Poncho: Sweet biscuits! This water is freezing!
Chazz: Oh, Poncho, quit making such a big fuss! Once you get in there you'll get used to it!
Poncho: Is that true?
Fish: Nah.
Calvin and Hobbes I believe once had this discussion until Hobbes cannon balled into the lake. “Brrrrrrr. Maybe you’re right,” he said. “Well, we’ll never know now, will we?!” roared Calvin.
I was going to comment that I thought this was hilarious, but I’ve reconsidered. The fish in the ‘toon might be related to a poster using the name ’tundrasea’ who suggested that I was stupid yesterday, and I wouldn’t want to say anything that ‘tundrasea’ might consider to be STOOPID
Dogs could care less about the temperature of the water. I went to the beach in winter with my dog. It was close to 0 degrees and the crazy pup was still running in and out of the water!
Happy Fathers Day. God Bless Our Fathers, Past and Present.-————*WDemBlk: thank you, my friend. My eye is about the same today. I’m hoping it will be back to normal in another few days.-————Have a splendid day my friends.
Starman, I am glad you can still read the comics with one good eye. Good thing Stel and Nighthawks have not figured out how to do 3D -yet. Get well soon!
Gilligan used this precise same joke in a 2005 daily strip, the primary difference being “Cripes!” instead of “Sweet Biscuits!” and the fish didn’t show a mouth (like the early goldfish in the bowl).

Note to self: Be sure to use the phrase “Sweet Biscuits” as an epitaph sometime today!

Where is Carmen? I’d like to see if she is still wearing her long-sleeved orange sweater.

For those of you wondering about Stel Bel, she posted on Cleo today. Go there and get a real groaner of a pun as well.

That goes for all of us. No fun reading a bunch of negativity.

On my tombstone I want this epithet-epitaph from R Crumb:
“Cripes! Phooey! Cancel my rumba lesson!”

@DennisinSeattle: thank you, my friend. Yes, indeed, 3D would not look good to me. Be well.

I love it when he hollers “Sweet Biscuits!” Better that than some of the things that fly out of my mouth! I was brought up better too!
