Birds in the Funnies- Deeper Meaning Edition

One of my favorite comics is Monty- and today's strip is typically funny, with Monty in another crazy situation that is only made worse by his bumbling ineptness (this time in his new job as Marty the manatee, a character in a new kid's show). The punchline is a pretty powerful commentary about extinction, though. I wonder if Jim Meddick intended the sobering message? Probably. Nicely done, Jim.
