Shoe by Gary Brookins and Susie MacNelly for March 07, 2023

I have a cake with a hacksaw inside…..

I guess a cell resident doesn’t have a cell phone.

Maybe the jailbird can just fly out of the prison recreation yard.

What’s good about it ? I’m not on that side of the glass now am I !

Probably Shoe and definitely Cosmo are too heavy—they are flightless birds, and thus not a flight risk if in jail.

I’ve been watching prisons tonight on Philo TV, the city lock up in LA is pretty bleak. But in an interview with an older guard from Attica (different show) he said MOST of the troubles with prisons is when they started sentencing innocent people to prison for marijuana. And he ain’t lying!

He’s also on the wrong side of the window.

Is that Shoe’s father?

He must be a bad person to be a bird under glass.

It WAS a good morning, then the alarmclock went off.

Woke up on the wrong side of the cell, said the nucleus to the cytoplasm.

Irritable Fowl Syndrome.

You’re breathing, Cosmo, and that’s definitely a good thing.

Only a bird in a gilded cage..

Trump’s next interview

There’s a right side?

Shoe now ponders whether to choose a side.

In the second panel, that bird sort of looks like Dilbert with a beak.

…and hit my head on the opposite wall. Again.
