Scary Gary by Mark Buford for September 22, 2023

Or, maybe not.

Poor Travis, smashed to smithereens!!!

Cheer up.. it’ll be safe down there on the ground. You’ll be mangled and smashed into unrecognizable pulps, but safe. Well, there are the hungry possums and raccoons. And wolves. And vultures. Never mind.

A full moon makes creatures lunatic.

Those walking sticks sure look like stakes…. uh oh.

Gary’s expression in the last panel is great!

Travis is a nice guy but he’s no Magellan.

Magellan didn’t finish his trip either.

“My OTHER left ear!

Rescue arrives on the scene and calls for police. They have found a disembodied head and a corpse. Them talking… well that is where it gets both interesting and funny!

Recalculating

Can’t Gary just turn into a bat and fly?

That went South quick!!

“… or wasn’t my right ear?”

Travis must have been a Google Maps programmer before he lost his head…..

Not good night vision for a Night Specialist…..

EEK!

I was worried at first that Travis’s jar might break but I can tell he’s lining himself up to land inside Gary’s butt. To be continued….

Time to wake up ? Dallas all over again ?

Travis gets a few moments of zero-G. It’s an experience he’ll remember the rest of his life.

Okay, who did not see that coming?

Tune in next time to see what happens to our intrepid explorers. I think they’re gonna bite the big one. :)

Uh-oh. Looks like Travis doesn’t know his left from his right, or, isn’t so free-floating as he thinks. O maybe Gary just couldn’t follow directions!

Whichever the case may be, this does not look good for Our Boys!
