Over the Hedge by T Lewis and Michael Fry for November 28, 2021

From the leader back, each goose lowers the air resistance for the one following. You’d think Verne would have looked it up, and RJ would call it “breaking wind.”

They fly in a V formation because if they survive the hunters on their migration and reach their destination it’s a Victory.

Nascar fans call it "Drafting " ;-)

Disney Geese

It’s instinct, I guess.

It helps them to get through the clouds (it´s pointed, see)

Sheep fly in a “Q” formation.

This reminds me of a “Mother Goose and Grimm” comic strip where Grimm and Attila had the same conversation, with Attila asking that question, while Grimm answers “Maybe G’s are too hard”.

Now I know!

It would have been better if there were more birds in the back saying, “And another thing…”

“Lock S-foils in attack position.”

Because there is no “I” in flock.

You might see an X formation when two different flocks are about to collide.

“You idiots! South is THAT way!”

I can’t believe no one else has yet remarked that “weird” is misspelled … but then, they are geese.

Also: You may have noticed one leg of the “V” is always longer than the other. The reason is very simple:

More geese in it.
