B.C. by Mastroianni and Hart for April 15, 2022

This very much reminds me of Hitchcock’s “The Birds”.

If you build it they will come!

And before anyone asks “where did he get the nails”….carpenters made wooden nails/pegs to assemble things before metal nails were invented…or cut the wood so the joints would fit tightly together.

This was a good LOL.

They want french fries

Thor: “What do you all want?”

“You made a park bench. Now we are waiting for you to make a park statue on a pedestal to poop on.”

Great invention! Now do popcorn.

I thought you went saw saw saw saw saw then hammer hammer hammer hammer hammer!

“Build it and they will come.”

Is he sitting on the WET PAINT sign?

Birds with fat bodies, no wings, short tail = lunch.

Are the birds afoot because he cut down their tree?

Where’s Arte Johnson when you need him…heh heh heh

If you build it, they will come. Now, about that statue?

Funny: The NY Times just had an article explaining pigeons: https://www.nytimes.com/2022/04/12/science/pigeons-facts.html -and I posted a comment there; I wrote about the piece from which I learned the most about pigeons. Here’s my NY Times comment: My mind immediately goes to E. B. White’s piece, “The Rock Dove.” He wrote it to answer the questions of a Ms. Eugenia Bedell in “Promenade” magazine. It was first a “Comment” note, then was published under the title, “The Rock Dove” (April 20, 1957) in “The New Yorker” magazine. The piece was included in “The Points of My Compass” (Harper & Row, 1962) and, almost a score of years later, in “Poems and Sketches of E. B. White” (Harper & Row, 1981). Mr. White even drew pictures-well, four “figures,” line drawings. Such were the days, pre-computer.

And so it begins.

or maybe he also invented doordash. yummy chicken nuggets

He could probably have gotten the real thing with a few cookies’ crumbs.

He forgot the popcorn

If you build it, they will come.

Prehistoric pigeon? The prehistoric pigeon: Small bird that flew above the dinosaurs 120 million years ago is unearthed in Japan – and it could rewrite the history of flight…

If I had a hammer I’d hammer in the morning.

If you want popcorn, go see Ziggy!

Just realized, birds are Democrates. Eventually someone will feed you…

Build it and they will come…..where’s the breadcrumbs?

What did you expect? You built the bench…

If you build it …..they will come

he got the nails , saw, hammer from the comic strip store .

Love it!

And so it begins….

At least he didn’t build it under a tree.

I always wondered about the draw of pigeons to park benches, like Labrador retrievers and us putting on shoes.

Too bad popcorn wasn’t invented back then.

So it was park benches that first attracted the pigeons, always thought it was the statues.

And next, the squirrels,

Dude, you forgot the popcorn!!!!

Build it and they will come?

Ought to be stickies (do they still call them that?) up top that state that this a comic strip and the timing of any and all inventions, overlap between people and dinosaurs, etc., is completely arbitrary and possible.

That is the same look I get 5 minutes before my dog is supposed to have dinner. Breakfast is always right after our morning walk, and the time will vary.

Ahh, he’s discovered a new species of bird. He must be living in the Jurassic

This is like adding a new phone line and being inundated with phone calls about your auto warranty expiring.

If you build it, they will come.

Back in the day Hart would always do a Good Friday comic!

In a strip that mixes mammals with dinosaurs, the birds are a lot closer to possibility.

But we’re modern now. After all this is the 8th century B.C. we’re living in !!

Those birds are going to have a very long wait until bread is invented.

If you build it they will come.

Thor: “What are looking at?”
