Why the prejudice against sewer-dwellers?

Nice to see that the spirit of reckless adventure is still alive in kids. As ever, it sucks for the grownup first responders who have to rescue them when things go wrong.

Are these kids part of some sort of club for losers?

I remember exploring the storm drains of our town when I was growing up. That was a lot of fun. A lot of muskrats, too!

That’s what happens when you don’t have a mapper in the party.

Same here, although we didn’t have muskrats, just a surprising number of shopping carts!

I hope these kids have learned a valuable lesson…. about marking your way back as you go. :grimacing:

At least they didn’t come out horribly mutated.

It’s not the molepeople you have to worry about, it’s the CHUDS.

And forget breadcrumbs. The mutants just regard them as appetizers.

At least one has been sent to Congress.

Exactly. They widened the road and put in new storm sewers right next to my house when I was about 6 or 7, so it was both an excellent and (sufficiently) sanitary adventure.

I think their trek might have been more successful had they gone exploring in post-apocalyptic France…
