Strange Brew by John Deering for February 10, 2025

Both have fire “aunts” as relatives.

WHAT is Colonel Mustard …… smoking in that pipe??!!!!

:-O

Huh! It was the Candle Stick all along!

Is that Lumière?

It’s gonna be a hot topic in a few moments.

It was murder.

Reminds me of Commander McBragg on The Rocky & Bullwinkle Show.

he does not have a clue

Candlestick! Holder doesn’t do the job

…what it was doing in my pajamas, we’ll never know.

In an alternate universe where the Helsinki Syndrome failed to break a curse, the underpaid house staff was eventually forced to take on second jobs to make ends meet.

One Thanksgiving we had the extended family over out house. My mom and my wife’s mom were at the kitchen table talking up a storm while peeling potatoes. In the process of waving her hands about, as my MIL was prone to do while talking, she accidentally poked my mom’s hand with the tip of her knife.

It was a small poke but my mom was on a blood thinner and she bled profusely.

We got the situation under control in a couple of minutes.

However we now have the family joke, “Violet, in the kitchen, with the knife.”

Is he related to Mean Mr. Mustard?

ROFLMAO

i thought it was commander mcbragg

Chair catching fire!

McBragg based on actor C. Aubry Smith!

He loves to wax nostalgic with candles.

One Canadian Thanksgiving a few years ago we were sitting down to dinner and one of our guests, a 12 year old male, was talking and waving his arms about. He was holding a drumstick in one hand and our Norwegian Forest cat, Odinsdottir, saw an opportuniy and took it. She scampered out of the dining room and upstairs into a bedroom and under the bed. By the time we found her she had taken a few bites and another member of the clowder was nom nom nomming away with her. This last year he was a guest again. He was very careful with his meal. He did not want a repeat of “Odinsdottir with the drumstick under the bed.” We all had a laugh about it. Except him.

He hasn’t got a clue.

Sorry, he would have said 20 yards. The English didn’t even start the switch to metric until 1965.

IN addition to Commander McBragg, maybe some J. Peterman as well. Both known for their outlandish ‘adventures’.

Hooray For Captain Spaulding /watch?v=b0LTZfytTII

I guess John didn’t want to explore what Miss Scarlet was doing…
