Rubes by Leigh Rubin for December 12, 2021

When I was a kid, I was taught how to capture a porcupine and use it for emergency field rations. And why you should never EVER mess with them otherwise…

The porcupine has a point

Because he full of junk food, diabetes, cancerous chemicals, chemical preservatives, and God knows what other sickening things. Nopes. Rather risks eating this piny pin pointed pork-u-pines.

reminds me of an episode of the red green show where there animal control officer had a forearm covered in quills. when asked he explained that a porcupine can’t throw it’s quills but a bear can throw a porcupine.

“One of these things just doesn’t belong here. Now it’s time to make him game.”

How dare you try to catch a porcupine.

All of these comments make up a certain Quiller memorandum.

When they’re done eating the human, they may need the porcupine to pick their teeth…

Because we taste yucky?

Prick or Pete

The “kid” has a lot of points.

Those bears need to get the terminology right.. they “pick” fruit and “maul” tourists. As to being ripe.. that always occurs a few days after the mauling.

The kid actually has thousands of points.

This cartoon certainly isn’t pointless.
