Jason, you might want to find the identity of your real father. It can’t be this guy.

Might it be Mr. Ed?

Jason doesn’t need horse sense, he needs Norse sense.

“Norse is a demonym for Norsemen, a Medieval North Germanic ethnolinguistic group ancestral to modern Scandinavians, defined as speakers of Old Norse from about the 9th to the 13th centuries” (Wikipedia so I know its true.) Or is it nurse not norse? (OMG)

Uff da.

The “genius” Jason never heard of a dictionary?

Once in a while the big guy gets off a good one. :)

Of corse.

It is time to pull out this old joke.

A Greek college student got a summer job as a tour guide at the Parthenon. He noticed that every day there were four tall, blond haired, blue eyed men there.

He asked his boss about them and his boss replied, “Those are Sven, Olaf, Ragnar and Lars, the four Norsemen of the Acropolis.”

A Norse is someone who helps you when you are sick or injured.

Have you ever wondered why Mr. Ed and Johnny Cash sound the same?

Nice pun! I wonder how many people under the age of 65 will understand the references in this strip

They are just horsing around.

Mynd you, møøse bites Kan be pretti nasti…

I think he dropped his jawbone

Roger’s a dad. He’s allowed to make Dad jokes.

It’s fun to look at these classics TV shows and see appearances by unknowns before they made it big

Panel 4 had me GETE! Superb artwork!

Why oh why, when he wants to know something factual, would Jason go ask his dad?

Isn’t Jason a comic book reader? How could he not know about Thor? We’ve seen him in costume, even.

Always amusing to see a joke that was many years out of date when it was told, and the telling itself was many years ago.

A host is a host

From coast to coast

And no one will talk to host that’s close

Unless the host that isn’t close

Is busy hung or dead

From the old days of network computing

lot of people won’t get the reference, but there it is!

But no one could talk to the Norse, of course. Unless…
