bionicjoey,

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?

Tremble,

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.

bionicjoey,

Ah okay. That makes sense

Where’s the poop, Robin?

bionicjoey,

Oh shit. I didn’t even think of that. That makes a lot of sense.
