I think that I should just outsource the writing of my strips to my wonderful readers. From my twitter feed, I learned it could have been worse for David if he had been bitten by a kiwi.
Stanton5 – @ArmandoVa The chicken-sized female lays an egg about one-third her size/body weight, and then the male is forced to sit on it for a year.
And without having seen today’s strip, Malcolm almost beat me to the punch with Evil Chef! Check out the fan strip he made..
more face! and… more weirdness avec egg.
It’s strips like this that make enjoy this comic so much. Characters like the Evil Chief can so much with so little and in many ways steal the scene while the do it.
Oh look, David has eyes for a change. I am trying to remember the last time we saw his eyes, and I can’t think of it. Maybe towards the start of the comic.
At least the duck wasn’t an ostridge, those eggs would really hurt coming out.
pretty sure we saw his eyes after he got smashed with angela. other than that dont remember
Well, unless he got it fertilized with some compatible sperm while it was forming inside him, it ain’t gonna hatch nothing. But since it is due to mutation, maybe he fertilizes it with his own sperm.
People are giving soo much thought to this it is scary. But it is also AWESOME.
We can’t help it, there are a lot of possiblities. And a lot of them lead to funny.
Well, if it ran down a…certain ductway…it might acquire some of his own…ahem…masculine genetic material as it went. That might deliver it AND fertilize it at the same time. Sort of like a mad, radioactive duck/man/tribble kind of thingie.
It’d also hurt like all holy frak.
“And now, the Chairman is about to unveil tonight’s Secret Ingredient in Kitchen Stadium…it is…radioactive dude-guy eggs!”
ALLEZ CUISINE!
First course is a radioactive dude guy egg white omelette with chorizo, cilantro, and truffles. The yolks from the first course were reserved for our second course, a sleepytime flan in a Space Pig Urine sauce…
Fun fact! In order to supply calcium for her eggs, the female gulper eel absorbs the calcium out of her jaws and teeth.
…
David should stock up on calcium supplements…
We are never giving this guy a break, are we?
And here we see the Lesser Spectacled David Duck defending its eggs from predators….
I’m sure there could be some sort of alien race around that universe that would eat dude-egg omelette for breakfast…
David could open up a business there, where he is the only producer of human eggs… a monopoly! think about all the chances!
*shrugs*
Take another look at the size of that egg and consider if you’d like make a living laying them.
“Head office called, boss. They need another 200 by Monday….”
if he did cook the egg then eat it would that be cannibalism? if evil chef served that egg to another human being would that also be considered cannibalism? thoughts for the ages.
hahaha. Maybe. There is an exit strategy to this whole egg situation – I was careful not to write myself into a corner. Well, at least I tried.
