Off the Mark by Mark Parisi for April 10, 2019

It’s a pity when you have to.

I bearly have a tail too.

I posted this cartoon at a Facebook Group I am in called “Non-political Beyond the Far Side group”

The truth is kitty’s ancestor was a bit too slow crossing the road during the Isle of Man TT…..

Please, no Manx spreading.

Yeah, yeah, likely story….you probably lost it in a CAT fight, no doubt….

Well I heard that the ancestors were a cat and a rabbit… I know, it’s a hare-brained theory.

OK – I get it. See, the cat is a breed known as a Manx and this really a type of pun with a play on the phrase "man-splaining " and….

I have three Manx cats and I always have to explain why they don’t have a tail. Fun times.

But please, don’t call me STUMPY!

Shirley not.

The Isle of Man is surrounded by water… lots of water. So wouldn’t that make it hyrdosplaining?
