Birdbrains by Thom Bluemel for February 08, 2010

Yeah, that might take a bit more than usual, huh?

I’m tempted to ask whether the victim was a giant amoeba, but considering what a cockroach looks like when sufficiently smashed, and projecting to human scale, I think I’ll pass…

Daylight…and he needs a flashlight?

Thom I’m really offended that you expect us to believe that they would remove the body but leave the shoes behind.

Cookie? Doughnuts are traditional.Oh, his name’s Chip.

Oh, my bad Lewreader. I meant:

@Pacejv That’s not a flashlight, it’s a chalk holder.

That victim was definitely not street smart!

Good Morning All

crazyolnick, ditto on your 2 points there.

I’m sure they’ll catch the killer in nothing flat…

Mama must not have told him to look both ways before crossing the street.

Must have been a speeding steamroller. Or they caught the fellow napping.

I’m sure they smooth things over quickly.

I saw him officer. He was going flat out.

I guess she ran out of steam and couldn’t escape.

What’s the hole in the centre Thom? I’m offended!

Be happy they’re not parallel steam rollings, or broadband.

JAD, I think metta left out the comma–read it,

”JAD, looks that way, doesn’t it? ’:-)”

”Joe”, I read it the same way as Bunnyface(bmonk).

:^)

Hey, all -

Some of the comments today are flat-out funny!

Shika - Thank you so much for taking offense at the mysterious hole in the center of the “body outline.” For what it’s worth, that’s supposed to be one of the victim’s eyes… The outline is actually a gigantic, squished face - or so I intended. The two small shoes are only to show scale and how the victim really spread out. Should I be offended you didn’t read it that way? Hmmm…

I think I will! I, too, am offended by this cartoon! Thank you, Shika, for making it possible! :)

And thank you all for reading this smashed up cartoon.

LuvH8-

I’m offended you think the shoes were forgotten! The shoes are needed to prove the victim was a pedestrian and to show how a small person can become a big splat.

I WANT MY COOKIE!

I probably only deserve custard or pudding, though.

Thank you for being offended and offensive at the same time - YOU are a true Birdbrains reader! :)

Love it Thom Thom! You really get us brainy birds thinking on each and every strip!

Thom, your cartoon is indeed “smashing!” (And to keep my language consistent, may I offer you a biscuit?)

BTW, is there a face in the right-hand tree? Looks kinda like Fozzy Bear?

JP Steve, Not in the tree, but if you look closely at one of the badges… Thom

Thom, I caught the badge but I thought I was just seeing things because I’m looking so hard. Oh well…………..
