Quite the trap there, guys!

Good Morning Thom and All

We’ve got trouble, Lewreader!

Face in the blue rock, one in the mountain range on the right.

The longer I look at the tree the more faces I see!!!! (at least seven)

That looks like an over-sized possum.

A stone mousetrap??

If they were grown from plants, it’s no wonder there’s so many of em.

LUVH8 Do you think I’m crazy? I saw LONEWOLF’S stones, but I refuse to look at the tree. My dividend checks don’t come in till the 23rd, and Dr Nutcase is demanding cash in advance .I miss Blue Cross..

Are you sure the Woolly Mouse is extinct? One of my cats looks like Sylvester seeing a kangaroo..

The secret to not finding faces is not to stare at it more than 5 seconds.

Grog, I think you’re on to something. I see a face in the nose of Grog on your avatar! Oh, no!

Faces, faces EVERYWHERE!!!!

I told you not to stare, ♠Lonewolf♠

Great, I knew I shouldn’t have come back. I just saw MORE faces in the tree!

Are they gonna eat that?

The caveman on the extreme right has a face on the back of his garment.

Face up to it - you’re just seeing things, Carmy.

I know that in the context of this comic, the following question, practical as it may seem, means little or nothing, but I have to ask it anyway.

How did they SET that trap without getting killed themselves?

Faces, faces, I see faces. Lalalala.

Another question, in light of the saying, “The early bird may get the worm, but it’s the second mouse who gets the cheese”: what did they use to BAIT the trap, besides the question of setting it? And what sort of spring did they use?

I’m gonna sit over here and gibber until the faces go away.

Grog, take off your shades and take a better look.

I tried that once Bmonk…. they turn into a 3D image if you stick around awhile. Scared the bejeepers outta me.

Face in the skin on the guy’s back on the far right.

(and sorry to anyone who read it before I re-edited it to make sense)

Someone must have invented “the bigger mousetrap”.

Grog, :- P LaflnLarry sees it too!

And I don’t want what you guys are having, Carmy! Hallucinagens are not for me.

Hooboy! Did I discover that in the 60’s, Grog

Grog, come on, don’t be a party pooper! Everything is like totally groovy. Whoa! What was that?

♪♫I’ve got to be me….I’ve got to be drug-free…♪♫

But I will have a beer.

Grog, what’s the diff? The buzz is the same, but the beer makes you pee a lot.

OMG CARMY!!!* GIRLFRIEND, I am ROFLMAO!!!!!

Fellow Baby you’re just as bad! Now you two go sit in the corner, over there by that face, until you can behave!!

Dry, do I havta? Grog started it!!

Exactly what I was thinking! Guess we missed the first two terrors of the Fire Swamp…

OK, independently of any of you nut cases out there ;) I see three faces, two in stone, one in the tree. Oh, and probably one more (skull-face) in the back of the second caveman’s garment.

If there are any more, I don’t want to know, lest I start losing my minds like a lot of the rest of you. My medical bills are high enough as it is. :P

Hi fellow feather-brains! I see stone faces and wood faces and a person in the mouse’s foot. Move over Carmy and Grog.

Thom, that’s one BIG mouse trap. How did they set it without killing themselves??

Face in the dirt between the cavemen and the

My mother told me not to play with some of you. Which ones?

I’m with you Johanan. But my bills are still high!

I wonder if Thom is reading any of this stuff tonight.

Birdbrainiacs Alert!

I guess I went a little overboard on the faces this time. I felt like I’ve been cheating you by not showing enough face, so…

Anyway, nobody seems to have picked up on the face in the tail (I have a penchant for irony, for what it’s worth).

Yes, Grog, I’m reading them now. :)

The trap has to be set very carefully by the strongest guys in the tribe.

Haven’t you all wondered why we never found any skeletons of the Giant Wooly Mouse? I’m wondering why the good Mr. Doty hasn’t written to tell me there is no evidence of such beasts or of men hunting them… but the day’s not over.

To all of you, I apologize for my late postings. Sometimes, my work days are so long, I can’t get my cartoon done until after the deadline (10PM Central Time) for the next day’s posting. Sometimes, I can’t seem to get it done before midnight Pacific Time! Sorry about that.

Once again, thank you all for reading this mousy cartoon!

Lew, get ready… your time is coming…

Thom

Thom, you’re the boss here. If the toon is late, we’ll just wait patiently. (Hey, I got my toon, thanks!) Lew, you’re gonna be famous!!!

Some just can’t let it go even though they say they do. No worries. You’re the best Thom.

Lewreader is definitely overdue! He is always here! Not just part time! Go, Lew!

Geez–I think I see a face on the rodent’s behind. Thanks for the fun, Thom!)
