O.K. I can just see all the commenters out there testing this theory. What a waste of muffins and scones! My arm may be tired, but I’ll try one last. Hand me that currant scone.
I got a good chuckle out of “pastry ballistics”. Brings back memories of the Three Stooges, the Marx Brothers, and the hilarious pie fight in The Great Race.
True story: my daughter once made muffins, they came out rock hard. I loaded my slingshot with one and had the kids come out to the backyard to see me scare a squirrel with it. As I launched the muffin, it proceeded to disintegrate mid air, raining muffin bits around the squirrel. The squirrel then proceeded to eat the bits of muffin. Bucky is 100% correct, you can’t hit a squirrel with a muffin.
Pinkish’s comment in panel 5 is mine about the news. I find that most news items raise more questions than information they provide. And you never find a follow up article with what really happened or why.
I had a neighbor who would shoot pebbles with his slingshot at squirrels but then later put out food for them. But in all fairness he was mad because they were eating the birdfood.
Why am I laughing at this comic? Because I can’t laugh at Prince Valiant, of course. You say Prince Valiant isn’t available through GoComics? Maybe that’s why I’m not laughing at it. Think I’ll go make a sandwich.
what a good use for scones! target practice that also feeds the wildlife. i like it. scones are, after all, otherwise pointless and inedible to normal human beings

I got distracted in the first panel… Remember the “Orange Julius” restaurants? They were in some malls here in NJ and had the best chili dogs!!!

Chipmunks travel through Transdimensional Hyperspace Ducts in a “Now you see him, now you don’t” sort of fashion. Fact.

Satch! Say it aint so! Sounds like that the voice of experience. Satchel’s been winging muffins at squirrels too!

Shut up, Rob!!! Let him finish the story. Thanks to you, we will never know what happened when Orange Julio was throwing muffins at squirrels

If they are my wife’s home made muffins, they are very similar to stones.

That hit me square in every funny bone I have. I laugh every time I think of Satchel’s last statement.

Okay, throwing muffins at squirrels. I believe that is called feeding them.
