Brevity by Dan Thompson for February 02, 2018

(throws rubber chickens)

Then he took some of it and put it on the Ritz.

I know some of you remember Dr. Frankenstein’s past experiments….

(In fact, one of them is standing right there, on the left.)

Why has he switched his focus to cheesy cooking experiments, instead of what seemed far grater work?

Well, money is tight these days, and it’s gotten too hard to dig up everything he would need…

The situation was grave.

First he was blue….. but when he considered Caerphilly,

he realised…. he could brie proud of making cheeses.

Everybody loves to Edam…..

they were especially Gouda if the cows ate grass you Gruyere self…

so he’s happily becoming a big wheel in cheese-making!

P.S. From yesterday….

@Bobbers…. hope you stop by.

Sorry I got here too late to answer your question about my writing “bl@@dy” …

GoComics does have rules about language, but enforcement is erratic….

Moderators seldom read forums; a few of the cartoonists do, but I’d say most don’t.

(That’s why comments to either in the forums are generally useless.)

But _ users_ can flag comments… then the mods read them.

We can’t see the flags… but they can get people banned for comments that seemed fine to the rest of us.

One friend was told she was temporarily banned, because people flagged a mild word that she DID substitute letters in… and it made no sense.

Other times quite offensive posts get ignored.

I didn’t really have to worry about bl@@dy.

It’s not at all offensive in the US, and it would surprise a lot of posters to find out that it’s naughty elsewhere.

But I, and a lot of others, also prefer not to offend….

So I chose to disguise it… and I usually only use grawlix (#@$%! etc) for any stronger language.

Oh great, another cheesy attempt at humor.

It’s alive…with flavor!

What, is this national pun day? That makes at least 3!

That cheese is toetally his own creation.
