Pick a Northern Elephant Seal.They’ve never lusted after penguin flesh.(No penguins in their part of the world.)

Like reference to B. Kliban here.

“Penguinses is practikally chickens.”

I heard that in an old Bugs Bunny cartoon. :-)

Penguin McNuggets with a side of rancid herring.

I think David Attenborough just chimed in.

You should see majestic penguins flying to the South African jungles.

Love to eat them mousies,mousies what I love to eat,bite they little heads off,nibble on they tiny feet.

Short concert. Prejudiced against NESUA….

C’mon now.

I have a chef’s apron with “Love to eat them mousies” on it. I get a lot of looks when I wear it volunteering at the soup kitchen…

Encore! Encore!

Okay, I was ready to go off on a rant about Breathed ripping off B Kilban’s classic ‘Mousies’ song until I finally noticed the credit in the title card.

sometimes this better than the cartoon…sometimes…and i remember the practikally like chicken cartoon….lol!

WET DREAMKip Addotta

It was April the 41st – it being a quadruple leap year – and I was driving in downtown Atlantis.My Barracuda was in the shop so I was driving a red Stingray, and it was overheating, so I pulled into a Shell station.They said I’d blown a seal. I said, “Fix the damn thing and leave my private life out of it, okay?”

Don’t stand for that, Opus — bring in Oswald Cobblepot to take Fatty down.

Dang.

Im surprised that no one has posted this yet.

It was funny in the old days but also ridiculously inaccurate when Opus fretted about being eaten by a walrus. Walruses live only in the Arctic and penguins in the Antarctic. And besides, walruses eat mainly clams and other bivalve mollusks, not waterfowl.

AlexandertheGoodEnough has it right. So did the Happy Feet movies. The principal predator of penguins, at least in Antarctica, is the leopard seal. And they are as scary and bloodthirsty as Happy Feet depicted them. But BB chose walruses as an Opus predator originally because a lot more people knew about walruses than leopard seals, not to mention that walruses look funnier and the name “walrus” sounds funny too. Of course, later on BB figured out that elephant seals were also funny looking.

By the way, orca whales also prey on penguins. Perhaps the orca’s audition will be tomorrow.

LOVE B Kliban :) had his 3 major books when they each came out -this was homage to one of my faves
