That whale looks like a tough guy. Those
birds have a lot of weight to carry, but they
are doing it! Looks like a fun ride to me! Good way to see
the city. Floating along... way up high. You
must have dreamt it.
I hope that's not a man in a Superman outfit
standing on that far building, because then
the comic will be taking a turn toward the
Chris Ware-ian depressing...
Hmmm...I don't know 'bout twitter, but it
looks like they r back in Seattle with teh
whales--I'm checking out teh gum wall 4 teh
signs...
(las' time I signed up with twitter, I
accidentally sent invitations to everyone in
my address book--including teh evil boss...I
was at work...no moar twittering 4 me.)
Curiously enough, the only thing that went
through the mind of the stick figure as it
fell was Oh no, not again. Many people have
speculated that if we knew exactly why the
stick figure had thought that we would know a
lot more about the Universe than we do now.
Lovingly re-worded from DNA.
@Bugmaker: So does that make him a hot-air
baleen?
Thanks everybody! The most recent one is always my favorite
one, then when a new one comes along I loathe
the previous one. Thankyouverymuchsir! That someone is me. And lots of coughing.

Reminds me of a scene in Monty Python's Holy Grail.
Soldier: It's not a question of where he grips it! It's a simple question of weight ratios! A five ounce bird could not carry a one pound coconut.

Love the Whale. I like cigar hanging out of his mouth, it gives him lots of personality.
