Frank and Ernest by Thaves for February 23, 2023

I’d be thinkin ’bout giving up that ketchup koat

I went to a Catholic for three months. Does that make me Catholic?

I asked my parish priest if giving up conjugal visits with my wife would be a proper lenten sacrifice. He said at my age it didn’t qualify.

Lent could be a time for some to recommit themselves to a strive for what they had resolved to do on New Year’s Day.

I’m giving up on that money I loaned Ernie.

Most people don’t make it that long.

I’m giving up Catholocism.

Can you give up giving up things for Lent for Lent?

New Years resolutions are made to be broken

I gave up giving up stuff for Lent.

and don’t relent on that Frank….!

I gave up Lent for Lent.

They never last this long anyway.

…and not just for this year either!

I gave up Lent. That just made it easier

As a kid I didn’t know the difference between Lent and lint. (Come to think of it, I’m not sure if I ever figured it out.)

The Season of Lent is the best time to borrow money.

Big deal, it’s not like you were following them anyway.

There is nothing wrong with that.

All very insulting and judgmental comments…..Ask yourself: “would I say this to a person; perhaps even a Catholic?”

Times up….your presumed answers: “yeah I’d tell those fish mongers of….Storm the bastille.”

Why do you people feel the need to be nasty? Go to the editorial cartoons.

Madeleine L‘Engle said that if something is worthy of giving it up for Lent, then it should just be given up permanently. And if it is not worth giving up, it’s not worth it for Lent.

For Lent I’m giving up rabbit.

I gave up being a millionaire for Lent.

Brilliant!
