This question is often on my mind. And occasionally on my body.

Placebo Weight Loss
As advertised, placebos occasionally work.
Writer’s tweak: invisible guy should say in the last panel, “I actually gained a few pounds. Can you tell?”

Poultrygeist: the Pun
This isn’t a video recommendation. I haven’t watched it. I haven’t read the fine print on the poster.* But it caught my eye on Netflix because it’s a pun I used 20 years or so ago. In mine, we see a farmer in his living room, populated with ghostly chickens. The farmer isn’t inconvenienced. The chickens are just there. (the implied back story: the farmer built his home on an ancient chicken coop.) I’m guessing the film takes a different direction.
*I left the image small to save you the bother of deciding to skip the fine print.
When Less is More
This is an old one. It had a different caption when I first wrote it. I’d seen the moon referred to as a lesser body, so I wrote, “Harv loved to show off his lesser body.” I could rewrite it again as, “Few could deny that Harv had a lesser body.” One of my trials as a cartoonist and perfectionist — as in, always tweaking, not necessarily improving — is deciding on the final caption.
