Panel 1: The cats order a turkey into an open red-hot oven.
Panel 2:
Turkey: I opt out.
Panel 3:
Bink (bearing claws): Then we get to give you a pat-down!
Chloe: Cat-down.
Panel 4: The turkey flies away.
Bink: Hey! You either get the pat-down or you don’t fly!
Chloe: I didn’t know turkeys could fly.
“It’s a helicopter, and it’s coming this way. It’s flying something behind it, I can’t quite make it out, it’s a large banner and it says, uh – Happy… Thaaaaanksss… giving! … From … W … K … R… P!! No parachutes yet. Can’t be skydivers… I can’t tell just yet what they are, but – Oh my God, Johnny, they’re turkeys!! Johnny, can you get this? Oh, they’re plunging to the earth right in front of our eyes! One just went through the windshield of a parked car! Oh, the humanity! The turkeys are hitting the ground like sacks of wet cement! Not since the Hindenberg tragedy has there been anything like this!” – Les Nessman
“As God as my witness, I thought turkeys could fly” – Arthur Carlson
I’m like…5 or something (mathisdumb) months late, but that is my favorite episode of anything ever. Our local hockey team (in Cincinnati, no less) drops toy turkeys from the rafters with parachutes every Thanksgiving.
I thought about that WKRP episode too. I remember laughing so hard my sides hurt… especially when Mr. Carlson came into the station covered in feathers, with that woebegone look on his face.
Bad turkey! You’re supposed to “sense your destiny” and charge in head-first!
Cool… very political and relevant.
i like binks teeth
This is getting really abstract . . .

Well done! Just like people coming out of the “safe” scanners, actually.

Hahahahaha, you beat me to the WKRP reference. At least I don’t feel like I’m the only oldie here how!

I don’t know why, but I really like Bink and Chloe on panel 1
I like the big sad eyes on the turkey.
Hey is this the first time an animal besides bink and chloe talk? (Holograms don’t count)
The expression on the faces of Bink & Chloe panel 1 reminds me of “Children of the Corn.” < :-O
Wild turkeys fly, albeit somewhat clumsily. Some domestic breeds get so heavy that they have trouble walking.
LOL, d-mn TSA screeners, keep your hands to yourself, and your machines too.
