Frazz by Jef Mallett for August 19, 2018

Something about this strip stinks, but I can’t put my finger on it.

If I run over a skunk, I’m not getting out of the car

It’s better when he’s the only one there. He can get more work done.

You got your dead Beaver,and your dead Racoon,the blood and the gut’s are gonna make you swoon.Dead Skunk in the middle of the road,stinkin’ to high Heaven ;)

Hit two at once then parked beside open window at home. I moved it before herself got home but somethings just linger on

In 1966 the small town we lived in opened a new high school. The night before, my older brother and the rest of the football team snuck in and put a dead skunk in the air conditioner system (first air conditioned school in the town). Of course, class had to be cancelled for a week while thy aired out the school. Never did get caught…..

Why are skunks so slow-moving and indifferent about getting out of your way? Up until humans came along, no other creatures messed with them. Other critters saw those distinctive black-and-white stripes and steered clear. Of course, the creationists undoubtedly have some kind of explanation for this that involves “Uh, I dunno. God’s mysterious plan?”.

I quoted Loudon’s song the other day; didn’t know I just needed to wait.
