Those little stinkers....

You don't wanna eat them, do you? 

Y'a know, getting Schlock's viewpoint of people at the circus is kinda fun.

Especially because it seems to consist almost exclusively of smells.

Any bets on how many people he can insult before getting the sack?

If I remember correctly, Schlock's eyes are not exactly natural equipment (I seem to remember them not being part of his genetic makeup?). So what does an amorph in the wild have for sensory equipment? Possibly hearing (hum, I don't see ears?) -- but largely, I get the impression that his mouth is the sense organ. Which means taste/smell (which are one sense, really). I'm not quite sure whether his skin also absorbs, but it might. So it seems natural that his primary sensory experience is smell.

He's being polite! Bouquet?

Heh heh heh. This is a great development.

And once again, I've got things exactly backwards.

OK, this is how Schlock is going to end up in the middle of things!

Nice strip.  It seems to me that the buildups are taking longer in this sequence, but that the punchlines are worth it.

Well, it seems that Security is not involved in killing off the spies.

Maybe.  Or maybe they're savvy enough to put out an obvious counter-intelligence hook.

I think the fellow Schlock is talking to is gonna be the bluff, honest cop ... security feller ... who really doesn't know why anyone would steal one of the clown cannons, load it with boomex, and blow up a clown. And why does the mystery meat taste funny?

Oh dear.  If that's not just a one-off gag about the mystery meat, I'll will be seriously impressed.

Did you order the capybara meat...

Yummeh.
