This week, it happened again. Pigeons -- this time, a pair of them in the news -- causing chaos trying to stow away on a Delta flight from Minneapolis to Madison, Wisconsin.
The plane was delayed almost an hour while passengers and flight crew and finally a baggage handler managed to corral the pigeons and remove them from the plane. Quite the drama.
I'm guessing they were a pair, looking for a place to nest. It's that time of year. Or maybe they climbed aboard hoping for a bag of pretzels. Sadly those short hop flights no longer have snacks.
I hope they were set free together to continue their quest.
Had my Jerry been on that plane, or even heard about the drama, he'd have been inspired to immortalize those pigeons in cartoons.
So I leave you this week with some of Jerry's birdiest handiwork.
First, from a series he called, "Hair Club for Penguins"...
AND more Hair Club for Penguins--
And a startled parakeet...
He also had a series, Hair Club for Chihuahuas and Hair Club for Slugs and Hair Club for Rabid Raccoons. Also Hair Club for Aardvarks and Hair Club for Philodendrens and Hair Club for 6-week-old Whoppers. (Jerry himself was nearly bald but handsome as ever.)
And, of course, all of that inspired Hare Club for Men. (He was a big punner.)
He had a very bizarre sense of humor. For the birds, you might say.
