Coming Soon đ At the beginning of April, youâll be
introduced to a brand-new GoComics! See more information here. Subscribers, check your
email for more details.
Slightly updated mobster version: âNo, Mugsy, Iâm your pal!â âItâs coitins for you Rocky, you understand? Coitins!! Here!!!â âOh, theyâre adorable!â (Mugsy? More like Bugs-y!)
That reminds me of my all time favorite âliteralistâ western cartoon, from the Far Side, in which a sheriff is looking at a pile of horses and people, saying âSo you just threw everything together? Matthews, a posse is something you have to organize!â >
Uhm, this is not really related to this strip but fits in with the âLiteralistsâ-part.
Last Saturday we visited Mölln together with Lori Dobson & her husband. The town is famous for Till Eulenspiegel, who died in Mölln in 1350. In the museum we tried to figure out how to describe what kind of jokes this jester used to do. One description from Wikipedia is: "In the chapbooks, Eulenspiegel is presented as a trickster who plays practical jokes on his contemporaries, exposing vices at every turn, greed and folly, hypocrisy and foolishness. As Peter Carels notes, âThe fulcrum of his wit in a large number of the tales is his literal interpretation of figurative language.â (Btw- the middle age buildings were far more interesting than the actual presentation in the two museum.)
Brandon grew up riding horsesâŠthey were the ones located outside the front door of the grocery store and you had to feed it quartersâŠunfortunately he always got his Keds stuck in the stirrupsâŠwhich explains his mental acuityâŠ

It still worked out, as it turned out that the horse thief got horribly motion sick.

Too much effort â just a long rope and a heavy noose at the end will do.

Apparently, it used to be called âThe Newgate Hornpipeâ. I think you can guess why.
