your sensors are off – you need to calibrate

That poor ant won’t stop for miles.

Timing is everything.

Ant traps BC. They really miniaturized them since then

He should “erupt” every hour, like Old Faithful.

How did the anteater get in there?

The secret to good…

…Timing, that’s what it is!

…ant catching.

Gotta get it right!

Just back from night shift too…..

Premature zotulation.

There is an insect called the Ant Lion that uses this ambush predator tactic. Instead of a mount it has a conical shaped depression. Bugs fall in but they don’t climb back out.

A friend of mine had one in a jar as a “pet.” I don’t know how he kept it fed.

And what makes it worse is that he can warn his ant friends about the trap!

I had that same problem in college. Ba dum tssh!

Need to wait until it tickles your nose

Used to happen to me all the time. …sigh

Lead him a bit too much. Keep at it “eatanter”, you’ll get it right.

Premature zotting.

Clever move but missed! LOL

Home invasion!

Great idea, just don’t go so soon next time.

The artistry of the second panel is spectacular!

This reminds me of a sketch I saw Red Skelton and Vincent Price do on the Red Skelton show.Price: I’ll bet you I can answer my own question, but you can’t answer your own quesion.Skelton: You’re on. What’s your question?Price: How does a rabbit dig a hole without throwing out any dirt?Skelton: Okay, now answer your question.Price: He starts from the bottom and digs up.Skelton: How did he get to the bottom to begin with?Price: That’s your question; YOU answer it!

I like the last panel – the ant seems to be running home to change his little antpants.

Love child of Abbott & Desantis

lol clever

All in the timing, which reminds me of this Golden Oldie:

“Ask me the secret of my success.”

“Okay, what’s the secret — "

“Timing.”
