Sad but true, lemmings do not commit mass suicide. It’s a myth, but it’s remarkable how many people believe it. It all started with a Disney documentary in the ‘50s. In 1958 Walt Disney produced “White Wilderness,” part of the studio’s “True Life Adventure” series. “White Wilderness” featured a segment on lemmings, detailing their strange compulsion to commit mass suicide. The lemmings supposedly committing mass suicide by leaping into the ocean were actually thrown off a cliff by the Disney filmmakers. Lemmings are seen flying into the water. The final shot shows the sea awash with dying lemmings.
I am infuriated everytime I see that Myth exploited in the comics. It is long past due for cartoonists, to drop this disgusting plot and live up to the truth.

If life gives you lemurs, contribute to Lemur-Aid.

The Lemmings story is FAKE. Disney scammed us all with a fraudulent story.

It’s the Anti-Tromp message that’s the real point of this cartoon.
