Clay Bennett for February 04, 2024

Exactly.

Do not taunt Happy Fun Ball.

Clay might also have drawn some kids with a pack of cigarettes. Many smokers first became addicted when quite young.

And they’re just as boring as Lawn Darts.

As a kid, I accidentally stabbed my thigh with a yard dart during a toss. My parents promptly tossed the game into the garbage. I fussed about how I could play safely now that I had first hand knowledge of the risks. My parents said they were ashamed of not realizing the inherent danger for children from the game, and their lack of supervision. They said some things you need time to grow up to be able to deal with the hazards of life.

So what are our non-collaborative “representatives” in Congress doing to eliminate the hazards to children - that are as dangerous as darts - on the mostly unregulated internet?

Tell me again how voting for those with big mouths and tiny brains works to our advantage.

This toon is a cross between Norman Rockwell and something out of the Watchtower.

Ugh!

Which is why I only posted fun artworks I make on my FB and IG accounts.

Or you could do what I did: sold my kids and kept my darts.

Still have a set. Used to have everyone on the same side when throwing them. No casualties that way.

My brother and I came awfully close to killing each other with those things – hard to believe they were ever considered a good idea. Very much like most of social media (this site being totally different, of course).

If the Truth is (stil) Out There — it sure ain’t where most people are lookin’ these days.

[apologies to X-Files-ians, et al]

I miss lawn darts.

Ahhhh, Jarts. We played that game and none of us poked anyone’s eye out.

@Clay: Please do a ‘strip on Taylor Swift’s potential influence on the election.

Google: How much influence does Taylor swift have on the election

“Roughly 3 in 10 Americans under 35 said they’d be more likely to vote for a candidate backed by Swift. Only 4 percent of Americans 65 and older said they’d be swayed by a Swift endorsement.”

Those lawn darts were killed off by the lawyers twenty years ago! I am honestly surprised that lawyers haven’t killed horseshoes too. But then where would the deep pockets be found?

I remember lawn darts!

Oh no, social media kills kids! Let’s assemble the CEO’s and demand action! Oh no, guns kill kids! Let’s teach them how to duck!

Funny how lawn darts became a national hazzard.. yet guns, fun stuff.

The heck with store-bought weapons, we made our own! Bows, arrows, and spears, we were ready for war! We had to rethink our “play time” after one of the spears caught my brother in the back of his foot, darn close to the tendon. This was 55 years ago, but we all remember it. I think we scared ourselves silly.

who couldn’t get out of the way of a lawn dart you can’t fix stupid

Gee, who thought that throwing a pointed object into the air above you was dangerous? What next BB rifles, guns?

If it weren’t for TikTok and Instagram, we wouldn’t have front-row seats to the perpetrators of a genocide showing off their crimes against humanity, so it’s not all bad….

There are reasons why the unofficial Air Force nickname for the F-16 is the Lawn Dart.

Toy guns were a big part of childhood when I was a child. I grew up in Iowa, but caps were eventually legalized while I was still young enough to enjoy them. I had a BB rifle too. I killed a few birds and one rabbit with it. Somehow failed to put an eye out.

Lawn Darts are a perfect example of our Nanny State, they do exactly what they were made for, yet they get blamed for operator error. Like Ar-15’s, they don’t attack anyone yet Gavins & Karens blame the toy not their kids.

Yes, there were injuries but the “darts” in this picture – TikTok, FB, Instagram, Twitter, etc, etc are much more dangerous . . . deadly even.
