Strange Brew by John Deering for October 11, 2021

Their most common mime is “Being Chased By A Lion.”

That is a good place for them.

Say it ain’t so, if you can!

Walking in the wind, going down steps and trapped in a box.

They don’t have to worry about lions eating them because a mine is a terrible thing to taste.

Someone had to say it.

Land mimes!

BBC America has a twelve part series on them.

Fractured movie phrases and songs…

Toto, I’ve a feeling we’re still in Africa.

Terry Pratchett, Discworld:

“He does have all street-theatre players and mime artists thrown into the scorpion pit.”

“True. But let’s not forget that he has his bad points too.”

They’ve almost been hunted to extinction with the blessing of all those with good taste.

Now if only they can convince the lions that they are safe inside of an invisible building…

I’d like to see the miming of “Oh, no, here comes a rushing lion. Will the invisible glass box stop him?”

Don’t mime him.

This looks more like a classic Gary Larson ‘Far Side’ strip today. A bit of a head scratcher.
