Off the Mark by Mark Parisi for March 02, 2022

From now on Parisi should only draw mimes.

Well, aliens out there will have a lot to process from our speech!!!

Looks like a mushroom or Jellyfish invasion attacking Earth.

Empty words.

Aliens parachuting down from outer space to take over the world. “Take me to your leader.” (Certainly, You can have them!!)

You can see them when it’s cold out.

That’s why there’s a helium shortage!!

Even your thoughts do more than a pennies worth of damage.

Maybe enough of them will dampen out the sun’s radiation effects being enhanced by CO2 and CH4….

Some words can be hurtful and harmful. But other words can be beneficial and healing. Words can be like Dr. Seuss’s fish where: Some are old. And some are new. … Some are sad. And some are glad. … And some are very very bad. … Why are they sad and glad and bad? I do not know. Go ask your dad.

ya think?

Hell-a-baloo.

Just another crackpot theory.

Greta Thunberg, where are you when we need you?

Is there no one here to prick these empty balloons?

So, it seems to me that the world would be a better place if everyone just shut-up.

This is more like how it would look if everyone in the world farted at once.

So… some of these balloons land in the oceans and turtles mistake them for jellyfish and eat them? My GOD, we’ve been putting words in Churchy La Femme’s mouth all this time…

Yeah, there seems to be a lot of word ballootion around the office recently….

It’s a known scientific fact that the atmosphere would improve if many people quit speaking. It would be crass to suggest they also cease breathing.

And all those talk balloons are made of carbon dioxide.

Random musings:

In this cartoon universe,

Does this cause global warming? Or global cooling? Does it depend on how many of the balloons are full of hot air?

If you find someone’s speech balloon, can DNA evidence identify who the speaker was? Can it then be used against them in court or other proceedings?

In this universe, watch what you say takes on a whole new meaning.

That’s a lot of hot air. No wonder we have global warming.

definitely the problem. Talking too much, listening, not so much.
