Happy X-Day!
Welcome to my website about comics. In today's comic, a little bird dies -- could it possibly get any funnier?!?! Find out on Friday. Good thing this site is automated... since I plan to be taken away on a UFO this morning.
This comic is in the storyline:
- Old Comics
The site started with "cleaned up" comics from my old sketchbooks, which go back almost fifteen years. Eventually I ran out and had to come up with new things! That was a terrifying moment.
Text transcript
[[Rabid is lying on his belly in the grass out in a field. A baby bird is lying on its back, crying out.]] Bird: peep peep Rabid: How unfortunate! A wounded baby bird! I will take it to the Doctor, for surely HE will be able to help the poor thing. [[On his way to Dr Quickly to find help for the baby bird, Rabid encounters Rabish.]] Rabish: Rabid! You shouldn't be touching it, directly -- the mama bird will smell you and reject the little critter! Rabid: Not at all, my dear, for birds have a very limited sense of smell! Rabish: Oh. [[Although Rabid is strictly correct, he is in his excitement waving the baby bird around quite dangerously.]] [[Dr Quickly now is examining the baby bird in his laboratory.]] Dr Quickly: Hm... a broken wing... Rabid: Do what you can to save it! Please! Dr Quickly: Certainly! [[A small electrical instrument, a box with a glass front and a panel of buttons, sits on a table. The bird has been placed inside.]] Dr Quickly: I have placed the bird in my BONALYZER, and set it to 'Boner' -- the reverse setting being 'Debonair'. Rabid: Ah. [[Rabid and Dr Quickly watch the bonalyzer as it hums and a pale steam leaks from behind the glass front.]] <<beep beep beep beep beep>> Dr Quickly: Aha! Done! [[Dr Quickly lifts up the tray the bird lies upon, the bird which is now dead, roasted through.]] Dr Quickly: Oh dear... it seems I put it in the microwave by accident. [[Rabid eats a piece of the bird.]] Rabid: I love happy endings! Dr Quickly: Careful! It's still cooking! Rabid: Yum!
