    Would not the fish be defeated once someone opens the door and lets the water out?

    As for opening the door and letting the water out, it won’t happen. You open the door, go upstairs and fall into the water. Apparently they’ve already had someone, as water splashed onto the staircase, ran down it and out the door.

    Those that cannot comprehend what they read (all they can eat, not all you can eat) get thinned from the herd. If it were true a good chunk of the present day populace would be gone. Instead, they are still here, murdering grammar.

    40 % of small businesses fail within a year. In this case, the corner joint is failing almost every month.

    In terms of reading, comprehension, and the ability to express a coherent thought, the responses to cartoons are far more thoughtful and intelligent than the comments following most “news” stories.

    (ahem) Lewreader - WE posters ;-)

    coot31 - If I’m not mistaken, there should be a comma (I almost typed “coma”) after the word “thought” to allow that phrase to be a kind of introduction although more and more, commas are being eliminated. Even my husband the English professor eschews them when possible.

    What you say, though, is true!

    Don’t worry. In real life I’m not such a noodge. Only in comic world (or when I’m reading a poorly edited novel.)

    took a moment for the comprehension. More caffeine, please!

    Barbaratoo - I love the word eschew, but have givenup trying to say it. Where I live, I’m likely to get the response, “Bless you!”

    @Barbaratoo & coot31 - Coot31 did have a comma following “thought”, it is just hard to see as he used a comma chameleon by mistake.

    I agee wholeheartedly with coot31, the comments on this site are better written and more coherent than the comments on many news sites.

    Barbaratoo: Thank you! I fixed it. I had held a fifteen second internal debate before making the original post and decided it could go either way.

    I first saw this cartoon in black and white in my morning newspaper (yes, people still read newspapers). I thought the trickle coming from under the door was blood.

    I need this restaurant in my neighbourhood. In my riding for our civic election I have the choice between a convicted theif (stole money from a charity for which he was chairman ), or a loud-mouthed idiot. There are other candidates, however, their grammatical errors and poor spelling on each of their flyers was so atrocious I threw them in the re-cycling bin before reading.

    They’re cartoon FrankenFIsh- they can also fly- so don’t need water, better diets through genetic engineering- goes both ways.

    How many times has Wiley done one like this? Bears, lions, wolves?

    How ever many times he has, it still rocks! :)

    like the “going out FOR business” ads, people come in thinking they’re gonna get bargains at a “going out OF business” sale……

    **BARBARA Mea Culpa. Rushing to hear the words of Her Majesty, I left the proof reading to my agent and my editor. Heads will roll. Luckily, Gocomics is full of grammar Nazi.

    This must be a commentary on the genetically modified “Franken-Fish” Salmon that was recently in the news. Actually, a Fish dinner sounds pretty good… “Salmon-chanted evening…”

    I love the comments on Gocomics. You all out there

    have a wonderful sense of humor (for the most

    part) and it is easy to skip the trolls. Thanks lots!
