Free Range by Bill Whitehead for September 26, 2024

Is someone going to make a hooter joke?

Guess Who.

Check the "ark"ives.

No one here gives a…never mind.

Love all those big-eyed expressions. ♥

Or ask him how many licks does it take to get to the Tootsie Roll center of a Tootsie Pop?

The old hootie owl hootie hoos to the dove

“Tammy’s in love”

They all must live in Hooterville. (And if you get that reference, you’re old like me.)

“I’d tell you, but I just don’t give a hoot.”

Rockin’ Robin, of course:

♪ The wise old owl ♪ the big black crow ♪ flapping their wings singing go bird go… ♪

Why?

What?

Where?

The Blowfish are in the creek I guess.

The ones that let the dogs out

I love hearing the owl that circulates around the area here, always makes me smile. Then I thank it for catching rodents.

Maybe it’s a short-eared owl: Who cooks for you?

Are you and that other owl in cahoots?

Who let the Bird out? Who? Who? Who? Who?

What do you call a wet Owl?

two tooters who tooted a flute, tried to teach two young tooters to toot, said the two to the tooter “is it harder to toot? or to teach two young tooters to toot??” (wish I could say I made that up, but I just happen to recall that from a book called Bennet Cerf’s Houseful of Laughter… an’ I know it has nothing to do with the strip, other than “who” reminded me of “hoot”, which reminded me of “toot”, which reminded me of the poem… at least my memory still works on some things!)

Whoever.
