Birdbrains by Thom Bluemel for April 10, 2010

What’s wrong with this picture?

Good Morning Thom and Everyone

There’s a face on the face of the lady in the picture on the wall. Very sneaky, Thom!

She just has a v-e-r-y l-o-n-g upper lip.

Naw! Aunt Millie is just standing behind her!

God help that bird if that cat gets out. LMAO

That’s the biggest catbird I’ve ever saw.

I’m almost geting the reference, but it’s not hapening… anyone?

I’m inclined to agree with you Joe, but it could be interpreted either way I guess.

Better keep you distance, bird. Clarence looks dressed to kill.

Either way, the cat looks a little steamed…

Kitten In A Cage, that would be a great title for a sexploitation film.

La la la la la La la la la la No faces can hurt me In my special happy place La la la la la La la la la la.

Re the picture: It’s like one of those puzzles where it could be interpreted either way. I see two different faces. One with her eyes shut and (possibly) glasses pushed up. In the other, the woman has eyes practically on top of her head, a very broad nose, an elongated upper lip and – from the looks of it – either jowls or long ears. Hmmm.

Re the bird: cool trick – and I think we can tell whose side the person in the painting was on.

Yeah, cdward, the picture on the wall is two-faced.

At first, I read the name as Clarice.

For Lewreader:

Despite all his rage he is still just a cat in a cage.

J. Geils Band, “Rage In the Cage”

And no one is wondering just how the bird got out and the cat got in? That’s not stupidity, that’s a miracle!

I’ve heard of “Cage the Elephant” (a band), but “Cage the Cat” sounds a lot better.

Johanan I had assumed that the cage was two pieces a base and the cage itself. Now that you mention it, I notice that the bars seem to go through the cat. I am offended!

Good Morning, LuvH8!

I would say the cat feels a little bit st-u-u-ued not stupid.

LOL Thom Good one. Clarence looks fit to kill, if only he could get out!

Carmy The young face is prettier. Do you think it is a reference to Dorian Grey? (Whose young face grew old in the mirror?)

Nah!

I swear, when I first saw this comic it was in color…. What happened overnight? Am i crazy? Don’t answer that!

Think birdie was watching Looney Tunes?

@WoodEye: Suuure, it was in colour! I believe you. There, there, calm down. LOL!

Do not go gentle into that good cage.

Good Evening Lonewolf & Everyone!
