An unfortunate building to exist directly across from my therapist's office
A taupe stucco building stands in front of the Santa Catalina mountains, a saguaro in the left of the frame. A sign on the building reads "KMS Enterprises."

Gary Larson: "Just about every time I've heard or read anything about piranhas (as you might imagine, I'm drawn to the subject), it's always mentioned how quickly a school of them can skeletonize a cow. I'm not sure why a cow is always the standard unit of measurement for this sort of thing, but pondering it eventually led to this cartoon." (Two cows wearing backpacks and pith helmets prepare to cross a river, surrounded by tropical plants and vines. One says to the other, "Hold up, Niles. It says here, 'These little fish have been known to skeletonize a cow in less than two minutes.' ... Now there's a vivid thought.")

The saying "I'd rather be a harp seal than a sharp heel" implies that someone would rather be a harmless, gentle being like a harp seal than a person who is cruel, mean, or unkind, like the pointy heel of a shoe that can inflict pain. It contrasts a soft, natural image with a sharp, potentially hurtful one.
