    If you’re awake enough to count out 60 beans, you probably don’t need the coffee.

    And here I thought chameleons, flounders, and point-arrow frogs were (roughly) the only animals that changed colors. Never thought of Siamese cats doing so.

    It’s just too bad he lived and died before M&Ms were invented.

    “We are Siamese if you please. We are Siamese if you don’t please. Our fur changes color with the temp. A fact from which we are not exempt.”

    Why would he count coffee beans while drinking a cup of coffee?

    Van Beethoven sure took the coffee high to wonderful heights. He was a workman when it came to composing. His " 9th Symphony in D minor" is widely considered to be the finest piece of western classical music ever written- and he composed it when he was almost stone-deaf. ( He NEVER heard his creation.)

    J. S. Bach also like a good cup of coffee, too!

    What is little known is that Beethoven also counted out 175 beans before he had a burrito.

    So he would have a cup a coffee as he counted beans?

    The “choke” seems too well known for this strip.

    Ludwig Van was a true coffee fan. Any barista worth his salt knows that all-around consistency is supremely important in order to achieve the perfect cup. This leads to the next question: How did he grind his 60 beans?

    The crime boss called Artie into his office and told him that he could pay his loan off by doing a job for the mob. All Artie would get paid is a dollar. The job was to kill the owner of the local market who wouldn’t pay the mob for protection.

    So Artie went to the market and cornered the owner in his office and strangled him. While he was strangling the owner, the owner’s secretary walked into the office.

    She tried to run, but Artie caught her at the door and strangled her too. On his way out the front door of the market, the police were waiting and caught him, and Artie confessed to everything.

    The next day, the local paper’s headline was, “Artie chokes two for a dollar at the local market.”
