Rubes by Leigh Rubin for April 15, 2023

An arrow escape.

Don’t like fighting in the shade?

You’ve got to survive this time, which looks unlikely, before there is a next time

somehow picking a fight with the “Flying Arrows” tribe is definitely not a good idea

Or bring a bigger, better equipped tribe.

Fight or flights.

I just noticed that comics characters always lean backwards when they’re running. Why is that? Is it funnier than leaning forward? Because you have to lean forward when you run in order to keep your balance. Try leaning backwards: You can’t do it.

If at first you don’t succeed, tribal warfare is not a good idea.

That isn’t what I said, we were drinking and I said pick your bottles…

The better adage would be “know thy enemy”.
