Nancy Classics by Ernie Bushmiller for January 10, 2019

I Like the “Originally appeared” dating.

The stork brought them! Oh, wait.

The walls may be 20 feet high but the fence sure is short.

What did the monkeys bribe the pelican with?

“Now they’re coming back. They’re not running away, they’re just commuting.”

If those walls are 20 feet high, that would make that guy that is walking past one in the distance about 10 feet tall.

Yes, we peli-can! This proves once again escaping is for the birds.

nice

Here´s an earworm for you: the background music from The Great Escape featuring monkeys planning the escape.

I love that they have brought back the original dating for the Nancy classics.. I wish they’d do the same for Mutt and Jeff! 1949 was quite a year – there were so many severe blizzards in the Plains States, beginning Thanksgiving 1948 and going in to January of 1949 that the newly minted Air Force participated in Operation Haylift – to help drop feed to livestock caught in snowdrifts and emergency supplies to farmers in Plains states – Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska in particular. There were snowdrifts as high as the tops of telephone poles. There was a movie called Operation Haylift which did a pretty good job of summing up the crisis. So much livestock – cattle, geese, turkeys, sheep, ducks, chickens – perished that even the government was worried that there would be a severe lmeat shortage in the United States. This happened during the same time period as the Berlin Airlift – and Operation Haylift followed many of the same protocols which had been established during the Berlin Airlift. Rather interesting that even Nancy cartoons gave a nod to the severe weather which enveloped the country during that time period.

Certainly easy enough to escape their area and roam around assaulting patrons.

Why would the zoo allow the exotic birds to fly free??
