Does Teddy, by any chance, sell snake oil?

Well color me surprised. I would have thought zombie dogs sought dog brains, analogous to human zombies craving human brains. However, given the preferences for cat and squirrel brains, a yen for vacuum cleaner brains makes total sense.

Claude, good thing they did not have a hankering for moron brains. Especially that purplie one.

Stel, does this give you any ideas?

I learned that the part of the brain around the top of the spine is what we share with reptiles. It includes some very primitive survival instincts. Aggression, sex, etc. All the rest of the brain has many functions, but among them is directing and modifying these instincts in ways that are more sophisticated. That allows existing in a society.

Sadly, the reptile ancestor is still a stronger force for some of us.

There’s no known creature stupid enough to crave clod brains.

It’s a good thing they didn’t want dog brains and just went past Cleo. She would have been very upset.

Um…. hi all…..

…Whoo…. what a night, eh?

Reptiles to the left of us, zombies to the right…

And we’re… uh…. stuck in the middle, I guess…. posting comments on

it’s on Sherpa….

But watch out!

Especially if you have a vacuum cleaner brain….

I mean, besides the one in your vacuum cleaner.

Somehow that reminds me of a quote attributed to Stephen King… but he was quite admittedly quoting somebody else..

Loosely, cos it’s way too late to be googling things….

he said that he may write scary things…“but I actually have the heart of a small boy. I keep it in a jar on my desk….”

Anyhow, Nighthawks, you said the Halloween stuff would drive out the new strips for a while….

I know you have more faith in my memory than I do, but I may be about to dash it…. cos I don’t remember seeing this one before.

I really like it, so I’d think I wouldn’t have forgotten it….

and I apologise if I did. But is there a chance it’s new?

Meanwhile…. somebody show ol’ lizard eyes to the door…

tell him he can come back when he’s a teddy bear again.

Hey, Susan, I think this is a new one also. But knowing my brain and it’s memory functions, I don’t remember it at all. That’s why I survived the Zombie Dogs’ attack. They didn’t walk around saying ML brains!

(I kept waiting to see if Claude would find his “Do Not Touch” button to get rid of the zombie dogs!)

I am afraid I can’t think of anything clever to say!!! I am a bit of a zombie today!!!

Those Zombie dogs didn’t smell any brains when they walked by those two (sorry Cleo).

Hey! Where are their human(?) zombie owners! How irresponsible to not have their dogs on leashes. They could get hit by a car and…Oh, wait…
