B.C. by Mastroianni and Hart for February 04, 2021

Stupid Ducks!

You “form up,” then DIVE Bomb!

You’re “Stukas” not “water fowl!!” ;)

“Circle the Wagons.” “Hunter, we don’t have it out for you. We just came to protect you. We’re surrounding you with our love and care.”

I noticed there don’t seem to be any new “Back to B.C.” strips. Does anyone know why? I’m guessing these guys sued them for copyright infringement. I mean, the other strip even uses “Hart” as the creator’s name! And the “Wizard of Id Classics” have vanished too!

Reminds me of the “Bummer of a birthmark” cartoon on Far Side years ago…

Some birds do an aeronautical equivalent of what is known in fish as a “bait ball.” The worst place to be when attacked by a predator is on on the periphery of the flock or school. So every individual flies/swims to the center.

Sometimes the swirling mass confuses the predator.

That would be they have it in for you. Not have it out for you.

DUCK!

Bullseye!

I guess we know who peed in the duck pool. (So I had to look up peed, as I rarely write it but often say it. Odd, that.)

This could get political pretty easily.

Good luck hitting a bird in flight with a bow and arrow.

It should be ‘have it in for me’…

Reminds me of the big sale at Target, but I hate all of their Covid questions and taking my temperature at the door.

If the hunter is like most, the safest place to be is where he’s aiming.

Circling the wagons is what management does when a bully is implicated by a target. The target of the bully is then pushed out of the organization. Today’s comic is a good visual metaphor for this process.

Thanks for an empathetic smile!

Lufbery circle . . . .

Around and around and around they go.
