    Does H.T. Really believe that “us and them” philosophy? I know people in power have used that to control other people historically, and we know that he’s conniving. But maybe I just suspect that because I was raised to believe that racism was wrong.

      He’s probably just trying to manipulate Sweetheart. She’s shown some resentment about humans being able to do stuff she can’t, right?

        Well, now she can ask Bubbles to use the drone for a few minutes, right?

      I’m pretty sure H.T. espouses a “me and food” philosophy.

      Those aren’t the only two options, you know. Remember, when HT isn’t trying to pull someone’s strings, he can often be found trying to push their buttons.

      “So, H.T., how did you work out that no-thumbs problem?”

      I suspect H.T. mostly believes in a “me vs them” philosophy, in which he should run everything and do whatever he wants, but finds that “us and them” is a better way to get it.

      To be fair, I also suspect that of most people using the “us vs them” argument to gain political power.

    Vampire parakeets don’t steal knishes, werekeets do!

      It’s like that old Roma saying: “Even a man who is pure of heart, and says his prayers by night, may sprout bright plumes when the budgie-bane blooms, and the moon is full and bright.”

      Well sure, Sweetheart is simplifying because HT wouldn’t be able to appreciate the true complexity of the situation. The vampire parakeets weren’t stealing the knishes at all, they were just using them as leverage in their negotiation with the werekeets to gain control of the vampire finches’ kreplach monopoly.

        Aren’t those known as ‘toothpicks’?

    Now, now, him being crazy doesn’t preclude the “man of vision” label. If anything, crazy people tend to have MORE visions.

      Every great visionary was labeled crazy until their ideas become mainstream (or they were roasted, depending on the era).

    I’d be willing to give it a try. He couldn’t do any worse than the current administration.

      I like how the first paragraph here is infinitely recyclable. Or possibly always fashionable: if you don’t like it now, just wait four to eight years.

    Honestly the vamp parakeets could be sent by another mad scientist. Or be created by himself to make his foes greater…………This universe is a very silly place.

    i like how this comic shows different sides of the fight for civil rights. there are extremeists and “us vd. them” people on both sides

    Now, I’ve never been to Canada, but I am relatively certain that there are no vampire parakeets up there.

    They all live in Central America. My cousins have to spray for them all the time to avoid having them steal the enchiladas.

      I thought that was where all the chupacabra were hiding.

    I’m IN Canada, and vampire parakeets have never…Wait a minute, it HAS been quite a while since I’ve seen a knish around here…

    As a Canadian, I can verify that parakeets DO steal knishes. However, to the best of my knowledge, they’re mostly in the Northwest Territories and are actually Shadow-Parakeets. The vampire ones are mostly in Central America or the Philippines.
