Welcome Ladies and Germs !

Via Duck?

Served with Animal Crackers

No duck soup until you say the magic word!

Guess this was drawn before the debt ceiling agreement and in anticipation of a lack thereof. Question is who would play Mrs. Teasdale.

At least he doesn’t have a cephalopod in his pajamas.

Yet.

This will be lost on a lot of younger folk

I guess there’s no chance of Lio saying the secret word, though

Why a duck? Because chickens can’t swim!

Wait a minute … he’s not a duck.

The Captain should eat more fiber, what with his weak-end and all…

It’s in every contract, it’s the sanity clause…

Duck Soup was the Marx Brothers pretty much forewarning the world about Hitler. The movie showed the lengths that people would go to to rule the world, even if it was Fredonia vs. Sylvania. The ending was as anti-war as could possibly be.

One of my favorites…..

I don’t get it. can someone explain it?

What no Animal Crackers?

Did he give him $50?

“Say the secret word and win $100”

“Because Chico needed the money” (hoping someone here gets it).

I expected it from the first panel.

Now, that’s the most ridiculous comic strip I ever saw! d;o)

“You’re fighting for this woman’s honor – which is probably more than she ever did.”

Gazpacho Marx

Lio said the Secret Word.

X Marx the spot!

Back when movies were witty and funny and didn’t have numbers associated with them. Too bad most younger viewers today are only interested in the most recent offerings rather than the classics.

Now I want to watch that movie again; which box of DVDs is it in?

With a side of Horse Feathers.

ah … Horse feathers!!!

[sings] Thanks for the memories…

A nice tribute to classic comedy and a truly great comedian, unlike some of the rubbish today
