Higgledy-Piggledy

I know some people like this. I don't think they'd appreciate being told this.
I think splitting two-word phrases into a conjoined phrase is kinda fun. I hope you like it too, because there are more to come.

Text:
Your organization skills bring to mind the terms higgledy and piggledy.

Helter-Skelter

Apparently this phrase is used in a few songs and movies, but the actual origin is hard to find.

Text:
A: This plan seems both helter and skelter.

Mamsy-Pampsy

I always thought this phrase meant wimpy, but apparently it means "refer to parents that are very protective of their children." Which could mean that the kids are wimpy? So maybe I'm not too far off.

Text:
Your efforts in this endeavor fall under both mamsy and pamsy. 

Hoity-Toity

This is the start of a series on phrases. This one was inspired by my brother-in-law who heard it from a coworker, hence the credit in the corner. I'm not sure what more to say since it seems the comic just speaks for itself.

Text:
N: That dessert seems both hoity and toity.

Wool Over Eyes

Happy Resurrection Day! He is risen indeed. Once for all is slain, God's Perfect Lamb!

Logistically, I don't know how well a crab's claws would trip sheep wool. But they seem like they'd be good clippers. What does that phrase actually mean? Possibly from the wooly wig days.

Text:
Crab: How would you like it styled?
Sheep: Don't pull the wool over my eyes.

Upset Stomach

I hope you all are well and not getting the Flu - I had that last year and it was horrible. Any time there's internal duress, it is horrible. Also panic attacks are bad, whether it's your cardiac system or digestive.

Text:
A: Could you please stop using the term "internal duress"? It's gross.
B: ... So then my tummy had a panic attack.

Reaching for a Fraction of a Birthday

Thought this up today and it's appropriate because how else would you celebrate your 7/12 birthday? It definitely involves reaching. And maybe some hot cocoa. Maybe I'll go make some.

Text:
M: You are really reaching for that gift.
L: Well, it is my seven-twelfths birthday!
M: Ah, that explains it.

Pets That Could Outlive You

I thought this up after hearing how long some parrots live. Turtles also have very long lives. Venomous snakes may not live super song, but ... can shorten yours. Oh, cobras can live like twenty years so that's a rather long living pet. Which shouldn't be a pet - that's a deadly animal that should be left in the wild.

Dim Sum

I have never had dim sum, and I'm not sure if I want to after hearing some people describe it. But others really like it, so maybe it is good. Speaking of people who like it, Happy Birthday to my Mom-in-Law!
There's a character in A Bug's Life who was a beetle named Dim and he was nice but... not the brightest.

Text:
F: Can they brighten the lighting in this Asian restaurant?
M: No, it's dim sum.

Trickster Tricked

Drawing finger guns was interesting. Leah had a rough life cut out for her. Jacob tricked so many people, when he got tricked he shouldn't have been surprised.

Text:
Genesis 29:25
L: The trickster has become the tricked!
J: Worst. Dad-in-Law. Ever.

Jacob's Ladder

It is hard to draw parallel lines and also perpendicular ones. I have seen many interpretations of Jacob's ladder but I believe who was on it was more awe-inspiring than the actual ladder.

Text:
Genesis 28:10-22
J: Awesome!

Esau Serving Jacob

This isn't the service that it's talking about but in a recent church small group meeting we were looking for service activities and volleyball, tennis, and the like were suggested. Also doing something during the 11am service. Yeah, our suggestions were rejected.


Text:
Genesis 25:23
E: Service!
J: Ok big brother.

Code Boxing

So my work is a little stressful currently but I have a punching bag at home and it's a great stress relief to just let out some aggression on my punching bag. Sometimes the tests just don't pass and you didn't even touch that code over there. Actually cardio boxing is great for multiple reasons but stress relief is a top one.

Text:
*POW* *WHAP* *THWAP*
M: Wow, rough day?
L: Code won't compile.

Donkey Kong

It's my sister's birthday so HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOUUUUUUU!
Since this comic is about a dog toy, you should get a dog! If your kid is allergic, there are hair-less dogs but NOPE never mind those just look wrong. Maybe go for a hypo-allergenic one - there are some cuties like a GIANT SCHNAUZER! Oh, the hairless ones are there, too. Pay them no mind.
I'm quite happy with coming up with this pun. I should sell the idea to Kong but then they might need Nintendo licensing and who knows how that would go. Even if it was a real thing, probably not an appreciated gift to a video gamer friend.

UPDATE: I submitted my idea to the Kong Company. Hopefully I have brightened someone's day.

Text:
B: Why did you get me a little red horse? It's a dog toy.
G: IT'S A DONKEY KONG!
