Fun Facts

Beaver's French isn't all that good. In the last panel, he says, "My God! She flies! She flies!". But, unlike English-speaking nations, the French don't refer to flying or sailing objects as female. The correct version would be "Il vole!" (Reference)

Steve's scarf was hand knit by his grandmother.
