My first thought was a “feeling down” joke that might have been inappropriate. I like this one better. And since Flatfoot’s girlfriend is a chicken, that kind of ruined the first joke, anyway.
I really did think of this one in January. I thought about writing a note to myself and doing the strip next December, but I never see such notes again.
I started drawing Beaver with his tail up just to indicate that he is a beaver. But then, I realized real beavers didn’t do that. Mostly I don’t care (because they don’t wear caps, operate restaurants or get in fist-fights with possums, either) but then I started wondering WHY would this particular beaver carry his up like that? Now you know.
This one went over real well at my office, where we have IDT every week. I don’t know how people who don’t have such a meeting feel, but hopefully the gag is relatable.
