Frazz by Jef Mallett for May 16, 2013

Pedant mode on…the plural of moose is moose…pedant mode off.

Dang! I thought it was meeses!,,,,,I will go to Isle Royal some day,,,,,I deserve it,,,,Uh,,,,so wolves don’t bother the dude?,,,,,

And Jinxy hates those wall meeses to pieces. ;)

Uncle Emesis is my new hero.

my tendency on seeing the word emesis was to pronounce it eh MEE sis, which gives more depth to the use of mooses in the last panel. I find myself now very unsure of which vacation the kid actually wants.

Formerly known as The Isle of the Dead, back when copper mining was a popular pre-Columbian past-time.

Or, on a less formal sense, ride till you puke.

I thought Isle Royale was known more for the wolves?

I think I know where our next vacation is going to be! :D

Shouldn’t Aunt Enuresis get equal billing?

goose, geese  =>  moose, meese     or alternatively, noose, nooses => moose, mooses     Also, mouse, mice  =>  moose, mice(i.e., drop the third letter) The English language is everything but consistent !!
