At this point, I turned … Read the rest...

I have posted Dave Farley’s Dr. Fun cartoons before. They are scientific and literate, and frequently with rude undertones. I am a fan.
The cartoon I am reporting about today is within a toy store. A monster crustacean is terrorizing the store help who are busy chucking plastic dolls at the beast to drive him off. Their battle cry is “Throw another Barbie on the shrimp.”… Read the rest...

This is by Himie Koshevoy who has many other excellent puns in this collection.
The automobile has banned the horse from the highways of the continent, and no more so than from the mighty bridges across the great rivers, for the slow steed would create intolerable tie-ups if he were allowed into those slim bottlenecks.
None of this, of course, prevented a university fraternity deciding to force one of its pledges to drive a horse and buggy across a busy … Read the rest...

There was once an old, retired couple who, in the autumn of their years enjoyed a simple life. Mr. and Mrs. Green were very happy in their country cottage, George’s passion was his vegetable patch, while Martha’s was to cook what her beloved husband grew. A perfect situation.
