1021: "Business cat"

Wonderful comic!

I perceived it as a statement on how often we, as humans, try to sell things that we don't actually have any right to own in the first place. Like seagulls. Or land, or people from Africa. What is wrong with us?

And, thus, the couple run across the sign on their romantic walk down the beach, and it puzzles them and makes them sad and ruins their whole morning. Crap.

I'm assuming for the sake of beret guy's integrity that he put up the sign just to make the point.

That actually happened.
Search "VENDEDOR DE PALOMAS VERSION EXTENDIDA" on YouTube, it's a video from 2 years ago of a chilean hobo selling doves.
(I've tried to post the link, but as a new member I'm not allowed to do that).

[PaLaDiN-X]

I has already done, there is a video on youtube of a man selling pidgeons, sadly, they dont let me put links but you can search it:
"vendiendo palomas" which means selling pidgeons.
its ~1 dollar each if someone is interested.

Their main form of payment is beach coins found with a metal detector while wearing blacks socks and white tennis shoes.

What's the exchange rate for BeachCoins to BitCoins?

You got beaten up by 2-3 years:

You'd have to be gullible to fall for that.

Phooey. That was my joke. But you know the word "gullible" isn't in the dictionary, don't you?

Wait, it isn't?

*Checks dictionary*

Huh. Turns out it really isn't.

This is wholeheartedly wrong, I don't know how many of you have firsthand experience with seagulls but if you throw food -even one moldy french fry- 50 to a 100 will show up and they will fight each other (to the death) over every molecule of it before flying off. It is possible that the seagulls ate untill they were full and can't fly from weight but I have never seen a seagull that has "eaten enough".

That is not my experience, though the flocks tend to be smaller here. I have never seen gulls fight to the death over food. In fact, when one gull spots a sufficient quantity of food (more than they want to eat?), they will call other seagulls over.

Yes, but those are Canadian seagulls!

Oddly, if you came back a few hours later you'd probably find money in the jar and few loose feathers on the ground. Hmm, summer's coming, maybe a trip to Revere Beach is in order.......

I still remember my visit to Pike's Market in Seattle. We didn't have time to actually go in, but while waiting to meet someone there, I wandered around the front a bit. It didn't take a forensic analyst to figure out from the feathers, bones and charred paper around a couple of trash cans that one very hungry homeless person, or a gaggle of them, had eschewed the fish and gone after the pigeons. I wonder how they taste barbequed, cf seagulls?

It will scream because yes food, but once the others show up they are grabbing food from each other's mouths. Evolutionally birds need to share food to survive, from seagulls, to vultures, to mama bird vomit but that doesn't mean they like it and they don't -to my main point- leave any on the ground. To clarify the to the death comment: I've never seen a seagull die over this but I have seen one bleed. But then again Florida is stereotypically seagully.

Best comic in a long time.

^_^

...Yep, this pretty much covers what some of my major is going to

YES.

You know, the funniest thing is to throw a the leftover's from a Thanksgiving turkey on the beach to them. They swarm. Especially when the business from Kelly's dies down more.

Odd. It's in mine: Right between "gulley²" and "Gulliver's Travels".

[greenba]

Note the representation of the ocean -- wonderfully realistic. Nice work!

My immediate response:


I'LL TAKE EIGHT!

[warbaker]

I liked it, but the mouseover text was a bit much, moving the tone from zen to zany.

[xaqrox]

Seems like the Facebook business plan. That works pretty well.

Lure in the users then leave it to the advertisers to catch them.

This is right.

[Nyktos]

I laughed out loud and I don't know why.

They are, aren't they, eh?

Try a Swedish dictionary.

[madjo]

Well beret guy, who is a recurring character, likes the obscure and abstract. His sense of humor is not what we'd call 'normal'. He's quite out there.

I loved this one, and if I had time I might even try something like this.

[Annihilist]

...I see what you did there -_-
