Strange Brew by John Deering for January 17, 2016

So I herd.

Don’t let him buffalo you.

Lucky it wasn’t a dik-dik.

With crescent horns and a five-point star? It’s Gnu Sharif.

His name is Bill but they call him “Will da beast”

Looks like Mongo’s ride to me.

You’re not from around here are you stranger?

Oh. My. <big, deep sighhhhhhh>

Thank you, Captain Obvious!

So that’s the Gnu kid in town. Everybody loves him — he’s got that Gnu Sheriff smell.

I didn’t think animals could be elected sheriff, I guess that’s gnus to me!

Gnu is feeling welcomed after they “combed his area."

When he went home Mama Gnu told him that Junior Gnu had been naughty all day, and Papa Gnu should give him a good spanking.He said he was tired of always being the disciplinarian, and it was time she paddled her own Gnu.

Or, as Creedence famously sang:♪♫ I wanna Gnu….Have you ever seen Lorraine? ♪♫Comin’ down from Sunny D!

I’m gnu, so how do you do?
