Dark Side of the Horse by Samson for December 27, 2023

He’s on his way to meet Little Red Riding Hood. Just ask Sam the Sham.

I’m guessing that counting wolves wouldn’t make you a bit sleepy.

And here I thought he was trying to wolf his sleep.

Speed counting. For speed sleeping.

Hello Ralph. Hello Fred.

I’m getting sheepy just reading this! Sorry… “sleepy” …

— and the wolf, embarrassed at not catching even one (or odd 1), slunk on…

Wolf went on a steak out, couldn’t even find a Ham. What a Turkey. He Sheepishly carried on….Sequel tomorrow night.

Motivation helps.

well, that’s what you get Horace for wolfing down that last cup of coffee…!

well, there goes his sleep… and the sheep unless they called in a bus or something to go fast.

I can always count on you for a funny strip, Horace.

So much for counting sheep.

Count these guys if you enjoy staying awake nights.

HA! I wonder I can’t sleep!

The wolf appears to be sauntering. Maybe he’s not after the sheep. Maybe he was going to try but then saw he wasn’t fast enough. Or maybe he’s taking the human approach: endurance over speed.

Sheeplechase.

Welcome to the hour of the wolf, Horace.

Oy! Nightmare!

A sheep farmer I know has no issue with wolves. Coyotes and feral dogs are the real menace. She also raises burros to watch the flocks. They can punt a coyo into the next county.
