Animal Crackers by Mike Osbun for August 22, 2024

I’m afraid you have no choice about that

Stay little and cute, Louis.

That just might work here in cartoon land ;-)

That’s what I reply every time they ask me if I want a manager position.

Heavy is the head who wears the crown

Wise beyond his years!!!!!

Keep that attitude throughout your life kiddo and you’ll never grow old no matter your physical age and be much happier for it.

Uneasy is the butt that bears the boss.

Heavy lies the head that wears the crown!

What a prince of a fellow.

Which I would have realized that when I was a young lion.

In these awful times it makes one want to crawl back in their mother’s womb…those of us who were fortunate enough to have parents that didn’t abort babies.

Oh little fellow…. you are wise…. you are in your golden years: free to play and with the love and care of your family around you and you only have to worry about getting a time out if you are naughty, which happens sometimes but not too often. Unfortunately time cannot be stopped, you will one day become a young Lion and eventually you’ll take over as King of the Beasts and have to assume all that comes with the title, and you’ll have your own little one also who will be thinking the same thing… and so on….

Mufasa to Simba…….
