Your fault, you clean up.

Always wondered what daylights looked like

Where’s Hercules when you really need him?

A real horseperson’s aim is to not scare her horse. Ever

Growing up on a farm, my brother (age maybe 9 yo) bought 2 lambs because he wanted lambchops. Don’t remember all the details but I remember they stunk and I thinks my parents sold them and bought my my bro a lambchop…never heard anymore about lambs

Hey, it’s what horses do. Just be glad it’s a pygmy Clydesdale.

She had that coming to her.

Who got who?

It’s not a good idea to scare a horse when you’re right behind it.

“You scared the Shinola out of me!” (Yeah, I don’t know the difference between Shinola and the other stuff either.)

Odd that “daylights” comes out of the place "where the sun doesn’t shine "!

At least we got the straight poop on it. We’ll get called on the carpet about it. Aye, that’s the rug.

She’s lucky it was just the daylights.

Now let’s find out how good “Charmin” really is!

At least Danae had one moment of being childlike. Usually she is more interested in deconstructing something or someone.

You should. They’re on your bed.

Who knew daylights could pile so high

Feed them oats, or timothy hay, you gotta muck their stalls, either way.

Good thing it wasn’t “living daylights.” Then Lucy would have to go to the vet and get wormed.

I happened to step outside of my breezeway one day and unbeknownst to me the neighbors horse was right there and I got a swift kick in the ribs. Surprise! Luckily I was relaxed and the kick did no damage. Unpleasant surprise though. :-o

You do the boo, you clean the poo.

Panel Four she is channeling her inner Peter Lorre. Cool Beans! Afterthought… Many Millennials and NO Gen Z pant loads will have a Clue who Peter Lorre was.

Cue “The Big Payback” by James Brown.

I love Lucy :D

Actions have consequences.

Daylights , at least that was a nice way to call it : )

You cause it, you fix it/clean it up/pay for it

Quick! Somebody get Timothy Dalton and a Cello!

Ah yes, one good surprise deserves another.

I HATE it when someone scares me like that. They are laughing and I am thinking ‘JERK!” Just good passive-aggressive “fun.” For the jerk.

Daylights aside, isn’t it a bit weird to have a horse as a house pet?

Lots of folk may prefer “Rocky Mountain Oysters” too!

At least you didn’t scare the bejesus outta him. I mean, that would be a religious experience.

Pay back X 10.

Rerun — still funny.

Kind of like cow pies …

Way to go Lucy!

Just be glad she’s not a pig or an ape.

Sh#t happens. Literally in this case.

That sort of ‘joke’ can have dire consequences. I worked in a large Store between school years, (I was 17) and someone put a rubber spider on my shoulder when I wasn’t looking. I have quite a phobia about spiders, and I got hysterical when I glimpsed it out of the corner of my eye. Virtually no one came to my aid until someone knocked it off with a length of tubing. The lesson – 1. I came close to having a heart attack; 2. no one there knew about my phobia, but thought that it was a jolly jape to see me so afraid; 3. no one knew how my heart would stand such a terrifying situation. If it had turned out badly (I fainted, had a heart attach, or came down in a screaming heap) ‘they’ would be to blame, would have HR on their back, and maybe got fired. Practical jokes are only funny to the idiots who started it …

It’s very difficult to clean up Daylights without Hands.

A lesson best learned Young: “Practical Jokes” are neither.

Serves the little bratte right!

Just be glad you don’t have a pet cow or pig Danae. Even worse would be a goose or duck. (You learned quickly the proper way to carry a goose or duck or risk ruining the shirt you’re wearing.)

Yup…consequences of your actions.
