Open carry?

You are the salt of the earth….A little salt goes a long way, no matter how slow.

What if it falls over and some of it lands on him? Talk about a deadly weapon.

So happy to see a comic with a snail’s eyes drawn correctly! As shown snails have eyes at the end of eye stalks, so often their eyes are drawn on their body like a “face” and their eye stalks are drawn like antennae. (Of course the mouth isn’t right lol, it’s actually on the bottom and they have thousands of teeth, which you can hear them using as they crunch through lettuce and carrots and such)

Story time: I thought it might be fun to have a snail for a pet, so I brought home ONE snail (from the mountains surrounding my house) and set it up in a terrarium. I had read about what they liked to eat and how to set up a comfortable home for them but had somehow completely missed information on how they reproduced. Soon I noticed little white balls scattered about the terrarium. After doing more research I learned these were eggs and snails are hermaphrodites (a male and female snail isn’t needed for reproduction as each snail can be both!) Not long after the most adorable tiny little snails began popping up all over as they hatched from their eggs, smaller than a pencil eraser with a perfect miniature shell already formed. Within a few short months I had hundreds of them, they could easily (and noisily!) chomp through an entire head of lettuce a day! As I had no reason to be farming snails I had to return them all to their mountain home along with the original. I did leave them some heads of lettuce and a bunch of carrots (which they seemed to like even if they made their poo orange lol)

slowest shaker in the west

I can’t recall having seen the snails colorized before.

Me was seeing spaghetti western but this first time me see escargot western.

If Larry was a trendy hipster snail it would be pink Himalayan organic salt.

“A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the snail to keep and bear salt, shall not be infringed”.

The Good, the Bad, and the Salty…

I open or conceal carry everywhere I go. Try to stay out of gun free zones.

That visual…..should be enough……and it is half full!!!

just add butter , parsley and garlic .

A Permit that can kill you if it goes off by accident.

He’s headed for a saloon where he’s going to meet Doc and the gang

ever pour salt on a snail or slug?

Where’s the garlic butter? Mmmmm

Don’t ask him to shake his booty, it could be the death of you

And he looks just as ridiculous as most people who open carry.

One bump and he’s open-carried himself to death. What a metaphor.
