Birdbrains by Thom Bluemel for August 10, 2011

Hope you took your Red Bull, Grasshopper.

King of the mountain?

I’m starting a collection for Birdbrains who see things in this strip that aren’t there. With long term therapy, they can become normal like me. They can face their illusions like I do with the help of massive pharmaceutical intake.I see no faces.I will put on the best face.I will face my delusions.I will face reality in the face of illusion.Put on a happy face.See it’s working already. Take out your check book. Address it to “cash”. Support your local post office with 44 cents. Wait for the return of sanity only I can offer.

That first step is always the hardest.

watch that first steps, it’s a lu lu

Stupid and culturally insensitive… if you’d gotten an actual racial slur in there, you’d have had the trifecta of offense.

Todays strip is a bit rocky.

Oh, a flying grasshopper. Wait….whrere’s your wings? Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

It’s a wrong way to tipperary…….☻

It’s true there are faces – but I see faces even in the large granite chunks used in my waterfall.

If that lake is below, go for a cannonball, Grasshopper! See if you can splash the Master.@Plods, I get more. Did you count the one that’s on Grasshopper’s robe taking up most of the below the waist area?

I guess there’s only room for one King of the Hill.

I am sure he will not bounce…..

Yeah, I can see five faces easily in the hill, a sixth in the grasshopper’s robe, and one or two more possibles.+++++I sure hope that Grasshopper can leap like a, errm, um—like a falcon. I really hate fellows (even fellow monks) who are as helpful as that master on the right.

it’s only monk-eying around until someone falls 1000 feet.sorry bmonk

Come on you smart people… use laymen terms here. I lost my dictionary—

In horse racing terminology, a trifecta is a parimutuel bet in which the bettor must predict which horses will finish first, second, and third in exact order.

Does that help, Hillbilly? :-)

One small push for Grasshopper. One giant leap off the cliff.

I like the face with the mustache or green whatever behing the pusher.

All the faces on this one are so detailed and expressive. Excellent artwork, Thom.
