Cornered by Mike Baldwin for October 01, 2023

Small: “Pikersville.” Large: Made & distributed by the “liver” of life.

Key theme for both: Disengagement.

Reply to the engagement ring salesman: “No thanks. You should keep it. When you are able to look at it and see someone who is not rude, let me know.”

The second one… not so much full of cholesterol (I don’t think bears have trouble digesting animal fat) but definitely full of toxins and plastic particles.

Berry picking? I thought you said Barry picking!

The guy in the first one could show that to coach Prime so he could see the “greatest” coach

The salesman has the wrong approach. Give him a drink. After DeBeers he’ll shell out big bucks for an overpriced, common, mineral.

A rude awakening for the not-so-smart shopper….

But it looks yummy compared to the berries….a lots of it….

You shouldn’t go grocery shopping on an empty stomach, either.

Looks like Wiley bears snuck into the second panel!

1 The snarky salesman is too funny. I bet if the guy robbed him he would be kinder to his next customer. 2. It turns out high cholesterol is really a good thing.

Small: “Funny, that’s what she said too”.

2: Aw c’mon, maybe just a little bite

Caption 2: This time, it’s personal!!

I can’t bear it! That is absolutely brilliant art! I had to pin that one (only the fourth I’ve pinned) I sit here staring at it, entranced! I don’t know what is going on but I’m fantastically entranced by the painting!! Thank you Mike! That is a masterwork, sorry I’ve got to stop myself from going on! The forest, the forest…

I finally got it! “see somethin really cheap” took a while, very funny, it had me wondering “what the heck” but it came through while I was typing the above…

Maybe convince the bears to eat food with less packaging?

Like what they say about BMW motorcycle riders: Ya know what the cheapest thing is on the bike? The rider.

I love absurdist humor. Good one Baldwin.
