A rotten way to take him down a peg

Not what it was cracked up to be.

…at least it was only the wooden leg.

Colorful language.

More likely to be Woodboring worms.

Should make the next pegleg with redwood if available. My home is made of the stuff and termites won’t touch it. There are some other termite-resistant woods too.

Makes a change from woodpeckers…

It’s time to have a metallic one

Where I live it could be carpenter ants.

I would have expected dry rot to be more likely the cause.

Termites can be such a bore…

FACEPLANT !,

A different version of “the crack of dawn”…

Strangely, in all the years since the daily comics went color, I have never seen swear symbols colorized like that. I believe we are witnessing comics history, folks!

He doesn’t have a leg to stand on…

(¬_¬)

I suppose that is a fine example of having to reboot due to bugs in the hardware.

He’s been done in….

“@#!!Z$*” Universal translator can’t translate that? Must be a new type of Termite.

Should have kept that peg dry.

rust never sleeps… apparently neither do termites

More likely, old age spread. Welcome to the club.

Well, it was about time to whittle a new one anyway,

He should have got the No Termite Warranty

remember it’s # before @ except after $

I got up at the crack of dawn… then I figured it was my back.

That one got a literal guffaw out of me.

Better call Orkin!

Hahahahahahaha!
