Dark Side of the Horse by Samson for March 07, 2021

What is the 6th step?

Nice catch, Horace! (And nice catch for us, too. Three ’toons in one…)

1,2,3,4,5,once I caught a five alive. 6,7,8,9,10 I didn’t let it go again.

Did he have it mounted by a taxidermist or a tax accountant?

Now Horace has his High FIVE! And he neigh-ver has to go fly fishing ever again!

That first frame sounds a bit like Bob Ross.

Of course, Bob Ross never met me.

Surrealist buffet for a Sunday morning! Need more coffee. 1-3 is clearly a memorial to Pac-Man ghosts. Panel 4 should be a non inspirational poster. The rest is a comment on the new disturbing trend of catching and mounting of whole numbers. Catch and release, people! There are only so many…we can count them…

Horace the horse needs to spend some time with Pokey, the orange rubber horse. ‘Now trying to catch horse flies in the Dead Sea… meet virtual NOBODY.’

That full body sheet mask would work well against a plague of flies or a peeking-Tom pandemic.

The subtle gag here, perhaps unintended, is that a $5 dollar bill may be referred to as a “fin”.

You should have seen the “1” that got away.

I needed a good laugh.

Of course Horace likes to take five.

First part reminds me of that beautiful “veiled dancer” sculpture that’s either ancient Greek or an 18th-century fake.
