“I do remember a man who would bring his son to the bakery every Wednesday and go feed the ducks. He would buy all of the sourdough bread. Of course, y’know, you’re not supposed to feed the ducks sourdough bread at all. It swells up in their stomach and then they all die. At, uh.. at least… at least that’s what I’ve heard. Y’know I-I never saw any ducks die myself, but I did notice a substantial decrease in the duck population over the course of a few years. I just never thought to stop the man and tell him that he was killing the ducks by feeding them sourdough bread! And if you want my opinion on the matter, heh – and I told Orville this as well – “If you wanna feed ducks, or birds, or any kind for that matter, it’s best to buy seed.”
I mean, when you think about it, breads of any sort don’t occur in nature. They don’t grow on trees, or spring up from the bushes. I don’t think birds know what to do with bread. What was I saying?”
I live in a very nosey town and that strange birdman is exactly how you need to be here.

This hit the same funny spot of the brain as Farside used to. Bravo.

This works on many levels.
haha I love the legs and feathers sticking out all over the place
it took me a minute…… 😛
I recently learned that bread is actually not that health for birds. Ducks even develop deformities called Angel wings, if they mainly eat bread.

On the internet, no one knows you’re a dog.
Does anyone know what style of artwork this is?
Sir, where’s your masks?
I love the little feeties!
Ahhhhh, the 80s and 90s. I remember it like it was 30 to 40 years ago.
I like how we dont actually know which one of them was harassing the other
Birds, if you’re having trouble buying your bread you only need to come find me. I would be more than happy to conduct the transaction for you.
That’s Roald Dahl-esque content there
Submit this to the New Yorker.
I adore this art style. Reminds me of Quentin Blake’s work on the Roald Dahl books. Fantastic. Funny, too
Help please. I’m still totally lost here. Birds?
I’m reminded of the scene in HitMonkey where he gets a hotel room.
If a monkey with a bag of weapons puts down enough money for a room, it doesn’t matter if it’s covered in blood or not.
It’s getting a room key.
Ah yes. Vincent Abirdman.
This was great, and then even better when I saw that it was birds. Bravo OP
traight hit the snooze button.
and stop taxin
This reminds me of “the far side gallery”
Those little feet, idn why but I laughed and chuckled.
I have often found myself in much the same position
This is unrealistic, birds are smart enough to have us buy bread for them.
