Birdbrains by Thom Bluemel for December 10, 2012

“Little” Friend? I’d hate to see a BIG Monty Python!

Lots of stoney faces here.

Is that an acorn? Everything here is hugely out of proportion. Great Job Thom! I love this one.

Is Lisa an African or European swallow?

That’s a wrap.

A five ounce bird…

Ni!

Lisa’s cuckoo for coconuts?

cue the Liberty Bell March

I don’t get this one at all – - – ???

King A & the Holy Grail…The King rode no horse but rather had his man make “clip, clop” sounds with coconut halves. Where did they get a coconut? This is an answer and pun.

Lisa may be a large swallow, but not as large as the one Monty is going to make.

P R F C, But she’s not unladen so getting her airspeed velocity would be useless.Faces in his hair too, including the edge that doesn’t usually have faces.

And now for something completely different. . . .

+++++

The stony faces of the audience indicates they are not amused by all the antics. Maybe if they were more animated?

(Where’s Terry Gilliam when you need him??)

Thom – Loved chatting with you yesterday. WOW I’m in print! Many thanks for the funny. It made my day.To answer questions: Obviously African in this context, and apparently about 24mph unladen. Yep, the geek girl looked it up. ;-)

He’s a LumberJack, and he’s okay……………..

In afterthought, I should have said How does that grab you?

Hug group therapy!

Today’s comic, as some of you may have surmised, is dedicated to my cousin/niece/relative-by-marriage, Lisa, with whom I shared a most wonderful Christmas party conversation yesterday. She refers to herself as the “geek” girl, but the rest of us know her as the genius-girl – who loves Monty Python (whom I have never personally met, but for whom I share a similar love) and all things cartoon comedic. So, long live Lisa, the Genius of Space… and Monty Python… and the readers of Birdbrains.

By the way, Montana, Jack probably knows Lisa.

And thanks to all my wonderful readers, who obviously share a similar love of the off-the-wall humor of Monty Python. I am continually amazed at how many of you actually get the dumb cartoons I make, but I’m sure grateful!

So, without further ado, thank you all for reading this cartoon of silly walks…

I sure would appreciate it if someone could give me directions to Castle Anthrax.

Well, I can’t add to any of this except, ROFLMAO!

THUMBS UP THOM!
