Nose-bitin' Audience Participation Tuesday #39

It's kind of like a fill-in-the-blank test. The best fill-in-the-blank test ever! Just find a difference between these two panels, post it in the comments, and you could win a prize.

The Return of Koko the Lassoing Gorilla


1) In panel one, the man will learn a hard lesson about smuggling bananas in canoes near Koko the Lassoing Gorilla. In panel two, the man will learn an even harder lesson about canoeing with his dog near Cecil the Poodle-Eating Sea Serpent.
2) In panel one, the poodle got a dye job to match Mary Worth's salmon squares.
3) The gorilla in panel two is aiming for the man's paddle. He really likes to mess with people.
4) The gorilla in panel one inspired the Gorillaz song Clint Eastwood.
5) The gorilla in panel two will manage to lasso the blue package. It is the man's birthday present. He will have the suckiest birthday ever.
6) The gorilla in panel one is color blind. He is attempting to enact revenge on the Man in the Yellow Hat for capturing Curious George.

It's all fun and games until someone gets hit in the head with a coconut


1) The picture in panel one is from an advertisement for a safari trip. The picture in panel two is from a box of animal crackers.
2) This is how the porn-producing elephant in panel one gets sexy elephants roped into the underground smut scene. Start them in with a little "legit work" for a travel agency or a circus (always a front), then onto the Z-rated "independent film" whose scenes just happen to require a lot of nudity. And then bam! Before you know it, he's doing hard-core porn, always thinking it's just something to tide him over until the elephant finds him some serious commercial work or films.
3) The fish in panel one is magically levitating. The fish in panel two was picked up by the gorilla, but it slipped out of his stubby, Dick Tracy-like fingers.
4) The monkey in panel two has mistaken the gorilla for a Skee-Ball game.
5) The elephant in panel and the monkey in panel one are playing hot potato. Since they don't have potatoes, they are using coconuts. They did, however, heat the coconuts to 375 degrees.
6) In panel two, the sun is gone. And no, Annie. It won't come out tomorrow.

There were plants and birds and rocks and things


1) The coyote in panel two is stinking up the water hole so no one else can enjoy it. The coyote in panel one is enjoying a very refreshing mirage.
2) In panel one, the buzzard will land next to the coyote. When a coyote starts splashing around in sand like it's water, it's pretty clear that he's going to kick it pretty soon.
3) The horse in panel one is wearing brown socks. The horse in panel two is a close relative of Gumby's friend Pokey.
4) The cowboy in panel two couldn't decide between Western wear and geek chic. So he went with both. It doesn't really work.
5) The bunny in panel one, desperate for nourishment in a desert with no vegetation but cacti, will fight off the vulture for the right to feed off the dead coyote. With its first taste of blood, it will become ... Bunnicula.
6) The cowboy in panel two headed out to the desert by mistake. He was in the mood for some chocolate eclairs or perhaps a mousse, but he is a very poor speller.

Winter sports in the dead of summer


1) The umbrella-wielding skater in panel one is such a huge fan of winter sports he moves to the southern hemisphere every summer. In panel two, the boy is engaging in this pastime for one reason and one reason only -- to show just how far behind I am on my Six Differences.
2) In panel one, it wasn't snowy enough in Bolivia yet for this kind of recreation, so our skater has ordered in approximately three acres of plexiglass to skate across and two tons of whipped cream.
3) The pinkish smoke in panel two is the result of the occupants of the home fueling their fireplace with cotton candy.
4) The rabbit in panel one will find that whipped cream makes a terrible topping for carrots.
5) The cardinal in panel two mistook the boy's hat for a potential mate.
6) A photo of the events in panel two, submitted to Hallmark as a potential image for a line of holiday cards, will be rejected on the grounds, "Not saccharine enough."

True crime and love poetry


1) The far right beating victim in panel one is missing his shoes because the defendant ripped them off his feet, tied them together and tossed them over a telephone wire. In panel two, his shoes are missing because he used them to fight back. You can see that one of them, with its horizontal treads, is stuffed in the defendant's mouth.
2) The guys in panel two were asking for it! The bald man could see the way they were looking at him! He doesn't like it when you look at him like that!
3) The men in panel one are faking their injuries. You unwrap that nose and those noggins and you'll see there's not a scratch on them. The guy in the middle will accidentally give it away when he gestures repeatedly with his right arm and doesn't even flinch.
4) The defendant in panel one is wearing his favorite shirt from the last time he was on a chain gang.
5) The defendant in panel two is particularly angry because he believes the judge has been writing love poetry to his victims. (For those interested in reading more about the case I linked to, apparently the guy also punched his public defender and called the prosecutor a "pig-faced mother.")
6) The officer in panel one is a corrections officer, not the arresting officer, who was none other than your friend and mine, Slylock Fox.

Prehistoric Audience Participation Tuesday #37

Apparently, the mama and baby bear rule also applies to birds


1) The puddle in panel one is breaking three laws of physics, while the puddle in panel two is breaking just two.
2) The cat in panel one wants to help the baby bird back into its nest. The cat in panel two wants to help the baby bird into his mouth.
3) Given the speed at which the bird in panel one is traveling, and the sharpness of its beak, and the proximity of a major predator, it sure looks like the wolf in panel one will be enjoying cat shish kebab on stork skewers.
4) The wolf in panel two lost his teeth, but he has fang dentures.
5) If you're wondering why the squirrel in panel two is so round, it's because it just ate a bowling ball. It'll take a while to work that off.
6) The cat in panel one is feral and has made its way to the wildlands. The cat in panel two is filming a sequel to Homeward Bound.
