Frazz by Jef Mallett for May 17, 2012

They don’t make great actors like Cagney anymore.

Renewed effort by Frazz tomorrow, when he explains why its french name is pisenlit!

Oddly enough, that’s not what the french call them . . .

Actually it should be Dent-de-lion not ‘Dente’, I guess we can forgive Jeff for the error.

I think it is very interesting!

Yep!

Just picture them all together in the old Gaulish village of Taraxacum.

I like the French, although they can be a pain in the bu-tox!

What not to like about French chicks? The guys look like weasels, though….

What would be so funny about the weeds lions and French in one place? I don’t get it…

I once had lions on my lawn. Dandy lions.

I was wondering how they got tooth of the lion out of it. You’re explanation would make more sense. But odd things happen in word origins. And I find it interesting enough to make a comment about them.

The petals have the shape of a feline’s canines (to let another worm out of the can).

The d#%%$@ things were brought over for FOOOOOD. Silly Europeans………

In Germany we call it Löwenzahn, which is similar to the french version. Seems to be a European thing.^^
