“Over the years, there has been a persistent and rather macabre urban myth circulating that gulls will explode if they’re fed Alka-Seltzer. Sadly, we’re here to inform you that this isn’t true. Though the myth has many subtle variations depending on where exactly you’re reading it, it basically reads as follows. If you feed a hungry gull an Alka-Seltzer tablet or a similar product upon hitting the bird’s stomach, the tablet will work its magic and cause the gull to violently explode into a cloud of feathers and intestinal confetti. FALSE! As veterinarian Mike Murray explains, just because birds don’t typically pass gas, it doesn’t mean their bodies aren’t equipped to do so if necessary; if a bird ever needed to burp or f*rt (GC Banned list?! Seriously!?), it could; it’s just that its diet doesn’t typically require it to need to.” Gizmodo
All these crabs were piled up in a trough at the fish market. Dad thought they might be dead. He reached for one. It reached back. Dad moved pretty fast. They both missed.

Some distiller is making booze out of an invasive species of crab.

In Wallace’s defense, Spud clearly said “Lemme see.“

And how bad does Wallace feel about losing the “whole bucket” of crabs

Spud may not have liked it but the Seagull did.

The rock wasn’t there in the first panel (could it have done that On Purpose?!)

I like to imagine that the crabs all clung to Spud’s body, while the newly emptied bucket got stuck on his head.

They don’t call Spud ‘bucket head’ for nothing
