They dumped you out there without your wheelchair so you can catch Lyme disease.

Lots of ticks this year (in Oregon).

Christina tick … Helga tock

As if she didn’t already have enough problems!

If she were down here in the south, she’d be covered in chiggers.

Eww, a tick David

Tick…Tick…Tick…

I’d like to check you for ticks

The cartoonist is showing off his skills here. Pretty good homage to Andrew Wyeth.

Takes some of the joy out of rolling in the grass.

Good eye.

The original in the Brandywine made me think that. “Did she lose her hairpin, necklace, house key?”

Get outta that grass!

We have flea and tick meds for dogs but not for people. However, the oral flea and tick med my vet sold me probably ended up killing my last 3 dogs. I changed this dog to the topical kind. Hopefully she will not die from seizures that will never stop and have to be put down. Getting a dog with seizures to the vet is not an easy thing alone in the middle of the night.

Wyeth not? Masterpiece. Classic. Bet you had fun with this one.

Andrew Wyeth. I saw the original in the Farmsworth Museum in Rockland, ME, along with a number of his other works as well as some by his dad, N.C. Wyeth and son, Jamie.

Perfect

What I fully expect from Bliss. The Wyeth fans are pleased.

Tick attack a toe!

You may say Wyeth? I say Wyeth not.

I really preferred N. C. to Andrew. It’s the regular entropy thing in generations of humans.

More likely chiggers, but those you don’t see until they do their damage.

Nice art! Viewing the original was kind of an emotional moment. Still not sure why.

This cartoonist is a great artist!

sounds like christina’s bugged about her world…

What is the meaning of this?

One of the best jokes ever!

And the point is….
