Dark Side of the Horse by Samson for October 01, 2023

No, no, Horace; you should have taken it home and told anyone who was curious that it’s an old family heirloom. That way, you’d have the gold, and the forest would still be safe.

Excellent art and excellent sentiment, Samson.

You’re gold, Horace!

Horace may have tripped over it but he didn’t get tripped up by it.

Mining destroys the environment, but we wouldn‘t be able to see this cartoon without mining.

Gold? It is MINE! MINE! All MINE!!!

As the leaves get their fall colors, now is the time to collect goldleaf.

this comic is gold – nicely done.

Hoo ray for Horace!!

Oh great, now will be overrun by goldfish….!

((((((( GASP! )))))))

Neigh-ver destroy the land for $$$$

Put it in a pendant so Melonie can wear it.

Probably fool’s gold (pyrite) anyway…

More likely fool’s gold which tends to be shinier and more abundant. Still … good plan.

Beautifully drawn, and a wonderful sentiment. Good choice Horace!

He doesn’t want to end up like the town of Mirny in Siberia (“google” it).

I like the way you think, Horace.

It doesn’t get much better than this.

Nice, brief and trenchant comment on strip mining.

It’s really for the best. The speculators can keep gold prices artificially high and the forest will stay green.

You did the right thing, Horace.

Aw, I wanted to see Horace “strip”.
