehow never need to because of rain timing. It’s like the weather knows and is thwarting me.
This one has a certain Calvin and Hobbes quality to it. I can easily imagine the boy doing most of these same things and coming to the same conclusion.
And Bug goes falling at the speed of stupid, I’m not sure how this all began…

It’s because your umbrella did not have a parrot head handle.
That can talk to you.
Try ask Mary Poppins. I think she’s working with the board of Physics so she got free pass for “Flying Umbrella” plot device.
I always thought, if the Penguin can pull this off it can hardly be that difficult.
I’ve almost thought it was about to happen a few times when the wind gave me more grief with the umbrella than the rain did without.
You’d probably just end up blown into a tree, get stuck there, and the birds would feast upon your eyes!
I bought a Senz umbrella 3 years ago after seeing this video of them skydiving out of an airplane with the umbrella open:

Panel 3 is pure comic gold, Adam.
Thanks!
I’d like to work for Big Parachute, sounds like fun. I heard they let someone use it every week… to test it.
When you retire, do you get a golden parachute?
Nice 😀

You could probably fly with an umbrella, but you’d need an extremely powerful updraft, which in it self would probably render the umbrella redundant.
That’s actually how a sail plane, or “glider” works. It uses ‘updrafts’ to keep aloft – sometimes for hours at a time!
Your umbrella just isn’t strong enough! The parachute companies paid the umbrella companies to make them weak.
