Birdbrains by Thom Bluemel for March 04, 2011

Good morning, Birdbrainiacs! I actually walked by a pheasant on a very windy day once and my dog brought him up to me. Glad pheasant gangs weren’t a big thing in those days!

I don’t get it!

I thought dogs chase squirrels.

A bird a shot down by a hunter is talking like he a gangster rapper. The bird dog should just squeeze little keep the bird fat beak from flapping so much.

A lab only understands “food”, “walk”, and the sweet blast of a 20 guage.

The norotious rapper Phiftysant.

These rappers are always getting into squabbles doncha know.

There’s something fowl about this today … I don’t quite understand it.

Mornin’ Tribe… Thom, can you please explain for us the punch line?

Well, none of seems to understand that different language than English, so we are all in the dark..

Another day maybe.

Maybe we should use the “Language Translator”…….

I also don’t see any faces……hey. whatsa uppa here????

(brilliant art work, however!!)

Hey bird, yo wanna neck?

I don’t see any faces either.

But I can see how a farmer feeding 3000+ pheasants might want to thin the flock a bit…

Yo, P, guy in your position, looks like you be capon, not cappin’.

Dear confused Birdbrainacs,

I feel rather silly explaining one of my more stupid cartoons, but here goes…

A rappin’ pheasant gets shot not knowing who shot him; but a Labrador Retriever happens along and grabs him by the neck. The rappin’ pheasant’s first thought is he’s being rousted by the “Man,” law enforcement, and considers being “dog-handled” as police brutality. So, of course, the pheasant threatens the “cop.”

Of course, the pheasant is mistaken and therein lies the unappealing, dull and not-so-funny irony of his unawareness.

Please forgive me for not making it funnier. I must have thinking too seriously when I put it together… seriously, that’s just not funny.

But thank you all for reading this confusingly distasteful cartoon!

Thom, Yo!

What it is, what it shall be, what it has become!

Phew!, Thanks for ‘splaining it to us Thom!

I thought I was just getting old.

Hey, wait…….I AM getting old!!!!

‘pop a cap in yo tail’ means that he will shoot him.

The old pooch does look a tad confused, too!

Good Evening, Fellow Birdbrains!

Thanks for the explanation, Thom!

Somebody check and see if the mutt’s side has a valid license to obtain that bird.

LMAO Thom. I thought the toon was funny, but your explanation was “da bomb, da shizzle, dope, the jones, fo real”, y’erd me dawg?

@Thom *”The Blue”), yo back at’cha!

I’m just glad that the pheasant was rappin’ rather than rabid…

Thanks for the explanation–it was similar to what I thought, but cleared up a few points.

Ditto, bmonk. Thanks Thom! Yo!
