Taking idioms seriously




Cartoon Thursday continues with today’s Mother Goose and Grimm:
Mother Goose wants Grimm not to reveal a secret, not to let the cat out of the bag.
 Grimm agrees that he won’t let the cat, Attila, out of the bag he has him in. 
A play on an ambiguity between literal and idiomatic (and figurative) readings.
