Scary Gary by Mark Buford for November 01, 2023

And S—L—O—W

There’s at least one working, renovated guillotine in France, 40 kms from me…

I got a great idea for Halloween decorations for next year. Or maybe for Thanksgiving.

I wonder how many bungled head choppings there were when the guillotine was still in beta.

That would explain last night’s agonized screaming and crying and the sounds of begging for mercy.

Don’t lose your head over this.

Bite him, Gary!

The guillotine dropped but it stopped about a foot above the neck of the convicted royal. The people proclaimed, “The Lord has spoken, release him.”

The guillotine dropped again but once again it stopped about a foot above the neck of the nobleman. The people once again proclaimed, “The Lord has spoken, release him.”

They brought in the engineer. They started to put his head in the position. But the engineer refused saying he would not do it until they oiled that blade.

Let the good times roll, along with their heads…..

The victim blocks the safety eyes and it stopped working.

In this hectic, high speed, now now now world, it’s nice to see some still appreciate the slower pace. I’m giving it Four Screams on Yelp!

The mug has changed in panel two, and back again in panel three.

Leopold is really quite the little Do It Yourself-er!

Gary, do be more thoughtful about lowering your head there. You’re practically inviting a visit to Leopold’s New and Improved Guillotine!
