One of the lemmings is wearing glasses. The betterto see where he’s going to fall.

they’re ALL wearin’ jumpsuits

Which makes the more comically dangerous merchandise, Ace or Acme?

Not meaning to be a spoilsport by stating the obvious, but not only is this a misconception, it’s one that had Disney’s peculiar sponsorship (twice):http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LemmingI had no idea lemmings were such colorful characters (literally).

OK..What are they doing, committing suicide?

Herman’s not to bright after all.

hmmm interesting.

Three lemmings have shaded faces on their backs. Starting in the front of our ’toon, the guy next to the “jump suit” has a lion face, then the one in front of him, and the one in front of him. Took a while to see them. Our clever Thom wants us to work at it today! :))))

The one lemming with the inner tube, a nod to the Far Side?

“He could have got a para jump suits.”

Or one jump suit with two para pants?

So, why do lemmings jump off the cliff anyway?

I also see a couple of profiles in the clouds. Which is just wrong—we’re not supposed to be profiling people.

I think it’s time to hit the nuc button on this game of lemmings.

His education came to an abrupt end…

If no one lives to explain the significance of the jump, how do they know this is expected of them? Sounds a lot like the rest of the planet right now ….

Doc, the moms ask, “If all your friends didn’t jump off the cliff, would you just stand there too?”
