B.C. by Mastroianni and Hart for July 19, 2020

About to get bored into the ground…

And then she beat up a snake with him.

Be thankful; They’ll have guns in the future.

I caught a seagull that way once. It looked at me with an expression very much like what is drawn in today’s B.C. (I was in Alaska fishing for King Crab). The gull was kinda jogging (flying) in place and I simply walked up behind it and grabbed).

OK, if your interested… it ended up as crab bait and it was super attractive to the crabs. The pot (trap) was loaded when we returned to empty it. When I remember this I feel sadness, guilt and a kind of perverse pride too. Catching a bird in mid-flight was exciting. My co-workers were excited because they knew it would be good bait… (note: It was 1975, hoping that there is a statute of limitations on my egregious behavior). From now on “catch and release” only but so far the birds are staying far enough away, and safely out of my grasp.

There are too many seagulls in some areas. I don’t see any problem with them being used as crab bait once in awhile.

Looks like Jane has got her lunch for the day.

So is today’s theme, It ain’t over until the fat lady nabs the singing Haha bird?

I have an interesting recipe for Corn Flake Crust Chicken! I wonder… Seagull??? Hmmmm…. (Grin!)

“OOPS.”

Dookey: RIP

Thus was the beginning of the original KFC concept.

Spoke— and dove— too soon.

Well, bird. You’re breakfast now.

He should have stopped while he was ahead.

Best thing I ever saw happen to a Laughing Gull was getting a little to close to a feeding frenzy of Bluefish at Popham Beach, Maine ! Just a red stain on the water!!

Never, EVER mess with Fat Broad (Changing the name doesn’t change here size or personality or my respect for her abilities.)

You picked the wrong female to mess with!

The Stukadayctl went extinct pretty quickly.

…’twasn’t the pilgrims that invented the turkey dinner…

It’s an interesting coincidence to me that they’d have a comic that begins with the line “The Gift of Flight” today of all days. EAA Airventure Week in Oshkosh (largest airshow of its kind in the world) was supposed to be happening this week.

And next, the first turkey dinner!

From dive bomber to dead duck.

We feast, stone soup w/ bird meat.

Well, who knew she was a Kung Fu master. I suspect bird will be a little late for his appointment with turtle. It seems that boredom can get us into the worst trouble.

So that’s how the whole magpie thing got started.

A bird in the hand, etc.

fourth time wasn’t the charm; it was fun for him while it lasted.

Now the bird is on the other hand!

What happens nest? What goes down stays down…

You all probably know this already, but I learned only a few years ago that “seagull” is just a colloquialism for “gull”, the correct name for the bird.

Kind of like the rioters in US cities.

All the ha-ha-ha’s make me think of Woody Woodpecker.

You underestimated the reflexes of a woman.
