Mr_Rose:
OK, look, I dunno how many of you guys have ever actually hung out with owls before, but I'm telling you now: Owls are stupid. Dumb as a sack of rocks covered in feathers. Really. They didn't get all that stealth shit by thinking about it, and now they have it, they have even less of a reason to try too hard.
I've seen one fall off its perch (the same one it'd been using for a year or so) because it took one foot off to adjust its position and missed when putting it back down. They also have the most amazing knack for getting "stuck" in places they walked into (and complaining about it loudly) because despite being able to turn their heads around almost 180° they have no idea how to walk backwards.

I can totally see a slightly confused owl mistaking Marten for a small rodent and having a go.

akronnick:
Wait...

Are the rocks themselves covered with feathers or is it the sack as a whole?




This is Very Important!

PureLionHeart:
Thank fuck!

They move on, Marten takes up owl hunting as a way to relieve stress, that stupid sexual harassment talk is over with, and we can get back to thinking about the important things in the comic: Marten's mom showing up and putting Dora and a group of endangered owls in two separate, soon-to-explode buildings and giving Pizza Girl the wrong addresses on purpose.

Re: today's comic - At least she didn't say "space owls."

And then it will occur to him that Faye must have had a good reason to blame the sore skull on the owls, rather than tell him what really caused it, and then he will hopefully drop the matter without saying something, because he really should trust Faye about these things. She's definitely a better influence than the beast of bourbon.

Indeed - keep in mind that he was present for Faye's explanation that space owls attacked Agent Turing. (Never mind that Jeph said that he forgot about that one, but it still works.)

That said... Veronica is coming to town very soon. She may well see the lump on his head, and start asking questions. Then things will get interesting...
