B.C. by Mastroianni and Hart for May 10, 2022

Fit to be tarred and feathered

That reminds me, time to hit the feathered pillow. Good night.

Wait till they find out that feathers are not the key to manned flight.

and thus… turkey was invented

Icarus and Daedalus strike only at night!

Bird, I’d say that you’ve been plucked but not kissed.

Daedalus was here.

Now that is what I’d call molting.

They just want to flock with you.

“Their experimentation is at my expense.”

“Fortunately, I keep my feathers numbered, just for a case like this. " (Foghorn Leghorn)

Now, that is one sound sleeping bird. I often wonder how it is that Frank Burns of MASH doesn’t wake up when Hawkeye and Trapper put his right arm in a cast. Or, encase his whole body in a crate with holes in it, and a multitude of other pranks we only hear about. And, yet, this is the same FB, ole weak lips, that woke up when his hand was put into a bowl of water or his feet were sprinkled with snow. It’s a wonder.

I hope that he has suntan lotion or he may end up an extra-crispy bird!

The wing part needs a little work.

Saying they’re a plucky lot is an understatement.

for your sake, let’s hope they’re not working on dinner

High winds didn’t help…

Sad, that. It won’t do either of them any good.

Icarus? Icarus? Is that you up there? Come down here this instant! Oops, that was too fast…

Do a Google for Featherless Owl.

Hmm. Wonder if this is how some birds became flightless…

Icarus and Daedalus?

Give them the bird!

At least they didn’t eat you….

Not necessarily.. they could be getting dinner ready.

What goes up must come down.

So Leonardo DaVinci was just following up in the 15th Century what B.C. started before?

They tried using leaves on the first planes, but those ones always fell

I don’t think it is the feathers alone that allows a bird to fly. Most birds are light and made for flight. People are not made to fly. Alas, there goes my dream to fly like Superman!

“Just need the right feathers.”

Man was flying as far back as 1783: The brothers Montgolfier in their hot air balloon.

Or inventing the rotisserie.

Isn’t that a flightless bird?

And making the same mistakes all over again.

The eagle looks naked right now.
