Drabble by Kevin Fagan for January 15, 2021

Norman is thicker than a brick milkshake.

Norman is one crayon shy of a full box but you gotta love how he protects his father like that.

The freezer might work; it would just take a while.

Freezer, oven, cupboards, breadbox, Norman should realize by now; Ralph’s goal is always gonna be the same.

Nice sort of strangle look in the third panel…

when going through menopause and lava hot flashes, i would stick my head in the freezer and tell my kids i was commiting slow suicide

And the oven is electric.

Dad told me, “there is a time every parent looks at their kid and thinks-this one’s going to need a lot of help.”

I’d say Norman’s head is in the right place; if only his brain would join the party.

Provides newer connotation to “brain freeze”.

Kevin, you’re not right! ;-)

Eating all those frozen treats is just a slower method of suicide.

There is STUPID than there is Norman……

Reminds me of Howard on the Bob Newhart show. When they were up against the wall being robbed and he runs in and puts his hands on the wall thinking that it is falling.

BRAIN FREEZE!

But… but… but… he was going to freeze himself to death!

It was funny but so stupid. ( I know- it’s Norman)

Well, he did save him from frostbite.

I’ve never heard of suicide by oven, unless it’s from my neighbour’s baking.

Dad. I want the popsicles.

In trying to save Ralph’s life, Norman almost chokes him to death.

That’s a good way to get brain freeze

And they probably have an electric stove too.

I worry about Fagan! I figure that something has to be wrong with the mind that comes up with stuff like this. How do you make Norm that stupid day after day???
