Snark It Up, FuzzBall!

I am just smitten with this Androcles/St. Jerome/Aesop twist in The Phantom! Yes, I say this unironically.

It doesn’t stop me from goofing around with it (or, at least, blaming CC’s Hogenmogen).

I’M taking full credit (well, not the drawing part) for this, though…

Gah! I’d already used this lullaby (in the part of the story where Kit is tending to the lioness after removing the electronic doodad in her neck)! Oh, well.  It all goes to show this strip is markedly improved by the presence of the Spirit Lioness:

I like much of what BMcE draws (mostly), I like less of what he thinks/writes, but dang, I love his cats! And while I’ve *enhanced* this strip, nothing is sweeter than the vet keeesing the kitty! Lovely.

All this speculation about the secrecy Rod Bassy and Catfish maintain! Sooner or later, there has to be an epiphany.

Unfortunately, I don’t think this is it…

But if there is, I’m sure it wouldn’t be as keen as this!

Yowza!

Honest to gosh, Rex was trying to justify Honey’s “drop the towel” routine as a stripper’s way of thanking people.  Seriously.  (I think June would’ve been tearing his nose off rather than getting all cutesy with him, if that were the case.)

I think the ‘fixed’ dialog is closer to the mark.

(After you admire the lovely illustration and coloring of this particular strip)

The sublime:

And the ridiculous:

I think it’s something like “city boy who knows lots of big words and absolutely nothing about animal husbandry (other than the term “animal husbandry” makes him giggle like an eight-year-old girl because is sounds dirty).”

Yep, farmers with a one-cow herd regularly pound upon it because it improves productivity tremendously.  Ask any cow.

While we’re at it, maybe we can ask any mermaid (like the one in Pibgorn), or better yet, any surly sundae…

And a special shout-out to a lot of good folks at The Comics Curmudgeon who know far, far more about animal production, animal science, animal health science, and animal cookies than BMcE could ever hope to.

Tiffany = Bad

Is that how it goes, Mr. Evans?  I swear, this would give my college Calculus class a run for its money!

Or, at least not as dumb as he looks!

…life returns to its normal wait for death for the residents of Charterstone.

We can only hope this new New York adventure for John Dill will be rewarding and exciting…IF HE LIVES TO SEE IT!!!

You know it.  I know it.  The ends of these storylines in Mary Worth go on for freakin‘ ever…

Oy.
