okay, the seagulls and the “gorilla in swim trunks” it’s not something we normally expect for Jon at the beach. but the jellyfish, crab, AND baby shark…he really has to be that nuts at MINIMAL…
(imagines a different version of this part of the dialogue in this cartoon (in a circle similar to the one involving this other part of its dialogue: “IS THAT A GORILLA IN SWIM TRUNKS?”))
I live near the coast – with lots of seagulls. (People here like to call them air rats) But I shop at a discount store with a very large, and usually empty parking lot full of gulls. I probably shouldn’t do this, but sometimes I buy a cheap bag of a snack like pop corn and when I leave, go to the far corner of the lot and feed the gulls. It’s pretty fun entertainment for me.
the seagulls don’t normally swarm people like that, BUT if you take one step away from your food you will see exactly this. I was on vacation a couple months ago and saw a woman set her food on a beach table, she then stepped away to get napkins and condiments from the station less than 10 feet away, but as soon (like the VERY second) her food was alone over 30 seagulls swarmed the table and ate all of her fries within seconds. Her burger was safe because it was in a closed box, but all of us on the beach god a good chuckle out of the spectacle. (I had eaten at one of those tables as well, but the birds kept there distance because you know, I was THERE)

That pile of seagulls reminds me of the time Garfield took a slice of bread and he also got attacked by seagulls.
