Scary Gary by Mark Buford for June 23, 2023

Nice homage

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Trip_to_the_Moon

Leo: “I was planning on A Trip to the Dark Side of the Moon.”

“Don’t make me come down there!”

It seems to have landed in Phil’s eye. Poor Phil.

Wait till the moon shines his light on Leo tonight…he’ll quarter and moon him….

I, too have had a “rocket” launch prematurely. It happens to the best of us, Leopold.

When the moon gets hit in the eye , like a big pizza pie , that’s Méliès.

Merde!!!

I see it grew with age

It’s all fun and games until someone gets an eye put out.

A neat tribute to Georges Méliés, whose short film, A Trip to the Moon, appeared in 1902. Leopold duplicates his feat, as it were….

(Note that he was also referred to in the Dick Tracy comic strip not too long ago.)
