The Far Side of Cake, Vol 13

The Far Side of Cake, Vol 13
Unfortunately for Carl, some things were NOT lost in translation.
*****
The cruel reality of display case bullying.
*****
The duo would go on to dominate the entertainment world with their act, but sibling rivalry - coupled with a crippling addiction to Visine - would eventually tear them apart.
*****
Finally, a cake that celebrates the ambiguity of emotion brought on by large groups being told to put our hands in the air.
"... now what?"
*****
Joke's on you, Harold.
*****
The beast can remain motionless for hours, unblinking, barely breathing, waiting and watching for the moment its owner puts a business call on speakerphone.
"Meanwhile, this year's fiscal revenue has increased by... Debbie, is someone being murdered in your apartment?!"
Thanks to Wendy F., E.H., Amy, Krystine M., Lynne V., & Kristine M. for the walk on the Far Side.

Penguin to the cake: "I've got my eye on you!"
Love these!!! And that last one is SOOOOO true!
Happy birthday Cake Wrecks!
That first one just gave me a horrible/hilarious idea for a cake...strawberry flavored, pink icing and little mice made out of strawberries and candy/chocolate on top!
That catphone beast is the stuff of nightmares. Why does it have spikes and claws at the end of it's tail?
Am I the only one who sees a schwang for catosaurasus nose?
Thank you, Jen. For keeping The Far Side alive.
#1 reminded me of an old novelty song - Love to eat them mousies, mousies what I love to eat, bite they tiny (forget that word), nibble on they tiny feet - wish I couldn't remember important stuff that well.
Hands in the air cake: My 5 yo says, “Those are crabs!” I can kind of see it.
Bite they little heads off,...
B. Kliban cartoon, 1975
I’m so excited to see two of my wrecks in one post! That I sent in 2 1/2 years apart!!!
(P.S. Kristine M. In your acknowledgments should be Krystine M.)

The McDonald's Fry Guys do the wave.
Bekah: "Bite the tiny heads off."

Third time's got to be a charm. janelhin@: "Bite they tiny heads off." (darned autocorrect + my stupidity)
I am laughing so hard at the hands in the air cake oh man... I probably sound like I am being tickled to death lol.
@janelhin, the missing line I remember in the version which B. Kliban, a wonderful cat cartoonist, illustrated is "Bite they little heads off".
That first one would fit right in with the Rat Tart from Monty Python. "Give me a slice without so much mouse in it".
The first one must be popular among cats, owls, and foxes.
@Sue W.
No. No, you are not.
...and it and it's...com padres...are BLUE.
