I reckon your “after dark” cartoons are even more hilarious than your gut-tearing daytime laughter festivals, FD.

Even the larger version of the cartoon button killed me today !

This dog is on fire ! But only in a carbon-neutral kind of way. However that might be ….. Nuke Pooch ?

I’ve got a digital clock, so when I turned it off for the first earth hour I haven’t known the time ever since. Is the hour up yet?

make sure the candles are beeswax – the others just contribute to global warming. and it’s possible the bees aren’t too happy about the beeswax candles either.
who needs light anyway.

@Ern Malleys Cat: this year, I suggest you get two identical candles. Prior to earth hour, burn one for an hour (measuring with your clock). At the completion of one hour, extinguish the flame. Use this as a reference for earth hour.
“sulphur-crested”. Galahs would have done, but that’s quite good!

Ooh you bastard FD.
This appalling cartoon is nothing more than a vicious slander those glorious, sulphur-crested birds of paradise.
Just because they sound a (little) bit like Ian Macfarlane, doesn’t mean you can make fun of their diet.
(Plus they only drink Bundy and Coke from fully recyclable cans these days.)

Denialists?? Never!! Only a magpie lover could be so unkind.

P.S. Any more insults like this, will ensure the local gang of yellowtops will be paying Labradoodle Acres a visit to rip the bloody cedar cladding off your dunny. 🙂
