New comic strips today!

I wish you a happy new day today, and a lot of enjoyment thanks to Mike Franklin and his malapropisms!

First, read the phrases below either written here or on the picture, then – try to find out the meaning.

Next, discover new lexis, learn it, and laugh as the malapropisms are the best reason to grin when you study a new language.
