Loose Parts by Dave Blazek for April 28, 2023

Tippi Hedren didn’t want them.

But they wanted her.

Swallows are really fun to watch, very aerobatic. Swallows have distinctive sickle shaped wings.

Apparently there are some things you can’t return just anywhere.

Timing is important, too: some have a very specific return window.

I’ve never seen an actual live swallow in SJC. There are cool little copper ones on the sound walls along I-5 on the north end of town, and of course every little business here is “Swallow this” or “Swallow that”, but not so many flying around.

There are no swallows where I live, unfortunately.

This is more like the bad old days of customer service. Today’s return policies are almost ridiculously liberal. Of course, the pendulum of business practices swings and the old ways will return, like the swallows to Capistrano. :)

This is just too much to swallow.

I guess now he’s a man on a Mission.

Are they African or European swallows?

I thought they got back on their own. Otherwise what’s the point of the town?

It’s a “RETURNS” window. They don’t deal with swallows, but only with upchucks.

Brilliant comic today.

That’s really hard to swallow…

Or you can just take them outside and let them find their own way back.
