Myths, legends, and folklore: All just waiting for a cartoonist to come along.

CONGRATULATIONS FRANK JOHNSON MERRIEST MAN OF THE MONTH
“Look! Down there! … It’s a worm!”
Bad luck / Relatives coming for visit. / Tantor is loose. / Nothing: Just a guy with chicken on his head. / You're out of cereal. / Bad lane choice
Omens and their meanings
“Now don’t you kids forget—stay away from old Mr. Weatherby’s place.”
The goose that laid the golden egg / The sheep that gave the silver wool / The cow that gave the chocolate milk / The neighbor's dog that chased off the sheep and cow and killed the goose
“Well that’s how it happened, Sylvia. … I kissed this frog, he turns into a prince, we get married, and WHAM! … I’m stuck at home with a bunch of pollywogs.”
“Well, Griselda’s back from the plastic surgeon’s. … Whoa! Look at the size of that wart!”
“Uh-oh, Stan. I guess it wasn’t a big, blue mule deer.”
