Rubes by Leigh Rubin for July 12, 2020

Sadly you’ve learned that lesson way to late.

Failure is always an option.

“Relax, we can jump! I’ve got these umbrellas…got ’em from my friend, Wile E. Coyote…”

This would be where someone points out that the one guy only has to run faster than the other guy. Good luck with that.

This is why those guys are extinct now!!

Just don’t back up.

or a parachute……

Be nice to them, Manny. Maybe they’ll join the herd.

Turns out the world’s first recipients of the Darwin award was a tie.

Dumb and Dumbo

What’s the matter with you?

I can’t swim!

In that situation, “backup” is not a good plan.

“Quick! You distract him and I’ll go for help!”

Your backup plan is to hop up and down, those cliff edges always break off and you can ride it to the gorge below.

The lesson.. should be on elephant anatomy.. sticking your spear into his bony forehead only makes him mad.

Next time have a mouse in your pocket to release.

Looks like their backing-up plan didn’t work

Their backup plan is a bit thin.

You’ll just end up dropping it anyway.

Not to worry, cartoon characters always freeze in mid air.

Lots of space when hunting actually refers to lots of space for running, hiding, …

Each of you grab a tusk and hang on for dear life!

“I have a backup plan. Then plan is for the mastodon to BACK UP!”

As in a giant pterodactyl to swoop in at the last minute before you go splat on the pavement

A lesson too late for the learning.

Yeah. Backing up doesn’t look all that excellent at the moment. But… what if you TURN AROUND?
