Mental Dental

A collection of mothers and fathers sit in the waiting room at the dentists' office while their children have appointments.  Things a parent doesn't want to overhear at the dentist:  "Have you been chewing rocks in your sleep?"  "I did not know teeth could turn that color."  "Stop biting the X-ray machine!"  "Huh.  Does your mom know you're a vampire?"  "Say what?!?"

I actually overheard that first comment directed at some mystery patient during a dentist appointment.  I think it was a joke.  Probably.  Maybe.

Noah's Archive

Noah keeps a journal, which includes a log of all the animal-related games his children and grandchildren have invented, all of which were subsequently banned.  As he's writing today's entry, his family plays panda polo.  Day 14 - kids invented badger bowling  Day 15 - badger bowling banned  Day 16 - grandkids invented giraffe jousting  Day 17 - giraffe jousting banned  Day 18 - wife invents cassowary croquette  Day 19 - cassowary croquette banned  Day 20 - grandkids invent leopard lacrosse  Day 21 - leopard lacrosse banned  Day 22...

And they haven't even gotten through the first forty days yet, though I supposed it could be worse.  At least it's not "Pollo Polo."
Now, place your bets on how long it takes before someone comes up with "Cricket Cricket."

Fair Enough

Evil Queen:  Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all?  Magic Mirror:  You want to know who the palest person is?  Queen:  No, the most beautiful.  Mirror:  That's something different.  There's many places where dark skin is considered more attractive.  And then in some places-  Queen:  Just tell me who the most beautiful person is!  Mirror:  Snow White.  Queen:  And the fairest?  Mirror:  Snow White.  Queen:  ...and we just had this conversation why?  Mirror:  Sheesh, just send her to a tanning salon if it bothers you that much.

If you think you can ask an all-knowing magic mirror the exact same question every single day without it getting snarky, you're just kidding yourself.

Color will arrive at some point in the future, once I gain some of that mythical thing called "sleep."  Guess I need to eat more apples.

UPDATE:  There is now color, and while I don't know whether or not it is now considered fairer in comic terms, it's at least a lot prettier.

Zebrano Forte

Musical zebra with piano key stripes

I'm actually quite clueless as to the musicality level of zebras, but I'm too tired to research it right now.

Last Night of School

Young vampires celebrate Night School ending for the summer by carrying in a victim to snack on.  Teacher:  I don't care if it's the last night of school.  I just cleaned this place, and you're not going to eat that in here!  Students:  Awww!  Victim:  Thank you.

It's bad enough that merely glancing away will cause the chalkboard to recollect its prior mess. 

No matter how joyous the occasion, there's always that one teacher who ruins the fun.  Whether or not the fun deserves to be ruined is something we won't go into right now.
