The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for August 31, 2023

They’re quite civil. So far.

The giraffe’s “glass” is a nice touch.

One little autocorrect mistake and wildlife is changed forever.

One big improvement on human party conversation: nobody’s asking that awful question, “What do you do?”

“I heard she left him at the antler!”

So what’s gnu with you?

Veld done!

I love that the giraffe has a looooog neck bottle of beer

Croc and Zeeba getting along splendidly!

Animal mildlife.

All’s going well so far. Hopefully nobody has too much to drink or takes offense at anything said – they might resort to their animal instincts.

“You’re all invited to dinner in the Nosh Pit”

A good place to let your mane down

Zebra; “Hey!, later we are going to hOOfers”

Meanwhile, not far from here, there’s a fenced-off, protected area where humans are living.

Break time from predator / prey!

A place where everybody knows your mane

They’re civilized here, but it’s a jungle out there!

A typical Sub-Saharan mixer.

It’s a who’s zoo of the animal kingdom.

Vertical stripes make me look thinner. Horizontal ones make me look like a prison escapee. Alternatively, how to they hold their drinks without opposable, er, thumbs?

Not “conservation”, “conversation”. Love it!

One word. Plastics.

The leopard was talking about being a guest spot.

Now, this one is very clever indeed! I love it! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

when the primates host a get-together they always like to greet the guests with “welcome to the monkey house”…

Mr Giraffe has a “long-neck” bottle.
