Equal opportunity bore
Kudzu, 11/19/04
Ah, Kudzu, never afraid to take on the tough, controversial topics. See, the strip sometimes takes a break from beating up on strawman caricatures of left-wing ideas to poke a little fun at prominent right-wing figures. Presumably this is to kowtow to the all-powerful liberals who run all aspects of this country (except for the Presidency, the Congress, and, coming soon, most of the Supreme Court). Anyway, proving once again that she’s the most pointless and out-of-place character in this strip, the parakeet (whose name I cannot be bothered to look up) manages to baffle America’s comics readership by (a) having a cell phone and (b) somehow, and for some reason, giving its number to Bill O’Reilly. (The fact that Bill O’Reilly wants to talk dirty on the phone to a bird will, sadly, not baffle America’s comics readership.)
Anyway, I thought I’d put this punchline to better use than Kudzu’s making of it:

And so, Mr. Marlette, how did Bill O’Reilly know the parrot said “hello” when it was expressed as a thought balloon.
And why would a parrot have a cell-phone anyway if it can’t talk?
Um, maybe I am taking this a little too seriously.

Re: Bob’s Family Circus – interracial pedophilia jokes always crack me up.

Is interracial pedophilia somehow EXTRA bad?

It’s also odd that the parakeet has hands.

Can you hear someone drool over the phone?

I actually liked this “Kudzu.” It’s so out of character for the comic, and I don’t mind pot shots at O’Reilly.
I don’t dare look at Bob’s FC. Profanity does not make everything funnier.

Unfortunately, it looks as though Bob’s FC is now out of commission; the link comes up as “not found” on his webpage.

Does it bother no one else that he is thinking into a telephone, and apparently getting a response for his troubles? If I had that kind of technology, my grandmother wouldn’t have to speak through a hole in her throat.
