Humorous Microbes!

Gary Larson is one of my favorite cartoonists - the creator of the Far Side - a very famous single panel cartoon series.  Satirical, humorous - and always a play on words.  Check out this one that plays on the structure of amoebas.  Do you get it?
Perhaps you're the next Gary Larson.  For extra credit, create a cartoon of a microbe - any kind of microbe - bacteria, protist, virus - anything.  Just make sure the cartoon shows your understanding of both the structure and the function of the microbe.  Have fun and good luck!  Bring it in any time within the next couple of weeks.

  1. Hello Mrs. Hill, that was a funny play on words. I will try to do the extra credit homework, it sounds really fun! Did you know that amoebas move by making part of its body move in the direction it wants to travel, then the rest of the body slowly follows?
    Sincerely, Caitlin
