dude, looks like something straight out of a genetics lab!

Great for those hump days

The Humphrey Coat.

What hump?

It’s a Bactrian coat… 100%

I thought they smelled bad . . . . . on the outside!

Did he walk a mile for that coat?

Quasi? … izzat you?

I didn’t recognize you with the extra hump… nice touch!

At least he’ll be in great position for a headwind.

Guaranteed to get humped.

Is he applying for a Humpty Dumpty job?

This sketch could use a tune up! How about ‘Camel Island’ by jazz master David Sanborn?

Did the coat come with the humps?

Or are the humps his? (Did he come with the humps?)

Or both? — A coat to fit the back of a Bactrian man?

Perfect for the Hunchback or Notre Dame?

Igor- What hump?

He hurt his Bactrian to see himself in the mirror.

Would you like one hump or two?

Good idea, Mr. McPherson, get these out of your system before the new year starts!

African or Asian variety?

Soooo, does this come with a special hanger? OY

The best part is you don’t even need to carry a water bottle any more.

He can always use it as camelflage.

Does this coat make my humps look fat?

great for giving piggyback rides!… (or, camelback rides, perhaps??)

Bleeb is singing “See Hakeem, see Hakeem, see Hakeem!!!!!!!!!!!” :)

On sale every Wednesday.

And you are ready to annoy people on hump day.

You don’t say!

Do you have one made of Tom Sellek hair??

Give him electric boots and a mohair suit to go with that coat.

He had a hunch… actually, two…

He’s wearing it backwards.

You can last through hours of meetings and not need anything to drink. And no need for potty breaks, you’ve already done it.

“Does this coat make me look like I’m retaining water?”

“Oh, don’t be such a dromedary-queen!”

Ooh ooh guess what day it is?….nuts never mind it’s Monday

I hope that the matching pants aren’t made from the camel’s feet.
