Birdbrains by Thom Bluemel for January 28, 2011

That would be eerie!

Good Morning, Fellow Birdbrains!

This toon is a hoot! I never thought of that.

Their prey is closer than they think.

There’s nothing eerie about hooters day or night.

That is one well drawn comic Thom.

Beautiful artwork once again, Thom!

Did I tell you that I liked Owls???? I do,,,,,,, I do!!!!!!

Have y’all heard the screech of a Screech owl on a dark summer’s night? When we lived in So. Cal, and we would sit out very late watching the stars/satellites/meteorites, we would hear them……what an awesome sound!!!!!!

These “lil ole Hoot Owls” are something out of Cinderella!!!!

I’m offended that I can’t see any faces this early in the morning.

Daytime hooting aint worth a HOOT!!!

Love the art. And I do here the occasional daytime owl hoot around here. Of course, it’s still pretty early.

Tried imitating Owl calls late one night. Apparently I was successfully. From the Owls’ frenzied response either I yelled ‘FIRE’ or … a sultry ‘I’m Easy’. Quickly made my way indoors.

I remember a (comic) book with a Cousin Eerie. Is this strip intellectual property theft?

I don’t give a hoot. I wanna hoot all of the day and all of the night.

I second ♠Lonewolf♠, Thom. Beatiful artwork.

Owls are destined to work the graveyard shift.

On bird counts with the Audubon Society, I’ve played owl calls in an effort to get them to call back so they can be enumerated. x_Tech, the worst that can happen is you’ll get one irritated at a supposed rival and it’ll make a stoop at your head.

Here in Rural Indiana, we hear screech, barred and great-horned owls often (but never 6 nights in a row). Eerie or not, the barred often hoot during the daylight.

Thom has some of the most intricate, and beautiful artwork I see in ANY of my comics! Which makes his strips such a hoot to read!

Mornin’ Tribe!

Love the squirrel in the tree trunk! Nice touch!

seems like they’d always want to be tooting their Great Horns.

And they feel the same way about squirrels as the Dogs in UP, so this wouldn’t be their current conversation.

Hoot are you? Hoot hoot hoot hoot.

The Hoot.

Wouldn’t hooting warn your prey? Not that he doesn’t already see you sitting there.

Hellooooo cousins

One moon lit night I was grabbing chickens roosting in a low tree. After fetching three I discovered the 4th one was an owl. I let go fast!

It must be too dark to see any extra faces…I think the owls that screech are eerier than any amount of hooting.

But the eeriest is when an owl turns its head nearly completely around to look at me….

make you want to exorcise to keep in shape, b? ;-)

Hooters are good day or night.

Wise owls hoot all night and study all day.

Great art work Thom. I love it.

Thanks for all the kind comments, folks! Very much appreciated! As always, I have THE BEST readers in all of cartoondom!

And thanks for reading this cartooooooon!

no faces? not even for the man in the moon?
