    Is that ant “licking” the envelope shut?

    Like in this whole whimsical and anthropomorphised comic, that is the one that trips me, lol.

      Reminds me of this Far Side strip:

      Larson said he got letters from people complaining that it was the FEMALES who bit people, not males. He said he knew that but noted that they didn’t seem bothered that they lived in houses, wore clothes, spoke English, etc.

    Yes, if you send invitations to snails, you really need to reserve a month or two.

    But if you send invitations to turtles, you only need to send them a week in advance. Turtles are much faster than snails, actually!

    Of course, in both of these estimates, there’s the assumption that the invitation is sent over snail mail, so…
