Brevity by Dan Thompson for April 10, 2012

Not nice, adding in salt to an injury.

No, no, Salty… that’s a broken arm.You add salt to a wound…For an injury you add insult.

Where’s he hiding the battery?

Varnes, you know I could answer that question, but I’d be in trouble.

He came in with Dr Pepper.

He looks like a French chef, so remarks about a hamster and elderberries are sure to follow.

OK, this is weird. The Houston Chronicle has this posted under Baldo, and not only that, but it’s a wide-format strip, not a single panel.Don’t know how long this link will be up, but here goes:http://www.chron.com/entertainment/comics-games/comic/Baldo/

I thought the expression was “Rubbing salt in his wounds.”

CRWEAVER wins the best comment for yesterday! Last one of the day and I had to go back to read it.

lmbfaooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

The Houston Chron goofed on which cartoon to link to the Baldo page, but as for the shape, several cartoonists now submit their work in both strip and single-panel format.I read somewhere that Wiley was first, with Non Sequitur, but these days, it’s good business to try not to be left out of the shrinking newspaper market just for producing a comic in the wrong shape. Take a look HERE at Universal’s website.

HA! Nice one. Sorry I missed it yesterday.

He broke his arm being as-salted.
