B.C. by Mastroianni and Hart for May 14, 2023

Let us know how that works out

Free advice is seldom worth what you pay for it.

Puff up your chest, look strong, and have some backup.

As the saying goes, there’s always a bigger fish. Or in this case, dinosaur.

Well at least purple dinosaurs are childishly friendly and just love to sing and play all day. B.C. will survive for another day.

“… Puff up your chest, look as strong as you can, then run like H….”

But only with the proper predator.

By all means, puff up your choice. It makes you look more appetizing.

Douthinkhesaurus……

Just be grateful that the cartoonist needs you back tomorrow.

I seriously doubt he can puff up enough for that one.

They say that cats have nine lives.

The characters in this strip? Unlimited!

There’s always someone tougher.

Now, let’s see how that works on mom? I bet it doesn’t.

PBS (Seattle) ran the 60s Pop, Rock pledge drive show last night featuring the Vogues and this song seems apropo today…

♫♪

There is someone walking behind you

Turn around, look at me

There is someone watching your footsteps

Turn around, look at me

♪♫

Mama’s home

Don’t turn around.

Mommieeeeeeeee

Oop’s!!!!! Yip yip yip yip yip

Even predators are prey for something. Okay B.C. pray.

There is always a bigger Predator, as humans go we are just not that scary.

Yeah, his chest was puffier than yours!!

That predator predates Thor…

An IRS analogy

Cavemen; you can’t eat just one.

I think this is the early version of “some days you get the bear and some days the bear gets you”.

Isn’t this a Jurassic Park gag?

Now turn around and do it again and see if it works!

No comment.

I was driving through Newfoundland once when I came over a rise and saw a moose standing in the middle of the road about halfway up the next hill. I did just what I was supposed to do and stopped a safe distance away. After a short time,the moose ambled off into the woods. I am pretty sure that my little Prius didn’t scare him away, but the semi coming up behind me.

He forgot to puff up his chest but the dino behind him didn’t.

not for long…

Up to a point…..

Now he just has to learn to distinguish the babies from the moms.

I think the cartoonist stole this one from the first Avatar movie when Jake Sully, threatened by a gigantic herbivorous titanothere, stands his ground. When the creature retreats, he has succeeded or so he thinks.

UH-OH!!
