Bobby and Carl Contemplate Mischief

“Go ahead, ring his doorbell. I dare ya. I double dare ya.”

No way! He has an oven in his basement where he cooks kids and eats ‘em.”

“Oh, you’re such a big fat liar, Carl!”

“Well, that’s what I heard. Janie Platz says that’s what happened to Timmy Doyle.”

“Timmy set fire to the drapes and got shipped off to military school, you dummy.”

“Well, if you know so much, why don’t you ring his doorbell?”

Another example of mind control from Brinke G.

  6. Theresa says:

    Little monkehs, when my dad was a whippersnapper, they would do it with a paper bag with dog doody in it. They would set it afire, then ring the bell and run. :mrgreen:

    My dad was a bad example.

  7. Theresa says:

    PS:
    Monkeh!
    Monkeh-eeee!
    Monkeh!

    I have a feeling these two would be especially good at monkey business.

  9. Jenn in IL says:

    “Oh, you’re such a big fat liar, Carl!” I heard that in my head the way an 8 year old would haughtily say it to another and it had me cracking up. Great post!

    Incidentally, is “Carl” the go-to name now used for all animals getting into shenanigans here? Seems to be (not that I mind!!)

  10. Theresa says:

    @Jenn in IL, I don’t know if it has any bearing here, but “Carl” was a pretty frequently used name in “The Far Side” for creatures like dogs, calves and snakes wearing glasses, etc.

  11. gizmo says:

    Der’s monkey bidness afoot, I guarantee it!

  12. ffleur says:

    Just noticed the placement of my comment: premièrement!

  13. fatgrammafinn says:

    *waves hi to theresa* *waves hi to Jenn in IL* maybe that should be a new rule of cuteness… any photo with more than one animal in it, the animal on the left’s name is Carl. Western WA, home of Gary Larson. I think he would approve.

  14. fatgrammafinn says:

    except for farting whales… their name is always Kevin

  15. O NO He/She/It DI-unt!!! says:

    “Did NOT”.
    “did SO”.
    (slight pause)

    “Did not.” “Did SO.”

    (pause)

    “DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD!!!!!”
    (or, alternatively)
    “Moooooooooooooooooooooooooooooom!!!”

  16. Valerie says:

  17. skippymom says:

    Theresa, I want to meet your parents.

  18. Theresa says:

  19. Kar says:

    “Bummer of a birthmark Carl.”

    Seriously, I look at a pic like these and realize, Oh Yeah, We’ve Evolved.
    Heck my last manager dragged his knuckles.

  20. AuntieBellum says:

    @Theresa: Piled-high and Deeper? That kind? :mrgreen:

    Mo-o-m’s Voice: “Boys? Boys! If you don’t stop bickering this instant, you’re both in Time Out for 15 minutes! And you leave the neighbors alone, did you hear me? Well, did you hear me?”

    (Oh, and NTMTOM — you da best! I can hear my brudders’ voices now….)

  22. Theresa says:

    Theresa, my dad and his friends used to tip over outhouses. That stopped when they tipped over the one his father was using.

  23. Aoife says:

    Brain not working. Meant to address that dad and the outhouse comment TO Theresa, not AS Theresa. Just figured our dads were kindred souls.

  24. Valerie says:

    Yup just like kids when they put their innocent faces on you know they are up to something. :D

  25. skippymom says:

    Aoife, I suspect that you secretly wish to be Theresa.

  26. skippymom says:

    As, I should add, do I.

  27. Hon Glad says:

    I know, I know we’ll climb on the porch and water bomb him, yeh and stick a potato over his exhaust and put that rubber dog poo on his seat and…….

  28. Brenda says:

    They do look like a couple of trouble makers!

  29. Theresa says:

    Time for my Monkeh Inspired Peter Gabriel Tribute Verse!!

    Little rascals hatching plots,
    Hiding there among the plants
    About the size of tater tots,
    Little scamps who don’t wear pants.
    They were something to observe,
    Planning their revenge on you
    A fate you may or not deserve,
    Stepping in flaming dog poo . . .

  30. Illise says:

    that too cute nothing better than small monkehs

  31. occula says:

    I also love the little tinge of anxiety on their scheming little faces … trying to get their nerve up, obv.

  32. Fuzzy says:

    Anyone else notice that Carl seems to be nomming the other monkeh’s head?
    I lof eet!

  33. skippymom says:

    @Fuzzy, yes I noticed that too. I think he is mumbling, “BRAINS!!!”

  34. nallie says:

  37. Jessy says:

    “Okay, fraidy cat, if you won’t ring the doorbell, call him!”

    “Yeah, we can ask if his refrigerator is running!”

    “Or if he has Prince Albert in a can!”

    “Or tell him it’s the library, and he owes a fine on “Under the Bleachers” by Seymour Butts!”

    “Ahahahaha! You dial!”

    “No, YOU dial!”

    “No, YOU!”

    (Let’s just hope he doesn’t have Caller ID . . . )

  38. O NO He/She/It DI-unt!!! says:

  40. Rhea says:

  41. Annie says:
