Frazz by Jef Mallett for July 23, 2024

If that’s true, it’s worth knowing.

That could be worded better.

I truly missed something there ?

A mind-twister, like many of Mallett’s strips. They often give me mental excercise early in the day. Not that I am always looking for excercise.

A double negative becomes a positive.

scratch that!

If the ants that have trod across the Poison Ivy crawl over you. Do they leave the oil in their tracks? Teeny tiny itchy spots?

So they were okay with sitting in poison ivy until the ants arrived? Some people shouldn’t be allowed to wander outdoors without supervision.

Seems she’s suggesting that in avoiding ants, they set up in poison ivy.

Extreme heat seemed to have benefited both ants and moles. A month or 2 ago, our half acre was full of both for first time in years. Heat dried out the soil, and made digging easier. But recent weeks long monsoons seem to have reduced both populations. They may be back, but it won’t be easy.

Yeah. This one isn’t too clear.

Ants don’t care about poison ivy. Only humans react to it.

Why would creatures with exoskeletons (i.e. ants) care about poison ivy?

Deep Thoughts….
