Mother Goose and Grimm by Mike Peters for November 18, 2024

Nothin’s as lovin’ like something from the oven.

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.

I just googled Morticia’s Mortuary.

I think it’s in the constitution.

Prelude to hell.

I wonder what Gomez would say.

This proves that anyone can make an ash of you.

You kill ’em, we grill ’em.

Great pun!

It’s a very lame pun, but they look downright terrified. Hardly seems like the appropriate reaction.

Unless they really do just find the prospect of saying goodbye to each other that upsetting, in which case the lame pun undercuts the poignancy of the moment.

NO cremation for me. I told Mrs to pick one of two choices, or maybe even both of two choices. #1, compost me, #2 dump me off the side of some obscure mountain road.

I want to be mulched. “All come from dust and to dust all return.” Paraphrasing Solomon from Ecclesiastes.

it’s the only way ta go!

I did not know Morticia Addams was running a mortuary…

Is Wednesday helping her run the place?

Gives you a warm feeling all over.

Morticia never worked at a mortuary, to my knowledge…but Herman Munster did.
