Humans aren’t the only ones who must share unpleasant truths

Gag cartoon created by illustrator Mark Armstrong. A contrite-looking father worm is speaking to his son who looks shocked and distraught: “I’m afraid your friend Timmy is right, son — we DO eat dead bodies.”
The awful truth — there’s just no worming out of it… Cartoon: Mark Armstrong
