WuMo by Wulff & Morgenthaler for May 22, 2023

Mensa has been looking for you

The idea just swelled up on me.

From a visit to a petting zoo, Sherlock.

At least it’s not a stinging criticism.

I don’t know, not a clue, you?

I was helping collect some wood for a cookout at the river. I was in my swim suit, no shoes or t-shirt. While collecting some wood caught in low hanging tree limbs I must have stirred up a nest of ??? (Wasps, hornets, or other stinging critters) that came after me. Even though I was barefoot I ran like the wind towards the water on rocks. Unfortunately, it was too little too late. My back looked like this guys face.

None of your beesness!

Shouldn’t that book have a yellow jacket?

As a kid, I got stung by a wasp and my eye swelled shut. I used it as inspiration for a novel. Operation Blackflag (https://www.amazon.com/operation-BLACKFLAG-Richard-J-Kendrick/dp/0692520031), on the off chance anyone cares. To the cartoonist: get out of my head!

He turned lemons into lemonaide, typical of WASP’s…
