Strip by: Wibi

{Ambrose is pointing at a captive alligator in an enclosure.}
Ambrose: beneath its deceptive grin, the alligator is a beast of vile cruelty. should food be perched partly in its mouth, it might perform a horrid "death roll" as to rip it asunder. the mind trembles to consider such barbarian force, and as such i order a public stoning to show this abomination its place!
Meridien: such a request is plainly infeasible!
Ambrose: what? why?!
Meridien: everybody knows that a rolling maw garners no stones.

The author writes:

Alligators are trying their best.

(That would make a good Postcard submission.)
