Pcottraux's Weekly FReeptoon

And now the Dinklemeyer:

Time has not been too kind to this Dinklemeyer strip for some reason. As the years have gone by, it has become unrecognizably smudged. For this reason, coupled with my already bad handwriting, subtitles had to be provided this week.

I must ask for apologies to any vertically challenged people who may be out there reading this.

The whole “work puzzle” idea is sprung from the fact that often, on field trips, the tour guides will give you some stupid worksheet to do, or the teacher will make you take notes. Who wants to do book work on a field trip? We’re supposed to be having fun!

The real-life field trip on which this cartoon is based did in fact have an annoying work puzzle assigned to us by the tour guides. None of us actually did it. I remember a guy saying to me, “Come on…what are they going to do to us if we don’t do our puzzle?”

However, should you choose not to do the assigned work, there’s that feeling of having a little tiny annoying voice in your head saying YOU’RE SUPPOSED TO BE DOING YOUR PUZZLE!” So I came up with the idea of tiny little people (being either more tolerant or more politically correct, I don’t address them as the “M” word anymore), being assigned to each student to follow them around and harass them into working on their puzzles.

As last week, the real students who went on this field trip found this story to be hysterical.

Especially now, considering it's Back-to-school season.

Guy #1:
"Want to see a cartoon I drew?"

Guy #2:
"Sure."

Guy #1:
"See, the snowman is sitting in a car made of snow, and it won't crank, and he's saying, 'Darn it! The engine's frozen!' Ha ha...get it? Get it?"

Guy #2:
"Snowmen can't talk, first of all. But the car wouldn't start, because it's made of snow, and some sort of internal combustion is required. You can't have combustion from snow. No matter how you try it, it wouldn't work."

Guy #1:
"*Sigh...*"

Doing good, doing good. I would ask how you're doing, but I'll just read post 32. It's more efficient that way.

Hey Phil! Sorry I'm late. I had a 12 hour day and I'm at home on my laptop doing MORE work as we speak. I am so overwhelmed I could scream.
