Off the Mark by Mark Parisi for July 30, 2017

And it’s Tweety by a knock out!

Hey, fighting is no way to decide who’s the cutest!

If it were, since there’s yet a third one,

and he could take ’em both out with one wing tied behind his back…

Big Bird would have to be declared the cutest yellow birdie on the planet!

Nah…I’m going with Woodstock. Not only is he cool, but his name has a nice, laid-back ’60’s vibe.

Well, if it’s a fight, Tweety would kick Woodstock’s fragile little hide. But then cuteness has never been decided by a knock-down drag-out fight.

Which one of the Looneys eats the loser?

What a nice set up here. Wonderful.

Somehow, I’m a tad surprised that Sylvester is on Tweety’s side of the house. Why root for the creature you have spent a career trying to kill and presumably eat?

Happy International Day of Friendship Everyone.

It was a draw.

Shouldn’t this be a “cage fight”?

I don’t care who you are, that there is funny!

Love this one! And a funny thing is, Warner Bros., who owns the Looney Tunes, also has the home video rights to the Peanuts specials!

Neither one looks very cute right now.

Love the crowd!

Hey! Each one looks flawed somehow.

The fight is between two cute birds to decide supremacy, not “cutest”. Read it!

I’ll bet on Woodstock too. He plays a mean tennis, ice hockey, and has endured long winters without flying south.

Fun collection of characters here. Made me smile.

Tweety wins because he’s a stinker ain’t he. (Taz got dibs on loser)

I vote for Tweety!

Nice job, Mr. Parisi! Well drawn!

I notice Granny is missing. I wonder if the timing is a coincidence?

I never said I thought big Bird was the cutest…

I said if winning a fight were what determined it, he’d be declared the cutest.

After all, he’s about 7 feet tall.

 

Yes, good one, J Short!

And hi Arianne.

 

Picky… To me, a fight for “cute-yellow-bird supremacy” means the winner is the supreme example of the category, ie, in this case, the cutest yellow bird.

The supremacy isn’t about strength or power.

Otherwise, every title of supreme anything could be decided by a physical battle, and won by the one who could beat the others up…

Ie, “supreme chocolate chip cookie baker” would see the final two grannies getting in the ring.

Who would win a shouting match between Lucy and Yosemite Sam?

I miss Elmer.

Rest in peace, June Foray. Your voice brought joy and entertainment to millions!

Of those who voted, Tweety won it, 4 to 3.

Let’s see of the two of them Tweety can be a bit of a dirty fighter. How many times have we seen him smack Sylvester with a doant wooden mallet? We also have the fact Woodstock is known for flying upside down and smacking himself into a tree. Early odds put Tweety as the favorite to win.

However,don’t count Woodstock out completely. He could use his reputation to his advantage and lure Tweety into a false sense of security before and be like one of those “Drunken” Kung Fu masters.

Winner gets their own banana tree.
