Today it came from a single line in Dirk Gently&#8217;s Holistic Detective Agency. The words in question were, &#8220;homicidal dirt muppet.&#8221; Hilarious without explanation but what the hell is a homicidal dirt muppet?! Clearly it&#8217;s a zombie Elmo clawing his way out of the grave with a giant hunting knife clenched in his teeth like the final scene of Freaks. Right? Apparently that&#8217;s what my deranged mind thinks&#8230; Glen as usual is not really happy with me putting him in this scene as you can tell. He has a thing with Elmo. I don&#8217;t know what but the two seem to have some sort of blood feud going. It&#8217;s like every time I turn my back he&#8217;s picking a fight with some other random character.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I debated whether or not I wanted to post this for Halloween but I decided against it as homicidal dirt muppets can appear at any time of year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today&#8217;s comic is brought to you by the word Muppet:  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Muppet<\/strong> (plural <strong>muppets<\/strong>) (Britain, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, slang, derogatory) An incompetent or foolish person. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Muppet<\/strong> (plural <strong>muppets<\/strong>) (American) A fuzzy puppet with big boggly eyes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/glenthecaterpillar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/homicidal-dirt-muppet-1024x512.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-123\" srcset=\"https:\/\/theophanesavery.com\/glenthecaterpillar\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2019\/08\/homicidal-dirt-muppet-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/theophanesavery.com\/glenthecaterpillar\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2019\/08\/homicidal-dirt-muppet-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/theophanesavery.com\/glenthecaterpillar\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2019\/08\/homicidal-dirt-muppet-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/theophanesavery.com\/glenthecaterpillar\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2019\/08\/homicidal-dirt-muppet-1536x768.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/theophanesavery.com\/glenthecaterpillar\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2019\/08\/homicidal-dirt-muppet-2048x1024.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Once again this American misunderstands slang from across the pond. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":123,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11,17],"tags":[120,151,181,211,220,226,300,334,362,477,479,590,690,759,808],"class_list":["post-122","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-literary-inspiration","category-tv-inspiration","tag-british-slang","tag-caterpillar","tag-comic","tag-dark","tag-deranged","tag-dirt-muppet","tag-gallows-humor","tag-graveyard","tag-homicidal-dirt-muppet","tag-muppet","tag-muppets","tag-random","tag-strange","tag-twisted","tag-zombie","has-featured-image"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/theophanesavery.com\/glenthecaterpillar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/122","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/theophanesavery.com\/glenthecaterpillar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/theophanesavery.com\/glenthecaterpillar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theophanesavery.com\/glenthecaterpillar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theophanesavery.com\/glenthecaterpillar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=122"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/theophanesavery.com\/glenthecaterpillar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/122\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theophanesavery.com\/glenthecaterpillar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/123"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/theophanesavery.com\/glenthecaterpillar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=122"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theophanesavery.com\/glenthecaterpillar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=122"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theophanesavery.com\/glenthecaterpillar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=122"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
