Dark Side of the Horse by Samson for September 21, 2017

I found Opal’s (Pickles comic strip) K, it’s in Horace’s dream.

Is he trying to count sheep or calling for Superman?

Apparently not an elementary method of falling asleep…

Do horses dream of elemental sheep?

For periodic sleep.

Sleep, the little death, comes creeping in at 27.

Q: Why did Chlorine’s sisters Argon and Potassium lock her in the closet?

A: Because she was too attractive!

Elementary!

Better sleep through chemistry.

Henry Gwyn Jeffreys Moseley had sort of a horse face, in fact.

Chemist Horsie…
