I realize this is just a cartoon, but with such a glaring error I can’t help but say something. Obviously, John doesn’t really know any ants personally - ants NEVER give their kids regular anglo-saxon names like “Bob” or “Robert”, or “John”, or “Richard”. I’ve known quite a few, and they’ve all had normal anty names, such as “Z”, or “Bala”, and others like “Barbatus”, “Azteca”, “Flik” or “Atta”. Not criticizing, John, just trying to help correct the inaccuracies. Please accept this in the spirit in which it was offered.
ushindi is correct. Actually, Bob’s original name was, in fact, “Z” But his therapist suggested he change it after
Mia Farrow left. Anyone? Eh? Anyone? ( cue sound of wind and
cricket chirping …)

I always enjoyed when I got the little plastic magnifying glass in my box of Cracker Jacks. Especially during the summer!

This has a “Far Side” feel to it. Or is that “Twilight Zone”? Whatever.

SpiritS is more like it. (Not that that’s a bad thing. I’m a spiritual person myself some days.)

Boy, you had to reach for THAT one, John - Woody and Mia (I would think Mia was the one more in need of a therapist, after the Soon-Yi thing).
BTW - been wanting to compliment you on those memorial sculptures at the Arkansas capitol. Great work - very impressive.

Funny you should mention the Soon-Yi thing, considering that Woody has thrown his support behind Roman Polanski…
