Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for January 19, 2025

Petey has made the store birds very interesting.

The second one is a dodo. They used to live in what amounted to snack aisles – plenty of food, and no predators or worries.

Until the predators arrived, that is.

Kinda reminds me of Western educated liberals.

If the status quo was stable for a few million years, Petey’s explanation would actually be accurate. :)

Those who live in big-box home improvement stores think they’re way better at projects than they really are.

Also, this reminds me of some of Thompson’s “Richard’s Poor Almanac” panels.

HaHa- a rare tucaturkey !!! Follow its nose. It ALWAYS knows !!

Don’t forget the End Cap Raptors who feed off the carnage of the shopping cart collision on the blind corners.

They must be shopping at a Darwin Mart.

The bird in the cereal aisle is one the reasons why RFK Jr. is going to DC.

What about the ones who live in the deli dept?

I haven’t seen any wild birds in the store I usually go to for quite a while. I hope they’re all right.

My favorite ils the coffee aisle bird.

Awwww! Little tweety birds…..adapted to their environments.❤️☺️

Woodfield Mall in Schaumburg IL was constructed in 1969 and it still has families of birds that have lived and propagated within its confines.

I suppose those in the meat aisle have reverted to their dinosaur ancestors.

Wildlife officers made a startling discovery in the refrigerated aisle of Humboldt Park Aldi grocery store when they spotted a coyote hiding in the shelving. There is video out there.

It would probably be easier to ask one of them for help finding an item or reaching it! :)

Every Costco I have ever been in, from the SF Bay Area to Courtenay, BC, has had birds inside. You can’t always hear them, but if you look for them, you’ll soon see them.

I wonder if Petey has seen a turducken there?

Birds love Home Depot and Lowe’s too.
