    Rocket surgery is a very exacting process, as is brain science.

    Raccoons are very clever. They can handle rocket surgery!

    He talks like Ricky from the Trailer Park Boys (although he looks more like Julian).

    The first best moment of the morning is that little pause between when I click the FA icon and when the cartoon pops up. Great anticipation.

    3hourtour: Maybe, but I don’t think the Pope “sleeps” in the woods.

    Bears are more catholic than Catholic, though the odd Pope or two has managed to cack his cathedra.

    I waited in line for 6 hours and 6 seconds to be in a Frog Applause comic strip.
    Turns out it was a line for a womens’ restroom.

    doctortoon - Ah, the rewards one gets while waiting in line.

    And for your information, that is neither tang nor carrot juice, but a whiskey sour.

    What the heck is rocket surgery?
    Sounds like a glorified term for NASA mechanics.

    “Rocket surgery” is a mixed metaphor coined by my Wordie.org friend Gary Rosenberg. Other examples (mostly by plight/aka bilby) include:
    Too many cooks gather no moss.
    Up a tree without a paddle.
    A stitch in time saves nine lives.
    Let’s drive off that bridge when we come to it.
