    And… enter some old friends I was expecting. Just not Ms. featherbrain for some reason.

      Niue and Goose Girl need to go on a wacky roadtrip adventure together, cruising across the country in an old convertible, screaming hysterically at everyone and everything they come across.

      “Welcome to McDonalds, can I take your order?”
      “YES!!! CAN YOU TELL US WHERE THE NEAREST TIM HORTON’S IS?!?”
      “AAAH! Don’t trust any of these monsters! They’re all wearing HATS!”
      “Umm… it’s part of the uniform, ma’am.”
      “Don’t you even SPEAK to me, you filthy DEMON! Stay back!”
      “NEVERMIND THE HATS!!! WHERE CAN I GET FISTFULS OF TIMBITS?!?”
      “I… uh… don’t know what that is.”

        I want this to happen more than air! I can just see them freshly newspapering the floor of the car at every reststop. I see them more as a minivan team than a convertible though, more room for the big waterbottle.

        It’d be brilliant! At the end, they’d drive their car off a cliff but fly away completely unharmed…

        If they came to Indianapolis, we’d know.

    If Niue thought hats were evil, well…wouldn’t drones be kind of an all-over hat?

      And the controller for the drone is… a hat!

      But will she muscle up to the bars and voom?

    Is this the first time we’ve seen Niue in color?

      It sure seems that way. Although I always pictured her as a scarlet macaw regardless, for some reason.

      Although, now that I’ve thought to look it up, it turns out that scarlet macaws don’t actually live on the island of Niue? The only parrots that do are Blue-crowned lorikeets, which look nothing remotely like Niue herself. In fact, none of the birds present on Niue come anywhere close to her coloration.

      Hmm. Strange.

      She was in My Brother Sam Is Dead, so we’ve seen her in color before.

        Why so she is, and so we have. That explains picturing her as a scarlet macaw. Although the relationship between her morphology and her name is still unclear.

    Congratulations, Sweetheart, you’ve found a new way to tear your community apart in a bitter civil war!

      I see what you did. Much better than anything I came up with. Congrats!

    This comic shows a definite anti-birdbrain bias!

    So how is Ms. Bear going to use the drone tech to blame Sweetheart for undermining sapient rights?

    • D. Walker

      Simple. She can just argue that the existence of drone technology will societally obligate non human sapients to use it in order to better conform.

      As bizarre as it may sound, people have actually made similar arguments about prosthetics – i.e., that they are unethical because the fact that they exists promotes a sense that they are necessary, and people lacking limbs are pressured by society to get prosthetics instead of society simply accepting their limbless conditions.

        I suspect both groups prefer to seize their independence and tell “ethics” to go hang.

        Sadly I see that as a likely direction the strip will take.
