Ships take the Welland Canal around Niagra Falls. Paddle didnt.
"Mother! Look! A little man! In a boat!" a child screamed. She stood with the usual crowd of people gathered this bright summer day in the beautiful Canadian park overlooking the falls. Everyone jumped and came running, just in time to see Paddle plunge over the green edge and drop down ... down ... down ...

( Artists note: You can just spot Paddle going over the falls roughly in the center of this panel. )
