The one-l lama, / He’s a priest. / The two-l llama, / He’s a beast. / And I will bet / A silk pajama / There isn’t any / Three-l lllama.*

— Ogden Nash

*-The author’s attention has been called to a type of conflagration known as a three-alarmer. Pooh.

I believe that “no hump camels” are referred to as “married”.

Very funny!

I remember an ancient strip in which Skyler’s test asked to name the three branches of government. His answer: “The lobbyists, the media, and the ACLU.”

good one kid!!!

I wonder what old Hubert Humphrey would think of that?

Hubert was no camel. Maybe part dinosaur.

Is it a pony?

Ugly horse?

“Humphrey the Camel” is a great novelty song from the Great Jack Blanchard and Misty Morgan. Let me tell you bout Humphrey the Camel amblin’ across the sands umm All the Nomads givin’ him a great big hand He’s a big ugly Mammal and he’s very very hairy All the Shieks know he’s a swinging Dromedary uhhuh oh yeah Talkin’ bout Humphrey the Camel In the middle of the night by the light of an Arab moon They say that you can see him stompin’ up and down the dunes He’s a big raunchy cat but he swings right along Groovin’ to the beat of a Nashville song uhhuh oh yeah Talkin’ bout Humphrey the Camel

I’d guess a humpless camel would be pretty lonely.

the cartoon is about camels you people really go offline

Slow day?

Can I get Bactrian to you on that?

A big coffin nail.

More like Humpfree, the camel… Here’s Jack Blanchard singing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X8n1RFG5Xk0

Sally the camel has no humps because Sally is a horse!

A camel without a hump is a llama. They are related enough to be able to breed. So you have the no-hump llama, the one hump dromedary and the two hump bactrian. All from the same family.

This should have been Wednesday’s comic.
