With a quack quack here

And a quack quack there

Here a quack, there a quack

Everywhere a quack quack

Hmmm.. what’s missing here?

Yes Brad, the afternoon’s just not what it’s quacked up to be.

It will be a problem for Brad’s job if his boss spots him.

Every day Brad drifts a little further out into the duck pond after lunch. One day he won’t come back. Duck tale, the sequel.

Looks like the Boston Commons.

In his last incarnation he was a bee. Drucilla had the darndest time getting the honey off his cardboard inserts.

I get it, Brad. Lunch always puts me in a kind of trance, too.

Brad always wants to duck out after lunch.

Just stay in the shallow part of the basin – the not-go-swimming-for-two-hours-after-eating won’t get you drowned then.

Otherwise – PE in the early afternoon, our teacher (course swimming) was a b*tch – I nearly died. Seriously.

I thought it was Donald.

Brad is ducking out of work….

Brad likes to maximize his lunchtime hour with his new duckbill feedbag system…

Brad could be surfing the web rather than webbing the surf.

Good morning Balladeers and Tigressy!

Uh oh, Brad is quacking up. He may get into some fowl play

So what’s the problem?

He kind of relates to Daffy Duck!

That’s just what happens to him when he has lunch at the Quacker Barrel…

Or, he just wishes to be more like his hero, General Beauregard T. Duckwaddle, who won the Battle of Old MacDonald’s Pig Sty wearing his bathrobe. No-one knows why, just did…

This is serious, Ballard St Health & Sanity department needs to be notified that there is a serious case of duck flu going around.

Poor Brad – do your feet hurt?

Duck! It’s Brad!

Maybe he’s been eating too much of the bread people throw to him. :)

Brad still yearns for his boss-free previous life as a duck-billed platypus.

Duck-billed Sourpuss.

Brad fails to duck the truth…..he’s just a duck.

“I don’t get it. The other ducks get to hang around the park all day. Why can’t I?

He’s quacking up.

Be careful, Brad! It’s duck season in your area!
