Close to Home by John McPherson for August 15, 2020

Well it’s not winter yet. This is what happens when you go to sleep in the summer.

Pretty sure Gary Larson did this gag in The Far Side quite some time ago … but it’s still funny.

I hope his family members don’t die of EM-BEAR-ASSMENT at their mistake.;D

If you’ve been hibernating until August, you might want to see your doctor. You may have been closer to death than you think.

Good thing they didn’t have him cremated.

Ran out of ideas? Just copy The Far Side.

It freaked out his whole family. I don’t think they enjoyed the “GO”.

The family is is upset they do not get his inheritance just yet.

I think that is one of the reasons the hibernation gene sort of disappeared in the human gene pool. Darwin may have won that one.

I’ve been hibernating since March! We call it social distancing today.

Another few hours and that could’ve gone horribly wrong…

wishful thinking

This is an old Gary Larson joke.

And here I thought bears hibernated in caves. Silly me!

“Dang it, Mildred! I told you he didn’t stink enough to be dead! He was just stinkin’ the normal amount! Where’d you think that term: “smells worse than a dead bear” came from!?”

Looks like Bleeb thinks bears are even more fun than people.

“And tell the pallBEARers we don’t need ‘em!”

I’m pretty sure Larsen did this joke too.

just be thankful it was not Goldilocks, and this coffin is … just right

Consider this your wake-up call.

Don’t let Gent see this. It might upset him…

Must’ve been a deep sleep
