After having heard of “Last of the Mohicans” all my life I finally read it recently. Buy, that was a long slog! Glad I did, but doubt I’ll do it again.
Poultry in motion. Yes, it’s a lot like the previous Friday’s ‘toon. I actually drew them both on the same day. Couldn’t decide which I liked better, so I ran them both.
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.
