Who doesn’t get irritated that their can of mixed nuts is rife with peanuts (a legume and not a true nut)?

Good eye. I often like to put a head-turner in my cartoons. (Of course, the penguins might merely be vacationing.) Interestingly enough, a grad student in Indonesia of all places was the first to take the prize for noting that penguins are a Southern hemisphere creature.

On the other hand, beer-drinking MGGA (Make Greenland Great Again) polar-bears have been seen sitting on front porches in Greenland.

These two were spotted near Ittoqqortoormiit, where the World Wildlife Fund even helps the town repel the polar bears. They put up “Harris Victory Campaign” donation QR codes on signs at the edge of town. The MGGA bears left in disgust after declaring that the town was “too woke” for them.

Of course, as Gary Larson has often said in replying to comments on his work: “My cartoons also contain such scientific inaccuracies as dogs driving cars and dinosaurs discussing their extinction.”

POSTSCRIPTS: Cartoon anomalies are also a good way to find out if anybody is paying any attention to the cartoons.

By the way, early in my cartooning I used to sometimes put in small print underneath the cartoon caption something like: “Easter egg count: 2” to encourage people to look for additional anomalies or secondary jokes. I found that only gamers understood the Easter egg concept and even many of them didn’t realize that the term was also used in cartooning. Sometimes the line seemed to be a distraction from the punchline so I quit including them.

Bi-polar. I love it!

And I know exactly how I would exploit that in a cartoon. But I know what responses I would receive from around the world: “Your cartoon is funny but bipolar affective disorder is no laughing matter. It involves considerable suffering for patients and their families.”
