    Could not resist bear sh1tting in the forest one……

    A rabbit assumes the position for a crap in the forest, whereupon a black bear ambles up next to the (by now rather concerned) rabbit … and says “Hey rabbit, does sh1t stick to your fur too ?” Rabbit, much relieved says “Yes ! As a matter of fact it DOES ! So the bear picks up the rabbit….. and wipes his own bum.

    No animals were harmed in the construction of this shaggy.

    So Julian turns out to be one of those asylum-seekers. No wonder the gummint doesn’t like him.

    Up to the minute I am almost a day later getting my acknowledgements in. Drover’s cat that is very funny. The Dog’s Arms is a bewdy hip translater you. Steve Gardner, many thanks to you for supplying the translation and original source not that I’m up on Virgil or Latin. I know it from its echo in George Bernard Shaw’s ‘Arms and the Man’ that I have a nodding acquaintance with from High School.

    Bluepoppy: If an Andean Spectacled Bear shits in the woods and no hears it it might not have made a sound but smell can be proof whichever way you listen to one of those I was told by a Yogi.

    Mike Jones: Deja poo.

    Am I the only person in the Dogonaut Lounge to find frame three as one of the funniest images, ‘toons, etc I’ve ever seen-in my whole life? I go weak at the knees just thinking about it. Give over…..

    @Venise, re frame 3, yes, and I’m thinking with the caption that it deserves to be Abbott’s new moniker…
