Hummingbirds on vacation
Alt text:
Dad! Dad! There’s a feeder! … Can we stop?
“We stopped TEN MINUTES ago!”
“We have nectar at home!”
The nectar at home: a dirty flower.
But we’re on vacation!
It’s like a giant M on a pole along the highway and kids are suddenly starving
its amazing how many of these I have not seen given how many I have seen. Love this one.
“Are we there yet?”
“No”
“Are we there yet?”
“No”
“Are we there yet?”
“No”But seriously, hummingbird migration distances are amazing in relation to their size.

Weird choice of bird given how often hummingbirds need to eat
A lot of Far Side comics don’t make a lot of sense. They were much more funny 30 years ago, when I was 9 and didn’t have ubiquitous internet access that allowed me to easily fact check this stuff.
I love the iconic Far Side glasses on the mother bird.
Nice catch!
