Mother Goose and Grimm by Mike Peters for November 30, 2023

Atilla has a point.

They don’t “carrot” all.

Carrots in the wild are not plentiful.

I’ve never seen a dead rabbit or hare on the highway.

I don’t know about carrots, but I’m pretty sure that eating acorns doesn’t improve the eyesight of squirrels.

They never saw it coming.

Maybe it all has to do with how the ones doing the driving can’t see all that well.

a roododo, it runs on it, fast than we can- Bigwig in Watership Down on exploring a road and explaining cars.

i’ll have to say, i’ve seen birds, ducks, turtles, dogs, cats, possums, armadillos, and squirrels hit on the road…can’t say i’ve ever seen a rabbit

No, NO, NO!

Not the BUNNIES!

The myth that carrots improved your eye sight was actually a British ruse.

“The Royal Air Force were able to repel the German fighters in part because of the development of a new, secret radar technology. The on-board Airborne Interception Radar (AI), first used by the RAF in 1939, had the ability to pinpoint enemy bombers before they reached the English Channel.” (Thank you Smithsonian Magazine!) But to hide this there was a massive campaign to attributing it to Carrots.

Personally I think there was a secondary reason – get people to eat better! Eat your carrots and see better! Eat your spinach and become strong! :)

Cause they were crossing the road to get to those carrots?

Those are the ones spilt out of the rabbit to market truck…

Good for the eyes, Grimmy; not so good for the feet.

Because real rabbits don’t eat carrots primarily.

…got a point there!

I don’t see dead rabbits. But I do see dead raccoons, deer and possums.

Actual rabbits don’t eat carrots as far as I know. That’s just a gag they started with Bugs Bunny. I would Vitamin A and other nutrients for helping vision would be found in what wild rabbits eat. So Attila may have a point.

Hare today, gone tomorrow!

Haha! (＾▽＾)
