Dark Side of the Horse by Samson for April 14, 2015

Not sure if I get this….something must be lost in translation.

I don’t understand it…

Well, for one thing, stop sign hands clearly do NOT like eating worms…..

With no lower teeth, how does that mouth avoid injury from those scary upper teeth?++, just for seeing a mouth in the outline of a hand!

I guess sign language isn’t universal.:It’s actually a pretty good gag, Samson, and it might do even better as an animation.

It even has two tiny eyes at the top.

Lessee—- the hand is actually a big mouth; the bird drops the worm into it, it gets tasted, and disliked. Maybe the bird thought it was dropping food into its baby’s mouth. Farfetched, I know…

I liked today’s strip… I read it each day for its weirdness, and just assumed some hand feeding was going on.

What? It’s a vicious octagon, a cousin to the infamous vicious circle!

I didn’t get the original, and had to read the postings of others to understand. But I sure did appreciate the second ’toon, showing poor Horace falling flat on his face! LOL!

Thanks for giving us two ’toons in one day!!! Samuli is the greatest…

You could title this particular strip ‘read between the lines’
