    If George is a skua gull, he’s just waiting for Morty to turn his back so he can have an egg for breakfast.

    The harsh natural selection operating in the Antarctic favors female Emperor Penguins who have learned to supplement their normal diet of polar cod, glacial squid and krill . . . with rum daiquiris and Piña Coladas.

    Kind of like Horton the Elephant and Maisie.

    George’s first speech balloon is heavily ironic if seen in the context of what’s going on in Jim Meddick’s Monty! Here, Mrs. Morty is refining her evolutionary skills, and I approve this message.

    And there was the sadistic beachcomber who left no tern unstoned.

    I’d enjoy having $1 for every female human who wants our species to have a similar setup!

    He’s apparently watching “this” egg freeze… Doesn’t have it on his feet, wrapped in his “fur”, as he should. (*Not “my” egg?)

    What does she do? She gave birth to the egg! Her vacation is well deserved.

    She subscribes to the fact that it’s ALWAYS 5 o’clock in the afternoon somewhere on earth.

    I am happy to see that Stephan left the polar bear out of the forth panel, as everyone knows that polar bears don’t frequent tropical resort beaches, and he doesn’t like starting controversy . . . ☻

    Beginning to think that Stephen finally ran out of crocs. Time for a party at Zebra’s place.

    Of course we know that in reality, emperor penguins don’t hatch their eggs on ice floes; they travel many miles inland before laying their eggs.

    Drat, got here late. Youse guys have taken all the good tern jokes…There might be one in here linking sterna vittata with hakuna matata, but then Pastis would have to bring in a lion, and he traded them for crocs 10 years ago…

    I thought Wifey was eaten by the polar bear. I guess even he couldn’t stand her for long.

    Is that the same tropical island where Zebra was marooned?

    Female Emperor penguins go to sea to feed during egg incubation so they can come back and take over once it hatches. And you think she’s earned a vacation for laying the egg, what about Mama Kiwi. She’s the size of a chicken, but her egg is 6 times the size of a chicken egg.

    No, not to prepare her for MOTHERHOOD. To prepare her for having a TEENAGER.

    I half-expected a “one good tern” pun or something to that effect.
