Rubes by Leigh Rubin for June 29, 2023

It would appear that is edge is crumbling.

I don’t see that book helping much. Either he loses his grip or the edge breaks off.

If you hadn’t been reading that book, you would not have walked off the cliff!

Per the laws of cartoon physics, he will be fine unless he looks down.

The book is a real cliffhanger … and so is he.

Hang on Sloopy!

Drop the book and get a grip with both hands so you can pull yourself up, dummy!

Edgy humor

No biggie. What the cartoon doesn’t show is that it is only about a 12 foot drop. Broken ankle at worst.

“How not to get your fingers tired?”

Cliff hanger.

He needs “How to Pull Yourself Up (but not by your bootstraps)”.

The ending of this book is a real cliff hanger.

Shame he needs to turn the page for the conclusion

He should be reading the Acme catalog.

He likes to gorge himself with some good reading.

OK, for the next step, turn to page 563…

I’d say this cartoon was a real cliffhanger, but his name is Bob.

….an essay on ‘getting a grip’.

I couldn’t hang there for 30seconds

If he was a real cartoon, he wouldn’t have fallen until he looked down.

I think the end of that book is going to be a cliff-hanger.
