    You were wrong, Dr. StrangeToon! That was hardly long at all!

    Maybe I can fill in where JAD fell short…

    “The Spanish word for ‘lawnmower’ is “el snickadero.’ If Yenny tried to use a lawnmower, her hideous and huge feet would probably get caught in the blades. Ruben Blades is a famous Hispanic singer. His feet are smaller than Yenny’s. If Yenny’s ginormous feet got cut off by the lawnmower, it would be an improvement.

    “In B.C., they have lawnmowers, even though cavemen lived thousands and thousands of years before lawnmowers were invented, and caves didn’t even have lawns. But B.C. uses anachronisms in a humorous manner and isn’t really supposed to illustrate what cavemen were like.

    “Yenny looks like the Fat Broad from the waist down, but like the Cute Chick from the waist up. But her feet are grotesque. What’s up with those feet, anyway?

    “Broom Hilda has a lawn mower, even though she lives in a forest. Nobody would really mow the lawn in a forest, but it’s done for humorous purposes. Broom Hilda’s forest is surrealistic. She wears undershorts that say ‘U.S.M.C.’ on them. That stands for United States Marine Corps. When I was in the Marines, I sometimes used a lawn mower.

    “Broom Hilda couldn’t really have been a Marine, because when she was young the Marines didn’t accept women. When Broom Hilda was young, there were actually no Marines, because Broom Hilda is 20,000 years old. But if the cartoonist said that Broom Hilda was in the Marines when she was young, that would be OK because the anachronism is used for humorous purposes. Or maybe it would be surreal. The Marines now recruit women, but if Yenny tried to join up she’d be rejected because of her disgusting oversized feet.

    “Salvador Dali was a surrealist painter, and he was from Spain. Spanish was his first language. He had normal-sized feet, but he had a big mustache. I don’t know what sort of lawn mower he used. If he had painted a lawn mower in the background of one of his paintings, it would have been surreal, particularly if it was one of his Crucifixion scenes. A lawn mower would have been an anachronism at a crucifixion scene, but it would have been surreal and for humorous purposes.

    “Yenny’s huge feet would be an anachronism if the fossil record showed that cavemen had abominably large feet, but since there aren’t any fossils like that, it makes no sense. It isn’t humorous at all, and it isn’t surreal, it’s just disgusting.

    “Children often read comic strips, and might accidentally see Yenny’s huge feet and be traumatized. When I was a boy, they didn’t show huge feet on the comics page where children might see them.”

    You are the most hilarious person ever… I seriously could not stop laughing after reading that… You’ve hit the nail right on the head…

    Don’t forget these other deleted comments he made too!

    “But of course you know that since Baldo is 15 going on 16 and Yenny (according to the official Yenny Lopez profile on Myspace she is 25 years old), between the two, it would be a lot better for him to mow lawns than going after an older woman with deformed hips and big floppy feet… ”

    “There was a time when I was in school when we had to use big floppy discs to save all of our work. I had a project dealing with an affinity of skinny, bony, stick women with absolutely no curves, and would save on these discs often. Yenny’s huge floppy feet would take up too much space to save on a floppy disc.”

    “and Sergio, I don’t know how much he’s used a lawnmower , but being near 40 years old, it’s appropriate to assume he is very experienced with lawn mowers and floppy discs, unlike Yenny and her humongous feet.”

    “Do you think Sergio was scared away because of Yenny’s feet? Last Halloween I went as a troll and scared tons of people away. Trolls are are wonderful creatures from Norse Mythology. In old Swedish law, “trolleri” was a particular kind of magic intended to do harm. Maybe trolls would be the ones who like Yenny’s huge hips and horrendously big feet.”

    “Yenny, big feet, according to myspace, 15 going on 16, Sergio, deformed hips, Baldo… blah blah blah…”

    French for lawnmower: coup de grace.

    You guys wish that there will have a “vaccum cleaner” mower to collect all those fallen leaves on the lawns instead of raking by hands to rake all those leaves.
