Dark Side of the Horse by Samson for January 07, 2024

This reminds me of the time SpongeBob tried breaking into his own house to continue the operations of his house party according to his specifications…except he didn’t get arrested for that, but for not inviting the police. Ah, what a classic episode, just like this comic is yet another classic episode of Samson doing his thing!

Guys, the horse isn’t on grass; just give him a test.

The “Shakespeare” gag deserves a milkshake, Samson. But, I would have to charge.

To be hated or not to be hated. Is that the question?

Alas poor Horace. We knew him well.

To so horribly slaughter the bard can get you barred. Behind bars, that is.

busted…

Well at least it ain’t em aliens going to beaming you up horsie.

Does “stay off the grass” also apply to the cop cars?

“Ain’t no time to hate.”

“Uncle John’s Band”, Grateful Dead

Thine lawkeepers are there to shoveth Horace away from yon field of oddly shaded green!

Please don’t eat the grass.

The irony! …on the bright side, you were important enough to get two police cars and a search light from a police helicopter. Soooo, you got that goin’ for ya!

Love the Shakespeare thing.

huh… the police worked fast. :J

C1 – well then, let’s look around to see if there is anyone else to hate…!

C2 – so you hate Shakespeare too then…?

C3 – guess we could add police to the list as well…

A fine mess you got yourself into, Horace! ☹️

serious point about current state of mind/affairs

Hey, you cops, the sign says “please”, not “or else!”

That must be one-heckuva low-crime area! 2 squad cars and a helicopter dedicated to one perp illegally walking on grass?

Please do not drive on the grass.

Re: the first panel; hear, hear! I will not tolerate intolerance!

Careful, the cops have glue guns. And they don’t care who’s feelings they hurt.

to paraphrase Caesar, all odes lead to bard

Luckily for Horace, he gets abducted by aliens right as the cops show up.

“I know there are people in the world who do not love their fellow human beings… and I Hate people like that!” — Tom Lehrer

Who’s driving the police cars? Are they being driven by more horses?
