YOUR FAVORITE BIRDS
I LOVE BIRDS SO MUCH ASHWNSKSMDKDJDJDJ I DONT GET TI TALK ABOUT THEN A LOT THEYRE SO COOL
I do a bunch of bird photography and have been crossing of a bunch of target species on my list this year and I’d be ecstatic to hear yours lol-
oh god i love birds. i am not a bird fact person but i think birds are so cool
i love corvids so much. fully expect them to take over the world when humans eventually go extinct. especially crows but all corvids hold a special place in my heart
however. my favorite non-corvid bird? the american kestrel. i love them so much you don't even know
^ look at him. he is not a hawk (hence the url). the smallest raptor. he looks so judgemental.

The Katzenjammer Kids by Harold Knerr
TOP PANEL
[ID: Hans drives a speedboat towards Der Captain, who's frantically straddling a log and paddling away with a single oar. Fritz stands at the fore-end, hoisting their bulldog Rosie off a pulley attached to the bow. Der Captain turns around and looks, terrified, in Rosie's hungry eyes. /end]
MAIN COMIC:
[ID: Der Captain opens a trunk and puts it on its side with two bones inside as a trap for Rosie. The dog happily bounds along, none the wiser. The Kids peek out from behind one of the ship's cabins, worried. /end]
Hans: For der luf uf Mike!
Fritz: If dot ain't der limick?
Rosie: SNIFF? SNIFF?
[ID: Der Captain upturns the trunk and sits on the lid, trapping Rosie inside. He beckons der Inspector closer while the Kids run off. /end]
Captain: Hey, Inspector! Fetch us a rope und some flat-irons! I got somet'ing vot's got to be chucked oferboard!
Rosie: G-R-R!
Inspector: Vot's der looney scheme now?
[ID: On the level below, the Kids saw a hole in the deck of the boat and the bottom of the trunk, freeing Rosie. Fritz lowers her with a broom handle nailed into the hole cut in the floor. /end]
Hans: Vell, if it ain't our liddle friend, Rosie!
Fritz: Ve vouldn't efen let you flop down on der floor, Rosie! Dot shows der kind uf heart ve got!
[ID: Der Captain lifts the trunk up behind his back, not looking as he lifts it off the newly-bored floor. There's some iron weights tied to the handle on his side. Der Inspector watches patiently, hands behind his back. /end]
Captain: Now, dod-gast it, iss der end uf der finish uf der dum-svogglest kyoodle vot efer made a breakfast mit my leg!
Inspector: Eferyt'ing ain'd alvays vot it looks, Captain!
[ID: Der Captain pushes the empty trunk off the ship's railing and it SPLASH!es into the ocean. Meanwhile, the Kids replace the hole bored in the ship's deck, lifting Rosie back up with it. Der Captain & Inspector react with horror. /end]
Captain: Say...!
Inspector: Der qvicker der cheese it, der safer!
[ID: Der Captain rushes to climb atop the ship's cabin while der Inspector climbs the ropes holding up the mast. The Kids lower Rosie while she looks at Captain with the threat of death in her eyes. /end]
Inspector: Chimminy! Vot a jump!
Captain: I guess dot vill keep dot ding-jiggled kyoodled for a vhile!
Hans: Chust come back vun minute, Rosie!
Fritz: Ve von't keep you long!
[ID: The Kids tie another broom handle to Rosie's platform, raising her up to der Captain's eye level as he cowers on the roof. /end]
Captain: Vait vunce...
Rosie: G-r-r!
Inspector: It's no use, Captain! She lufs you!
Hans: So! Dot's better! Ain't it, Rosie?
[ID: Der Captain and Rosie get into a violent, blurry commotion on the roof of the cabin. /end]
[ID: The Kids lower Rosie and Fritz takes her in his arms while she happily licks his face. Der Captain peers into the hole and gives the Kids a furious stink-eye. /end]
Captain: So! Dot's it iss it? Now maybe comes der toining uf der dod-rotted vorm!
Hans: Ooh, look at der daylight in der deck!
Fritz: Did fat viskers try to chuck 'iddle Rosie in der big ocean?
[ID: Hans shoves the cut-out hole on a pole into der Captain's face, smacking him off the deck and into the air. /end]
Inspector: Did you smell somet'ing, Captain?
Captain: Ootch!
[ID: The Kids happily run over to Mama, who sits in an armchair, knitting a sock. Fritz holds a hardcover book high in the air and Rosie runs happily between them. /end]
Hans: Ooh, Mamma! Vould you listen to our 'ritmatick lesson?
Fritz: Ve studied all day long!
Mama: Chass, darling! Come und tell me vot iss it!
[ID: The Kids sit happily in Mama's lap as they all read from the book together. Der Captain peers out from a doorway behind them, shouldering a big wooden club. Rosie stands by Mama's feet and growls at him. /end]
Hans: Six times six iss sixty-six und six und six iss tventy!
Mama: But der book doesn't say it!
Fritz: Ven der six iss sick, he iss sicksty six!
Rosie: G-r-r-r-r!

Fritz, doomed for barking, gets permission to kyoodle all night
NOTE: The following item originally appeared in the Monday, Oct. 4, 1948, edition of the Albany Democrat-Herald.
LEBANON — Six persons living in trailer homes at Lowe's downtown park were saved from injury or possible death, and loss of their possessions, by a six-month-old puppy, "Fritz," who sensed danger when flames began sifting through walls of a nearby building early Saturday morning. Fritz aroused the sleeping occupants by his insistent barking.
Ronald Hix, owner of the pup, had planned to dispose of him because of night barking.
Fritz set up such a clamor that he awakened Lee Irvine in a neighboring trailer, who noticed the flames and roused residents. Occupants of three trailers parked next to the burning community building were removed without injury. A new Cadillac car was among possessions saved before flames destroyed the building.
Origin of the blaze was undetermined. Insurance amounting to $2,000 was reported carried.
Fritz has been given special permission to bark all he wants to, day or night.
