I honestly don’t get this one… Like I get the comic but unless there’s something I’m missing I don’t understand the actual joke here. I know it’s a typical Far Side “what if humans, but animals?” comic, but I don’t get what’s being swapped out here. Is the joke that flies would call the news “poop”? Is the joke that the actual news is that there is poop?
In human news they would have cliffhangers that are supposed to get people excited about staying up till 11 watch the news. So, murderer on the loose in your neighborhood, more at eleven.
In this case the thing that will get the flies excited enough to keep watching is to say there is poop coming up.
Wow, the political implications of this are staggering…
Dude has 5 coconuts left in the world, so he’ll sacrifice at least one just to hurt the other guy - unless I am missing some other connotation? (the only other thing I can come up with is that he’ll gamble on those, just to get access to the other +2)
Yeah he is gonna make a hammock and is smiling cause he knows how great it will be to sleep in. Mabe his friend will come over and hang out with him too.
Some would say this is an analogy on how Israel looks at Palestine, even though they already have the better side with the help of top-notch (ACME) weapons from outside (a sling, maybe because of the implications of the David and Goliath story?). Others say he’s horny and wants to fling himself directly onto the other. I’m with the horny camp 100%.
