Birdbrains by Thom Bluemel for August 06, 2010

Good morning, Birdbrainiacs! C’mon, Mrs. Sugarbelly! Spill your guts!

Is that a SQUIRREL on his head?

So will she be sweet or sour?

The Piñatas court Sponsored by all of that delicious mouth watering candy. I got me a sweet tooth.

Don’t matter about my candy, the fact is he HIT me… you idiot!

exactly, Powerboy! just because he didn’t hit her hard enough to break her open doesn’t mean he’s innocent of assault (though it does mean he’s likely to get off on an attempted murder charge). however, i find domestic violence to be offensive. congratulations, Thom

A little too close for home on this one today. We just had a case in our town where the guy arrested for domestic violence made bail then snuck back to his home and killed his wife.

Mrs Sugarbelly, though seldom asked in domestic court, who hit who first? Was not my client too embarrassed to call 911 and say “My wife is threatening me with a lollipop?” Were not the sugar police called to your gingerbread house the last time you gave him a licking?Did you not take Mr Sugarbelly out for a bite. Your honor, I think we can see the real victim of this crime perpetrated by a long held sexist myth. Feminist pinatas have been fooling the courts for years that they are always the victims.Sugar highs and sugar rages are experienced by both sexes but are misrepresented by the reports. If you look at my clients back you will see licorice whip welts suffered for years in silence due to embarrassment.Your Honor, don’t sugar coat this. Little girls are not sugar and spice and everything nice.

Why does the judge have a sour look on his face?

Good Morning Thom & Everyone

TGIF!!

Objection, your honor. The defense council is out of order.

LuvH8, I’d say it looks more like a bird of paradise but I don’t think Donald Trump is a lawyer so we’re probably both wrong.

—- spit take! —–

good one, thom!

Isn’t her husband the notorious wrapper Can D Sucka?

Why am I reminded of a couple who both got arrested for domestic violence? They were drinking & arguing, one of them said, “Bite me.” So, the other spouse did. I don’t remember which one called 911, but they both got thrown into jail for the night.

Mornin’ everyone!

Anything to get off on a technicality.

Lewreader:

Either your post needs a sarcasm warning or you have just gone beyond the pale and posted the stupidest most disgusting most lying post ever!

I would not dispute the fact that women are just as capable of domestic violence as men. In fact it must be much harder for men to bring charges against female (and male) partners.

This does not diminish the terrible reality of male perpetrated domestic abuse. You have trivialized the worst kind of criminal behavior in your inexcusable post.

BTW Most of those working to end domestic abuse acknowledge that perpetrators come in all genders. To imply otherwise is totally dishonest.

Hey, listen up! We’re not onkly dealing with assault here, but an actual battery! Felony stuff…

LuvH8 Re: “Is that a SQUIRREL on his head?”

I agree - looks like “Bob The Squirrel” is making a guest appearance today☺

poohbear8192, you can count on Lewreader’s posts to be leavened consistently with a high degree of sarcasm and irony. It’s probably a side effect of the meds he takes to stop him from seeing faces that aren’t there on Birdbrains (in-joke).

Sorry that you’re offended at his post. I’m surprised you aren’t offended at the comic too for the same reason. After all, we loyal readers routinely get offended at the cartoons here: sometimes in fun, sometimes not.

It wasn’t Mr. Sugarbelly, it was the Blindfolded Toddler!!!!

I guess the Sugarbellys are too full of sugar to be in touch with reality?

Johanan

I WAS offended by the comic.

Regardless of possible sarcasm either by Thom or Lew the execution is too far over the top to be taken lightly and the topic is too heavy to spoof in this kind of setting.

On the other hand, I have gone over the top with sarcasm too and have been deleted as a result. I’d like to know how the comic and Lew’s comment was meant.

The humor could have been much better (if the general point was indeed Piñatas) if the “perps” had been a screaming gang of jolly children.

@JFri, Ugh! You just had to go and say it!

@LuvH8, I didn’t see a squirrel in anyone’s hair, but the cowlick in the back of the lawyer does look rather like a Persian cat to me.

POOHBEAR You can’t honestly believe the percentages of reported violence in any way reflect reality.

While sleeping, i was assaulted with a baseball bat. I told the police I fell out of bed. The doctor who stapled my head said I fell three times. After A night in jail, the female judge charged me with false statement, raised the bail, and put a restraining order on my house where the occasional girlfriend was staying. They don’t give free lawyers and help to battered men. If you don’t think this kind of prejudice is happening every day, you are nuts, If the police respond to a domestic in my state, one or both go to jail. But women don’t have the hormones to fight. Go down Macy’s on sale day.

Infanticide? Male or female commit this more? Yeah, sugar and spice. Next time miss goody two shoes raises a bat she’s spending time in the cross-bars hotel. And I’ll wear the title as a wimp who couldn’t defend himself from a woman..

Bmonk the SQUIRREL is pretending to be the lawyer’s hair. And yes, there is a big face on the SQUIRREL.

Many faces in/on lawyer’s suit.

Y I K E S!!! (Wish I could say that in font 20 Bold but I don’t know how.)
