My kiddos both call me a fountain of useless knowledge…but ALL the kids loved me when I helped chaperone a zoo field trip and they all got A+ on the animal facts sheet they were supposed to fill out. The teacher asked “where did you find this stuff out? I didn’t know this!” Meanwhile I’m just laughing…and my 13 year old daughter was HAPPY to be public with me, lol!
I will remember this for future zoo trips. Though, by the time Xena’s 13 she’ll have probably read the entire internet and know WAY more stuff than I ever will XD
I think it’s actually a bug or some other arthropod that does that, but I am absolutely not going to google it to check, because it is viscerally horrifying on a deeply disturbing level. Cthulu ain’t got nothing on tongue-bug. It is the horror-lego that nightmares are made of.
Compared to that, monkey orgies aren’t nearly so bad.
One of my rules: Never tell animal lovers about how bonobos, dolphins, or anything else cute cuddly and …agressive…. actually behaves.
Also, I have finally figured out Patreon! I still hope someday there will be a little book of some of the best of these strips. Like secret toast. Or marlon and the lettuce. or the late night art student shenanigans, or your (then future) hubby’s first appearances in the comic and the marriage proposal and reactions.

Beats a number of the human methods of conflict settlement.
And I would like to inquire further about the nature of this band’s performances….

Oh, like the other mom didn’t think about the sex-obsessed apes when she first heard of the band.

That’s some random facts

Yep, it’s an isopod called the tongue-eating louse!
But, real talk, it was too much to fit in the word balloon and “fish” rolls off the tongue (ha ha, see what I did there?!) better.

It’s an isopod, actually. A creepy, creepy, nightmarish little isopod
