Mother Goose and Grimm by Mike Peters for March 18, 2024

The original, in bronze, was lost/melted down centuries ago. The Romans loved it and had countless copies made in marble. While a bronze arm will easily hold the discus its a strain on a marble arm. Look at any version you see and the arm will be repaired. (The drawing doesn’t show the tree stump, magically attached to the hip, there to provide greater stability to a marble copy.)

Well, you started it when you shouted fetch!

Good thing he didn’t fetch the “stick.”

It wouldn’t throw very well, Grimmy.

I could see my dog doing that. When we get the frisbee out, she carries it and won’t let me touch it until she throws it at my feet so I can throw it for her. When she is done, she picks it up and we continue the walk.

That’s not the one you want to play catch with Grimm.

She just can’t take the darned dog anywhere!

It wasn’t attached? LOL

And what did you do with that fig leaf?

Yes, Grimm, do as Mother Goose says and put it back.

“You don’t need to discus much!” — Fifty Ways (to Leave the Louvre)

Inspiration for nude bowling!

Dang! A marble discus? He’s got jaws to make a Pit Bull jealous!

But it’s a dinner plate.
