My father’s fishing boat advice was “Never eat bait.” You may think it was an allegory for preparing for the future, but in reality he just did not like calamari.
Gull, definitely. Adapts to various environments (rockbound coast, supermarket parking lot, etc.) ; has access to French fries, potato chips, even whole bags of potato chips in summer; can soar on the wind or flap steadily as conditions require.

If the seagull flew away at the end, then he’s in every panel today. ☺

You get to eat more french fries as a gull then you do as a flounder.

The seagull would be much better at this stuff.

And the boats name is “the Narwhal”, and the seagull is only missing it the first frame, what a deal. :-)

When Wallace’s dad was a kid, he was a lot more gullible..

I got a chuckle from the seagull leaning on the side of the boat in panel 2, also giving Dad the stink eye in panel 7.

If you’re the gull you can poop on anyone you want.

I fail to see how the rest of the strip has anything to do with the first panel
