Funny… you look like an Eddie

so… what did you do with Eddie……. PHIL?

So Phil and Eddie are both staying for the winter, I guess.

That was an Eddie-Phil bit of knowledge. So Phil is going to keep the squirrel out of the bird house this winter?

He really ought to Eddie-fy them as to his name.

I’ve been called Eddie…ticked the heck out of my mom who wanted people to call me by my given name of Edward…

Prince of Insufficient Migratory Abilities?

Hi Eddie! Hi Eddie! ’Bye Eddie! First thing I thought of when I saw this strip was the scene in Roger Rabbit as Eddie Valiant is driving in to Toontown.

Phil must be a Sparrow and not fly south.

My great aunt Amy always called me Paul, then immediately corrected herself. Apparently some resemblance to Dad’s cousin Paul in our youths.

A Witness Protection Songbird.

So long as they don’t find out he’s really a Mockingbird with a Die job.

Could be worse, they could have called you Karen.

Name does not matter. What matters is the context. Little lucky birdie there.
