If you think that’s bad, try doing a forward roll! I showed what a forward roll is to my two and a half year old son, and i got so dizzy i could not stand up.
When I was demonstrating on the swing that “This is nothing to be scared of, daddy is having fun” I felt sick afterwards for HOURS.
Apparently sometimes adults get really disoriented from quick orientation changes. This is supposed to be rare, but normal.
While it’s common knowledge how expressive Bug characters are, I’d still like to point out I find baby bug’s expressions especially great – that joy in panel three and pure, utter determination to obstruction in panel four.
I think that might have something to do with the added body mass. As you get older, there’s more OF your body that has to deal with the spinning. That being said, I wouldn’t really compare it to intoxication (although #TheTetotaller probably shouldn’t be talking).
@ Adam – Just wait until she’s old enough to use the swings.
DTIBA is close, but the primary effect on the swings is caused by height, not weight. An adult’s head is closer to the axis, so it experiences more of a “twist” with each movement of the swing. A really small kid (at low amplitude) experiences not much more than “back and forth”.
I don’t know… I remember spinning as a kid precisely because it was intoxicating, because if I spun long enough (it took a while) I would get dizzy and fall down. Fun!
It’s a matter of being used to it. As a kid you twirled all the time and so you were used to the effects. How often did you twirl between the ages of 13 and now? Bet it wasn’t much.

Totally unrelated to the comic, but…
Hi, fellow Hungarian! (Or, if you’re not a Hungarian, then fellow person with a Hungarian name :))

Same here.
Can’t complete one revolution without feeling sh*t-faced? Sounds like Cuba.
States did that like more then 200 years ago and still haven’t recovered.
They still think they are a democracy of all things. ^_-

So THAT explains why Lynda Carter wasn’t in the Wonder Woman move…
