A Snitch in Time

comic about Harry Potter and Quidditch and snitches get stitches instead of glue

Transcript:
The Scene: Harry Potter is learning about Quidditch from Oliver Wood
Harry: Oh no! Its wing is broken.
Harry: Quick! Let’s get some glue to fix it!
Oliver: You can’t use glue, you Muggle…
Oliver: Snitches get stitches!

Note:
Please be advised that anyone enforcing the policy of “snitches get stitches” is in direct violation of federal whistleblower laws (see 29 CFR 1960.46) and will be prosecuted.

And withal they learn to be idle, wandering about from house to house; and not only idle, but tattlers also and busybodies, speaking things which they ought not.

Sign Here

comic about signing your name by drawing a baby swan as a cygneture

Transcript:
Package for Some Guy. Sign here please

Sure

(draws a baby swan)

All you did was draw a baby swan…

Yes. That’s my cygnet-ure.

The End

And the swan, and the pelican, and the gier eagle

Leviticus 11:18

WWF

By now, you may have seen the shirt that spoofs the WWF:

drawing showing panda bears and folding chairs for WWF

Panda bears and folding chairs…

While WWF may mean World Wrestling Federation, and it may mean World Wildlife Fund, it has another meaning:

Words With Friends

So I updated the parody to use the other WWF:

drawing showing a panda bear playing words with friends for WWF

The next step is to combine the three so that the one panda is going to smack the other panda with the tablet instead of a folding chair. I might not get to that right away though.

Until then, go buy the shirt at Zazzle or buy it at Printfection.

Sorry about the Zazzle link. Zazzle did not like the design because it may contain trademark violations. Either they are unfamiliar with parody as an acceptable fair use, or perhaps they want to avoid any possibility of even remotely being near a trademark violation.

All the brothers of a poor man hate him;
How much more do his friends abandon him! He pursues them with words, but they are gone.

Proverbs 19:7

Dino Metrics

Dinosaurs grew larger the longer they lived, so you could judge the age of a dinosaur by its size.

Here’s a handy chart to show you, using metric/SI prefixes, how to gauge the relative size of a certain flying dinosaur.

drawing showing dactyl, megadactyl, gigadactyl, and teradactyl instead of pterodactyl

But that drawing is missing an important part of the pterodactyl. So here’s another version:

drawing showing pdactyl, pmegadactyl, pgigadactyl, and pteradactyl instead of pterodactyl

I’m sure you won’t forget your prefixes now.

I would have kept going, but there wasn’t room on the image for petadactyl. Plus, the version with the silent P would have been ppetadactyl, which is just silly.

Do not rejoice, O Philistia, all of you, Because the rod that struck you is broken; For from the serpent’s root a viper will come out, And its fruit will be a flying serpent.

Isaiah 14:29

Orthopedic Center

comic about joint chiefs of staff running an orthopedic medical center with the secretaries of the army and leggy

Transcript:
Welcome to the Military Orthopedic Surgery Center
Thanks…I’m here for the tour.

Well, we are glad you are interested in our facility.
Our center is run by two of the most respected surgeons in the area.

They are co-CEOs, and they handle elbows, wrists, knees, and ankles.
We refer to them as our joint chiefs of staff.

And over here are the receptionists.
We split the administrative duties between them

How do I know which one to see?
It depends on which branch.

This is the secretary of the army
And this is the secretary of the leggy.

The End

then let my arm fall from the shoulder, let it be broken off at the joint.

Job 31:22

Barbed Wire

No explanation necessary:

Barbra Streisand and Barbara Walter take the place of sharp barbs on strings of barbed wire

Therefore, behold, I will hedge up her way with thorns, And I will build a wall against her so that she cannot find her paths.

Hosea 2:6

Super Attitude

In case you missed this exchange after the halftime show of the Super Bowl, I have noted what Cris Collinsworth and Al Michaels had to say about it. It seems they missed the first part of the show.

Cris Collinsworth and Al Michaels call Super Bowl XLVI and discuss the halftime show

Transcript:
Cris: Who was that warm-up act for the Super Bowl halftime show?
Al: I don’t know, but he had a bad attitude
Cris: That’s true – he was being such a pre-Madonna!

Thus they were haughty and committed abominations before Me. Therefore I removed them when I saw it.

Ezekiel 16:50
