    With all his frustrating close encounters with his would-be meals – the ants – it’s nice to see him in a sweet relationship. Good job here!

    I know he was an anteater – but I didn’t know he was a GIANT anteater. The funny papers rarely give anything for scale.

    I recognize ‘phaga’ as eater. You can get pretty mean using this suffix on line in an argument. Like when calling someone a mucophage.

    I guess size does matter. She thinks the anteater is cute and Big!!

    The fossil record for the genus Myrmecophaga, which includes the giant anteater, dates back to the Early Miocene in South America, roughly 25 million years ago:

    When this strip first came out, you would have to go to an actual book to look that up. Can you imagine!
