The fact is, even an old and arthritic cheetah with no teeth could run me down. I'd rather not test out your theory of fighting one off if strong enough.<br /><br />I did notice, looking at the story again, that Zoro didn't have a name for his pet. He must've spent a lot of time training the animal and yet called it Cheetah?Pappyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01977289662431694607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31723906.post-15577397075392514662013-08-29T11:32:47.307-07:002013-08-29T11:32:47.307-07:00The Devil's Dagger is about as non-descript as...The Devil's Dagger is about as non-descript as you can get, they were really throwing any idea at the wall.<br /><br />The pet cheetah? You shouldn't hang a concept of what is basically a glorified side kick. At first I laughed at the panels where our villain fought off the cheetah and then the one where the cheetah held on -- by claws, I assume (!!!) to our hero's back -- but reading up a bit on cheetah's it actually might be possible. They can be small as adults (50lbs), have flat claws, and almost exclusively energy to run fast in a spurt. You probably could fight one off, if you were strong enough.<br /><br />And they say comics don't teach you anything!Brian Barneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15737535617796413548noreply@blogger.com
