Strange Brew by John Deering for February 19, 2025

Nuts & “volts”.

He won’t say anything because his hands are …. “tied!!!”

o_O

I don’t like mimes either, but isn’t this a rather harsh punishment for the offense?

Well, at least he wasn’t a stoolie!!!

The police interrogator said they had ways of making him talk; it turns out they didn’t.

And what was the mime’s crimes? Stealing dimes? Or all else that rhymes?

He wasn’t a mime when he was convicted. All those years in ‘The Box’ transformed him.

Maybe he’ll do his “electric chair” skit.

When he was first arrested they told him he had the right to remain silent, so he converted to mimeism.

He should have been released on Mime Served.

Any first words?

“Vetinari banned all mime performances from Ankh-Morpork shortly after taking power. Mimes who violate the ban usually find themselves trying to climb invisible ladders out of Vetinari’s scorpion pit whilst reading a sign saying ‘learn the words.’”- Discword, Terry Pratchett, whom I will quote whenever I see a mime.

A mime is a terrible thing to waste.

A typical representative of the profession.

When they threw the switch, his expression became the inspiration for the painting The Scream.

So when the current runs its course, will it be silent too?

Not much longer.

A waste of a good mime. :)

“Yeah. He will have to sign for that.”

Marcel Marceau long!

“Caaaastigate bad mimes, COME ON!”

“Ow!”

Light him up! See if he can spark quietly.
