Birdbrains by Thom Bluemel for March 26, 2011

Good morning, Birdbrainiacs! Ouch, that hurts just thinking about it!

Cats are bad news. Stay away from them.

See, black cats crossing your path are bad luck.

I have two cats rubbing my ankles and it isn’t near breakfast time yet. How do I sign up for one of those seeing eye dogs? Nobody better see a face cause I’m nearly out of medication.

At least one face in the bush just outside the door. If you really strain the imagination, another on the bottom of the left pup’s foot.

And the glass is a face… with glasses. Or maybe that’s because I’ve been drinking a drink and I’m faced, I think.

Faint face on the wall above the gig-less dog. Two faces in the bush – at the base and another above that, both to the right of the chair. But I can’t make the smudges below the other dog’s collar be a face.

No x_Tech I see it too. In fact, you stole my line! :-)

Cats are stuck up snobs, but they require a bit less maintenance (unless you like emptying a litter box). I don’t like dogs any more cuz I’m not fond of touching fecal matter from any species.

Mornin’ Tribe.

Sometimes instinct is a curse.

Oh yeah, blame it on the cat!!!!!

Good morning, Tribe, It seems y’all have gotten to the faces before I had a chance. Good job!

If you really strain your imagination….there’s a cone head face in the center of the wall……the light side…..between the two dogs.

Nothing much good ever came of chasing cats. Not worth it.

My alien implant told me the same thing, Minky.

Hey–you guys got all the faces!

But nobody noticed that the wolf isn’t at his door–he invited the other dog inside.

I always wondered what the inside of a doghouse looked like after the dog moved in.

Now I just need to see inside Snoopy’s house.

Cats are just evil creatures - at least that’s what my hubby says!

The walls are filled with gobs of hidden faces! Yikes! :D

You never own a cat.

You never own a cat.

Dear Pookid54,

I’ll be the first to admit when I’m wrong, but when I consulted my Webster’s New Third International Dictionary. my Webster’s Ninth New Collegiate Dictionary and my Microsoft Bookshelf dictionary, I discovered, as you will, that “till” is a conjunctive synonym for “until.” The use of the word till to represent until as it was used in today’s cartoon is perfectly acceptable and proper.

I don’t mind being called a teenage nitwit; but as an old English major, I do find it a tad offensive to be called such a name for properly using a term the reader “thought” was improper - especially when the reader was wrong.

On the other hand, being offended is a fun past time here on Birdbrains; so, please let me proclaim with proper indignation and umbrage how deliciously offended I was to be called a “teenage nitwit.” I am indeed NOT a teenager!!

And thanks to all for reading this stupidly correct cartoon.

Most offensively yours,

Thom
