Questions/Observations:
1) If the ventriloquist’s dummy was actually a little person, where did the ventriloquist put his hand?
2) How low to the ground was that chandelier hanging that a midget could swing on it and kick her in the face while still holding on to it?
3) According to the fifth panel, she just got kicked the face. So why is she laying in a position that makes it seem like she’s reclining on the hood of White Snake’s car, waiting for the video director to yell “action!”?
4) He’s making a guess room out of a guest room right after kicking her. Which makes this the most violent Laddergrams game ever.
5) If she can’t stomach people who conk her on the head, is she able to spleen people who pat her on the butt?
6) Why is she chasing this guy anyway? Because he was posing as a ventriloquist’s dummy? Just how invested is she in the sanctity of nightclub entertainment?
As expected, these are GOLD.
Yeah, whoever submitted those puns wrote at the bottom of the list “But I’m not an alien!!”
