Mother Goose and Grimm by Mike Peters for December 20, 2023

Must smell pretty ripe by now!!

I thought it would be flat as a pancake.

When I wrap my otter roadkill, I first wrap it in plastic wrap. Then I put it in a box and wrap the box. [If I can’t deliver and present it right away, I’ll put it in the fridge until I can.]

“Grimm, I ‘otter’ kill you for bringing that in the house.”

Wrap it? I thought he would just roll in it!

No, and I don’t plan to either.

WHAT EVEN?! Who in their right mind would want a smelly rotten carcass from Christmas?!

It should fit nicely in a pizza box.

That’s why I always use Christmas bags…

Roadkill armadillos are even harder to wrap. You almost have to use a box.

I don’t think Mother Goose would want otter roadkill for Christmas, Grimm.

I am otterly opposed to the prospect.

If it’s for her, Grimm’s dumber and less courteous than I thought.

Different mustellid, but reminded of the time Ellie Mae heard Mrs.Drysdale say she wanted a full link mink for Christmas. The one she got her must have been a full 18" from the tip of its tail to its twitchy nose.

Box it up first. That way nothing will get lost if it falls off.

It’s otterly impossumable.

Otterly ridiculous. Also – otters don’t drive. At least – they otter not.

Haha! (＾▽＾) Wonder who that’s for!
