Dark Side of the Horse by Samson for January 19, 2024

Part of the Over- caffeination Nation…

He hasn’t had a cup; he’s had a potful.

And that was the decaf!

Coffee for morning beer for night

Help you runs all day and then sleeps tight

So, it’s the coffee that makes the horses so skittish. Got it.

That and a “Red Bull” chaser, eh?!

I’m right there with ya, Horace!

Coffee means I can do stupid things faster and with more energy!

He could repurpose it as rocket fuel.

At least consider decaf, Horace.

judging by the third panel, it musta been Hills Brothers coffee….?

A racing horse!

I believe that some day caffeine will have to be made a controlled substance like alcohol. Consider the following scenario at a coffee bar played out between a customer and barista.

“Quick, another double expresso.”

“That’s your fourth.”

“Yeah. Who’s counting? Make it a triple.”

“Let me see your hands.”

(Quickly hiding hands behind back) “No. I’m cool, very cool, extremely cool … give me a double, now.”

“I cannot serve you unless you show me your hands.”

(Reluctantly presents one badly shaking hand.)

“Sorry, sir, but I’m going to have to cut you off. If I serve you when you are over the influence and you go and vibrate your car through a telephone pole, we would be legally liable.”

“Your loss. I know where I can find a street cart.” (Crying) I’m in control, I tell you. Why won’t this door open?"

(Kicks door and exits through cafe’s French doors)…

I’m just saying.

Expresso yourself, Horace!

A cuppa giiddyupandgojo.

Horace graduated from "Foal"gers to Maxwell Horse.
