Loose Parts:  That senior couple probably wish they were hard of hearing.

Andertoons: An avian version of a real estate agent. 

Rhymes With Orange:  One devoted parrot.

Peanuts:  A classic strip from 1970, originally the conclusion of a six-day story arc.  Woodstock's reaction in the last panel is priceless.

Half Full: The parrot knows what the pirate will want next and has a nice play on words for it.

We close the month with another of Geoffrey Hewer-Candee's "Animal Problems" comics, in which he takes human foibles and shows how the animal kingdom would deal with them.

Diamond Lil:  Stupid the Bird makes the most of recurring barfly character Herman's sunburn.  (The artist usually does a whole week of strips each summer about this, but this is the first time Stupid appeared in any of them.)

The Other Coast:  Everyone wants to cool off in the summer.

Speed Bump: The toon equivalent of "breaking the fourth wall" where the characters in the comic are self-aware of it.

Six Chix: A modern-day reworking of the 1874 fable "The Little Red Hen".
