Ziggy by Tom Wilson & Tom II for October 05, 2024

Witness protection? Or maybe just a craving for privacy.

He gets marx for making you grouchie

Obveeously he the green bird of humour.

Incognito.

I used to hear multifarious bird calls coming from an unseen bird in a tree, and automatically assume it was a mockingbird. Then I found out that brown thrashers also mimic other birds as well, even better than mockingbirds. So I no longer assume that.

With the power vested in me (and in my vest), I dub this comic as the best comic of the day!

Even in disguise, Ziggy should be able to identify Josh.

And he doesn’t need a Bird I.D. Guide.

I believe that’s an owl. Owls have really big, staring eyes!

He knew you were coming, Zig!

That’s because he wants his privacy, too!

It turns out to be a lot harder than one would think to identify birds. Unless you have some bright, male, Spring plumage to go on, there are literally a lot of “gray areas”. Birds don’t breed into easily classifiable markings categories.

Funny

What’s the secret word?

For that bird, Ziggy need a Bird Ego Guide.

It’s obviously a mockingbird
