Each morning Frank Ball reads a few comic strips to stir his creative thinking. In just a few frames, many of them tell an interesting story with beginning, middle, and end.

One of his favorite strips is Shoe, by Gary Brookins and Susie MacNelly, when Skyler sits in the classroom and absurdly answers the teacher’s request for a definition.

Here are some daffynitions that were added recently:

  • Archenemy — Flat feet
  • Canned Ham — Actor fired for overplaying his part
  • Country Bumpkin — What farmers attach to the front of their tractors to absorb crashes
  • Monroe Doctrine — Gentlemen prefer blondes
  • Redundancy — An airbag in a politician’s car
