Reality Check by Dave Whamond for April 22, 2024

Pinocchio in Fargo.

Might be time to start wishing on that star! You might not have any strings, but you’ve still got that little wooden head!

When you get in trouble and you don’t know right from wrong, give a little whistle…

Nosey kid!

Don’t go feeling up the chipper.

He did now that he’s feeling mulch better.

What a coincidence!

I don’t think this is going to end well !

It’s just a nightmare, like the ones about woodpeckers.

Now…think of what happened to the brooms in Fantasia…. How many Pinocchios do you think will pop up????

No lie? You’ve come to just the right place. It must be your destiny.

Rephrase!

Aw yeah… gonna make me a buncha toothpicks!

Yikes! Talk about The daily grind.

Reminds me of a well know murder case in our area. Look up Richard Crafts.

Did I say “chipper”? I meant to say “totally intact as a very real boy”.

Wrong thing to say, Pinocchio!

That’s the brand new Fargo 6000 chipper.

Attention all nose monkeys. Clear the nostrils immediately. It snot safe here.

Uh oh. Pinnochio is about to suffer an industrial accident.

This guy’s always got a chip on his shoulder.

FYI, Dave … both Peter Pan AND Pinocchio entered the public domain early this year … I Gaggled it, so it must be true! But your Disney apology is a nice touch anyway because, you know … it’s Gaggle info …!

Marge Gunderson is never around when you need her … round belly and all.

The reminds me of that scene in Fargo!

and he’s still smiling…so far…

The effects are really good. I can’t see the strings on the “Pendleton” puppet.

Ha! No good can come from this!

RALPH!!!!!!!!!!!! Do Something!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

Well, let’s not go all to pieces over this.

Hopefully, he was lying

Oh, thanks for informing me. I thought it was an Acme chipper.

He was lying when he said that! Can’t you tell by the way his nose grew?!

In ya go, Nose-Boy!

Nooooooo…….

Get thee to a monastery with that machine, fella.

You’re supposed to chip monks!
