Dark Side of the Horse by Samson for October 22, 2018

Ask the ones that would add a drop to a full barrel.

Some people just happen to be uncivilized.

Because the Marlboro man turned us away.

how else you gonna break their backs?

And if they do, they better not be plastic straws these days.

One overused metaphor too many would break the camel’s back!

I would back the camel making a break for it.

Must be a huge, I mean enormous, pile of light straws, if it breaks camel’s back. Though I’ve never seen camels carrying piles of straws at all. Is there straws in deserts?

Why would they put a cart before a horse, either?

Especially since they’d keep rolling off.

We still keep doing harm to each other so only partially civilized.

One of the hallmarks of “civilization” is defining “civilization” to include those doing the defining.

I question the 2nd panel, but perhaps Horace lives in Finland.

Isn’t “Piling Straws on the Camel’s Back” going to be the president’s re-election campaign slogan?
