Here’s another shot of this week’s cartoon, in case you’ve forgotten what it looks like.
“Nice Butt!”
“You know I like big butts.”
Meet me behind the Hill at nine.
Were we supposed to get a “Bud Light,” or “Butt Light?”
“Yes, it does make us look Cool”
I tried using the patch, but it kept sticking to my backside!!
“come on baby light my fire…”
“With the new smoking ban these will be collector’s items!”
“…Match.com, where’d you get yours?”
“Eeeeew! Don’t you know where that’s been?!”
“I’ll meet you in the bathroom at recess.”
We’ll do it at the couch to avenge what they did to the Queen.
This should take care of that spider problem the colony’s been having.
If the president can smoke, so can we.
With one of these, I can get as many of those as I want.
Ever since the queen started smoking she has become a real bitch.
We’re carpenter ants. Let’s take a cigarette break.
Fire Ants
4 out of 5 ants agree, Malbaro lights 100, are just what the doctor ordered after a long day at work, carrying 10x your body weight.
“Hey, we’re just ants. How are we supposed to stomp out smoking?”
Now, shall I go on “strike”????
hahaha
The contents of this ashtray should suffice for us to complete our colony’s Butthenge.
Now all we need is a magnifying glass.
It’s a god thing these things are out, or we’d be fried!
The Queen will love this. Just in time for mother’s day!
well smoke them if you got them
yes i come here about a pack a day, you?
MATCH.COM GETS YOU HOOKED UP
Lucky we can carry 10 times our body weight!!!
“It’s like we were made for each other”
“I’ve heard aliens won’t eat you if you smoke.”
“Black Lung Ants”
“Yep, I wish it was a doobie too.”
“You got the butt and I’ve got the fire.”
“I don’t inhale.”
If we put these together, we could be smokin!
After being thrown out of the nest, Anton and Jennings were reduced to filching used butts out of ashtrays.
ya…we’ll make it work…
Now that we all have health insurance we can start smoking.
I’ve never done this before so, which one do we smoke?
Man, they guys were right, you do look cool holding a cigarette.
New spokesmodels for Camel lites!
Does this match make my butt look big?
Need a light?
Oh yeah, you and what army?
i think we should take this stuff back to the hill and have one wild party
Louis, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship…
Score. Now let’s check the trash for a beer can.
Ted and Phil were stoked with their find, but they were really hoping for one without a filter.
After years of being sworn enemies Anton and Stew finally found common ground.
Let’s bug out of here for something really smokin’.
I thought you told me you couldn’t get addicted to these things. I am up to two butts a day.
“Let’s take these back to the Queen – she says it’s great after sex!”
“Stunt our growth? Don’t be ridiculous… I see humans smoke them all the time and look at how big they get!”
Ant you glad you quit smoking?
“What warning label? We can’t even read!”
“Well, technically, it’s called second-hand smoke-ing!”
“Because we’re hunter/gatherers – let someone else figure out what they’re good for!”
Man, I need to quit this. I’m out of breath just holding it…
Hi Bugsy, “Did ya here about the frog that got mugged by snails”! Yea,the detective asked the frog ‘What Happened!” Frog said he didn’t know! “Happened so fast!
Ok hun, see at the Fleamarket!BYE!
Hey if that gets too heavy, I can “Handle” it!
“Something is definitely missing here!”
Just grab your butts and let’s light out of here.
Of course it’s okay, ants don’t have lungs.
My Queen really likes to light one up!
What happened to the good old days when it was your peanut butter in my chocolate?
I said “let’s make a hut not get that butt!”
You doin’ your Christmas shopping early too?
Do you need any help getting that fag a’ flamin’?
You light up my life.
“Time to break the habit, Nelly.”
“Do you think we can sell these on ebay?”
“Minimum wage just isn’t cuttin it any more.”
What do you call a smoking ant? Dead ant, dead ant, . . .
“We’ll show those fire flies that we can ‘light up’, too!”
“sup…”
When hard work failed, Tom took up social smoking to move up the corporate ladder in the colony.
Well SOMEONE needs to light a fire under your butt!!
yeah, I tried the patch too, but they kept ripping my legs off!
Drats! These aren’t those hand rolled cigarettes like last weekend that made us feel groovy.
Now we can really ruin a picnic!
Slower to cause death and more addictive than a can of bug spray, the low tar cigarette was the bane of the anthill.
The last thing Ed and Judy saw was the shadow of a tacky, but comfortable size 8 loafer.
Smoke it!? I thought we were getting rid of those pesky red ants.
Well, the Union says we’re entitled to a smoke break…
Those fire ants got nuttin’ on us!
That new ban on smoking indoors is killing me!
I hate having to make the cigarette run for the Queen!
Hey, you got a match? Yeah, my butt and your face!
“Did you get a load of that guy’s teeth?”
“James Bond he wasn’t.”
“We’ve hit the motherlode!”
“All right now we’re the ones with the weapons of mass destructions!”
“For all you do this butt’s for you.”
I quit, but I once was a three- butt-a-day man
I’m a janitor now but, before the economic meltdown, I was the CEO of a dot.com.
I don’t think the queen was referring to cigarettes when she remarked, “I love big butts”.
“We got a good match…baby lets light a fire!
No If’s, Ants, or Butts?
“I know! It tastes like chicken.”
My back hurts.I’m switchin to SNUS.
Fred. You’re history. I’m switchin to SNUS.
“I quit smoking over a year ago & I feel great. Now if I could just get over my pyromania.”
“The two winning slogans in their anti-smoking campaign are ‘Don’t be a butt-head!’ and ‘Smoking: Don’t make an ash out of yourself!’”
I can’t quit either one of you.
You’re in luck. I’m a fire ant.
I’ve tried to quit, but it makes me a little too antsy.
Damn thats a big butt you have, why don’t I light yer ass on fire with my bite
Hmm…….I will give you a light if you give me your butt
Let’s come back later for the wad of gum.
Fred. You’re history. I’m switchin to SNUS.
