Lio by Mark Tatulli for February 23, 2015

Lio found Perry for you, Phineas.

“Except for the duck-billed platypus” was a frequent expression in biology class. Nature, obeying the laws of nature since 1766.

“…and you may end up like Oedipus / (I’d rather marry a duck-billed platypus) / Then end up like old Oedipus Rex!” Tom Lehrer.

The book was written before the 21st Century when everything changed.

Looks more like a duck-billed duck.

Whatever they are, it appears they got the process down “plat”…

Sorry Lio.

The times, they are a-changin’! Social mores aren’t what they used to be even in the platypus community….

Is that the same platypus in the TV commercial in the supermarket?

i just quoted tom lehrer yesterday on grand avenue. he’s got one for every occasion. every comic strip occasion anyway.

This is the only thing I found on Duck-billed platypus’s mating rituals.The platypus mating season is between June and October. Around 2 years of age, both male and female platypuses are ready to mate. After successfully mating, two or three eggs develop in the female. After about a month, the female lays the eggs, which are soft like lizard eggs. She will incubate the eggs by curling around them for 10 days before they hatch.

The truth be known.
