That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for October 19, 2020

“You invited WHOM for dinner?!”

“Hey guys, what ya doing up there? Can I come up and play? I won’t eat ya, I promise.”

Hey guys, those look really good. Can I have one? huh?

“Mr. Squirrel, you have really good teeth, right? You’re like, an expert! There’s something wrong with one of my teeth. It’s the one in the back, on the lower right. can you come down and take a look? I’d really appreciate the opinion of someone as knowledgeable as you.”

“Did you just say you’ll huff and you’ll puff? Wrong story line, Fido. What a schmuck.”

The artwork in “Mutts” used to be much more lavishly done.”

He’s not worried; one wrong move by Mr. Fox and Clark becomes Supersquirrel!

“Darling, I’m not saying he’s not SMART – I’m saying he lacks EMOTIONAL intelligence !”

“You can’t outrun that fox.”

“No but I can outrun you.”

Stay very still and he’ll think we’re carvings and go away

Hey fox, why don’t you “pecan” someone your own size?

Sorry I couldn’t resist.

“I thought the fox was supposed to be in the hen house. Go figure. “

Stay still and he walnut get us.

Foxy Loxy couldn’t find Chicken Little, so maybe squirrel meat tastes like it.

First thought they were rabbits. Mighty long ears for squirrels.

Fox answers Fox Squirrel wanted ad; missed the squirrel part.

Remember, its ten points if you hit the nose, fifteen points if you hit the tail, and fifty points if you get the acorn in his ear!

5 minutes later Slick E. Fox was consulting his ACME catalog for a wearable rocket pack.

Where’s the Comic Censor enforcement team for that “Nuts” comment?

FOX: Hey! You two seen a bunch of guys in red jackets on horses with a pack of dogs? Probably blowing a horn?

“What does the fox say?”

“I’m tellin’ ya, Chip n’ Dale got nothin’ on us. We’ll have our own show, too, just wait.”

“I wonder if we can drive this fox as crazy as we did Mrs. Greenbottom’s dog?”

This squirrel tastes like sour grapes.

Historically, creatures that have made me feel something in my nuts have been human females; and for the most part they have been unwilling to help me address that feeling…

The deer in the background are taking bets. Donny is the only one betting on the fox.

In this mostly idyllic scene/ lurks a sinister presence vulpine/ and I’m warning you, friends/ that what Reynard intends/ you may find a trifle obscene.

vivaca fox looks for a table for dinner, she is sure the meat will be fresh.

“Welax – he’s only hunting wabbits !”

“Hello up there! I’m looking for Fox News - do you know where I can find it?”
