Any guesses as to the answer?

Things took a very unexpected twist as the classic villain underestimated her opponent—and their guardian.

If you were Dorothy, how would you handle this beastly surprise?

#PlotTwist #WickedWitchFails #FairyTaleRewritten #elibarnescartoons
During a confrontation, the Wicked Witch of the West, riding her broom and gesturing menacingly, declares, “I’ll get you, my pretty, and your little dog too!” Dorothy, standing confidently with her hands on her hips, is flanked by a massive two-headed dog with spiked collars, snarling fiercely. The witch appears startled, caught off guard by the intimidating creature. The scene humorously reimagines a classic moment from The Wizard of Oz.

Rugby players call it determination; soccer players call it the end of the world.

Which sport do you think requires the toughest mentality?

#sportsbanter #rugbyvsfootball #athletehumor #elibarnescartoons #sportsmentality #humorincompetition
A rugby player, heavily bandaged and on crutches, insists he's ready to play again, calling his injuries "just a flesh wound."

Kathy believed silence was the secret to productive meetings, but the team clearly mistook it as nap time.

What’s the most unusual meeting strategy you’ve encountered?

#workplacehumor #mindfulleadership #officeculture #elibarnescartoons #meetingsgonewrong #mindfulnessfail
Kathy's leadership style is portrayed as overly considerate in this comic. She silently "shushes" her team during a meeting, but most of the attendees are either asleep or on the verge of dozing off. Her attempts at quiet leadership lead to unintentional hilarity.

Are dinosaurs the original mindfulness practitioners, or does this T-Rex just seem like it's "zen and extinct"?

Sometimes, even the most serene journeys end with a stubbed toe and a few choice words. 🦶💥

If a monk breaks his vow of silence and no-one is around to hear it, did it happen?

#monstersandmindfulness #monstersandmiracles #elibarnescartoons #mindfulnesshumor #comicrelief #meditationfun
The comic shows Brother Mervyn, a monk who has just stubbed his toe on a table, breaking his seven-year silent meditation journey by angrily shouting symbols representing expletives. The humor lies in the dramatic undoing of his lengthy silence by something as mundane and frustrating as a stubbed toe.
