| D2: The Mighty Ducks | [[Sanjay, the narrator, is pictured.]]
/ Narrator: Sanjay criticizes his favorite childhood movies.
/ Narrator: Today's movie: D2: The Mighty Ducks / Narrator: In this scene: Gordon Bombay goes on a date with a trainer from Iceland / [[Gordon Bombay is shown holding a hockey stick.]]
/ Narrator: Gordon Bombay is an innovative and creative minor league hockey coach. He also has a law degree. / Narrator: Let's watch.
/ [[Gordon Bombay is holding an ice cream cone, talking to a woman, Michele MacKay.]] / Gordon Bombay: I thought Iceland was covered in ice
/ Michele MacKay: No, it's very green! / [[Gordon Bombay throws his arms up in surprise.]]
/ Gordon Bombay: I thought Greenland was green!
/ Michele MacKay: Greenland is covered in ice, and Iceland is very nice! / [[Sanjay rubbing his head, facepalm putting his face in his palm.]] / [[Sanjay with his arms out.]]
/ Sanjay: Firstly, Coach Bombay. It is totally ridiculous that you are dating this lady. She's the trainer for your main rivals! How would it be if Miss MacKay started dating Wolf "The Dentist" Stansson? It would be ridiculous! / [[Sanjay, resigned.]]
/ Sanjay: Also, Greenland is mostly north of Canada. You should know that!

| Calling to apologize | Sanjay: Hello, this is Sanjay.
/ Barack: Hey, Sanjay. This is Barack Obama. / Sanjay: Hey, President Obama! You calling to apologize for nominating Sanjay Gupta to surgeon general? That guy is really overshadowing me.
/ Barack: Ha ha, no. I was just calling to tell you that as my first act as president I'm going to get rid of all diseases. / Barack: That medical degree you are trying to get will be worthless! / Barack: Ha ha ha ha! / Sanjay: Mr. President, why are you doing all these things just to mess with me? / Barack Obama: Because I can, Sanjay. Because I can. / {{Mouseover: I guess I'm kind of self-absorbed to react that way to the end of all diseases.}} / {{Footer: If you think it is unreasonable for me to expect an apology from Barack Obama, maybe you don?t know Barack Obama very well.
/ Click that link, click ?Listen now? and skip to 3:58. / That?s from ?Wait, Wait, Don?t Tell Me?. My favorite show on NPR.}} http://cowbirdsinlove.com/392 |
| Feeling like you belong | A lot of people didn't feel accepted when they were children, so they spend the rest of their lives wondering if they belong. / But me I don't have to wonder... / Thanks to my family! / Bad mom: You don't belong.
/ Narrator: I know! / Thanks, you guys, you are real jerks. / Mouseover: I was going to put something here for my mom to let her know that this comic isn't based on my life or anything, but I don't know if she checks mouse-over text. / Bottom: / Today is update 393, which means, unless it updates today, I?ve put up more comics than A Softer World. I have yet to match ?A Softer World? with regards to it being totally amazing and with regards to it inspiring seemingly every other photocomic, but even this small victory is very exciting for me. A Softer World is one of the comics that inspired me to draw comics in the first place. / If you haven?t read A Softer World, you probably should. Though it will be hard to read now, what with it being left in my dust and all. / You?re next, Randall Munroe. http://cowbirdsinlove.com/393 |
| Calendars | THE MAYAN CALENDAR RUNS OUT ON DECEMBER 21ST, 2012. / SOME BELIEVE THAT THIS IS GOING TO BE THE END OF THE WORLD / YOUR DILBERT PAGE-A-DAY CALENDAR RUNS OUT ON DECEMBER 31ST, 2009.
/ NOBODY BELIEVES THAT THIS IS GOING TO BE THE END OF THE WORLD. / UNLESS YOU REALLY LIKED THAT CALENDAR, I GUESS.
/ "WHAT!" / {{People I didn't ask for permission in reproducing their art: Scott Adams, whoever designed that cool step pyramid at Chichen Itza}} / {{People think the Mayans were so great at predicting stuff because they predicted when their society collapsed, apparently. / Big deal, Mayans. I can predict when your society collapsed too, just as soon as I look it up on Wikipedia.}} http://cowbirdsinlove.com/394 |
| Five cent lemonade | Lemonade / 5c / CUSTER'S SECOND LAST STAND / (Mouse-over text)
/ I had a professor Custer that was a relative of General Custer. He was an anthropologist specializing in Native American culture. / (Text below the comic)
/ Seems pretty expensive for lemonade in the 1800s, but what do I know? http://cowbirdsinlove.com/395 |
| Nothing to the imagination | Look at that girl! She is practically naked!
/ What's it to you? / It's indecent! She's leaving nothing to the imagination! / Did you try imagining something besides her being practically naked? / {{Leave nothing to the imagination and leave the king of the octo-skulls to me.}} / {{Unless all you can imagine is people naked, that expression doesn?t make a lot of sense.}} http://cowbirdsinlove.com/396 |
| The Wrong Time for Nostalgia | Cowbirds in Love presents: THE WRONG TIME FOR NOSTALGIA / When you are trying not to incriminate yourself...
/ Lawyer: Do you remember where you were on the night of the murder?
/ Defendant: Yeah! I was killing that guy!... Oh... Whoops. / When you are babysitting...
/ Babysitter: Remember when I was in that band?
/ Baby: ...
/ Babysitter: You never remember anything! / When you are lost...
/ Alice (pointing): We aren't lost! That road takes us back.
/ Bob: *Sigh* It sure does... /
/ {{Mouseover text: When you are Merlin from Once and Future King because that's just weird}}
/ {{Text under comic: I thought of this comic when I was hanging out with Mike Hazeltine. So if you don?t like it, blame him.}} http://cowbirdsinlove.com/397 |
| Dave the Zombie | Dave: The philosophical zombie who is also a regular zombie
/ Dave: Braaains
/ You: Oh no!
/ Don't worry. He doesn't really want to eat you brain. / [[Dave eating your brains]]
/ You: Whaaat!
/ He'll still do it, though / Mouseover text: Philosophical zombies are individuals that act normally but do not have experiences or consciousness. Regular zombies are prominently featured in the 'Thriller' music video. / Text below the comic: I want to disbelieve in the existence of philosophical zombies just because as far as zombies go they are very, very boring and kind of absurd. http://cowbirdsinlove.com/398 |
| Fahrenheit | A lot of people criticize the Fahrenheit scale for being totally stupid (it is) / In an effort to prove that his scale was still relevant, Daniel Fahrenheit hooked an FM radio to his body and programmed it to play the same station as his body temperature. / Fahrenheit: Let's see you try that, Anders Celsius. You'll roast before you hear anything! / For some reason, Fahrenheits's dumb invention took off...
/ 98.5 and 98.7 became the most popular stations. / At the higher frequencies, doctors broadcast medical advice...
/ Radio: This is 105.1, where the listeners are as hot as the tracks, reminding you all to go to the hospital. / Where I am from, National Public Radio broadcasted at 90.9. After Fahrenheits's invention, that stayed the same. / Because nobody listens to NPR unless they are really cool. / {{Mouseover: Eventually, everyone realized how stupid the invention was and Fahrenheit, disgraced, moved into space where it is always -40 degrees and you don't have to worry about temperature scales (unless you are using Kelvin).}} / {{Footer: / NPR asked me for a 50 dollar donation today, I drew them a comic instead. / That?s all you?re getting, NPR.}} http://cowbirdsinlove.com/399 |
| Keep the doctor away (Guest Comic) | Chef: It's okay! Just cut off the bruise. / Narrator: Sound advice... / Doc: It's okay! Just cut off the bruise. / Narrator: is not necessarily sound medical advice / (Mouse-over text)
/ I really love this comic. I hope you don't get sick of my comics now that you have seen this one. / (Text below the comic)
/ Today?s comic comes from my friend Bailey. She sent it to me a few months ago, but I saved it until now. Happy 400th comic, everybody! / But that?s not all? / I want to share some fan art I got! Check this out: / Connor Delaney wanted to draw me some fan art but he didn?t want to draw any of my characters (I think they were too simple and probably beneath him as an artist). So instead he drew me? / [[A picture of me.]]
/ {{Somehow, without ever seeing me, Connor correctly reasoned that I have a crazy widow's peak and have organs and graphics tablets and medical equipment hovering around me.}} / Pretty nice, right? But he also drew my enemy, Sanjay Gupta! / [[Gupta breaking it down.]]
/ {{Sanjay Gupta knows about as much about disco as he knows about family medicine, which is to say NOT A LOT.}} / What would happen if we met??? Connor provides the answer? / [[Sanjay Gupta beats me at rock paper scissors. Seems pretty unrealistic because I always start off with the negotiator.]]
/ {{I would be taller than Sanjay Gupta in this picture, except for his massive hair.}} / Awesome work, Connor. / Another reader, Pat, sent me this cool picture titled ?I Am Thirsty? / [[It's an awesome cactus.]]
/ {{This picture is laden with all kinds of metaphors and symbolism, I am sure.}} / Amazing! http://cowbirdsinlove.com/400 |
| Frost/Midas | [[Robert Frost is holding hands with King Midas.]]
/ Narrator: Robert Frost and King Midas's relationship comes to its inevitable tragic end
/ King Midas: I wish you could stay.
/ Robert Frost: I'm sorry. I can't. / {{Mouseover text: Stay gold, Frosty-boy!}} / {{Bottom text: Because nothing gold can stay, get it?
/ Like the poem?}} http://cowbirdsinlove.com/401 |
| Love bites... | My dentist said I have lots of cavities... / But he doesn't know about the cavity I have...
/ IN MY HEART! / Doctor: Let's take a look at those chompers.
/ Secretly, it is a cavity that only he can fill. / Also, I've been misrepresenting the diligence with which I floss. / Also secretly. / Maybe it's why I have all those cavities. / {{Mouseover: I only brush once a day to give me more time to think about you.}}
/ {{Footer: The way in which this comic resembles my life is that the last time I went to the dentist he said I had a lot of cavities. / The way in which this comic does not resemble my life is that I am not in love with my dentist even though he seems like a very nice man.}} http://cowbirdsinlove.com/402 |
| Danny Glover | Cowbirds in Love presents... / An alternate earth very much like our own. The onle difference being that on this earth Danny Glover is totally preoccupied with seeming cool. / Let's observe... / Danny Glover: Hey guys! It's me, Danny Glover! / DG: I was just doing the smoking and the video games! / DG: Whatever. No biggie. I do that all the time.
/ [[Danny Glover seems very proud of himself.]] / DG: Anyway, these teenagers told me I should change my name to Danny G-Lover. "So it'll show I'm a lover and also a G." / DG: I think the "G" means Gangster!
/ *GASP!* / DG: Anyway, I'm going to do it. It's cool, right?? / DG: I just want to be cool.
/ [[Danny Glover looks a little sad.]] / {{Mouseover: The world is the same except for this one thing.}} / {{Bottom: / I?m visiting my friend Navarro in Washington. It?s exciting being in DC, home of Superman, Batman and the Green Lantern. / But not Barack Obama, because he?s Marvel. / I wrote a little news thing about my bus ride to DC. You can read it if you want.}} http://cowbirdsinlove.com/403 |
| Danny Glover Part 2 | Narrator: Meanwhile, on the alternate earth that is exactly the same except on this earth Danny Glover reads my webcomic. / Danny Glover: Hey, Sanjay, I noticed you put me in your comic yesterday. / Danny Glover: I know you like to put people you admire in your comic, so this is really flattering. / Sanjay: Oh. Jeez. / Sanjay: Look, Mr. Glover, I don't really know about you.
/ Sanjay: I just put you in my comic since your last name starts with 'G' and ends with 'lover'. / Danny Glover: Oh. / Sanjay: I mean, I liked 'Be Kind, Rewind'. I kind of forgot you were in it.
/ Sanjay: Mos Def was good in it, though! / Danny Glover: ... / Danny Glover: Why doesn't anyone think I'm cool? / Mouseover text: Just kidding, Danny Glover is cool. / Footer text: Today is comic 404. I was going to do something special about it, but I decided xkcd did it well enough. You should go check it out! http://cowbirdsinlove.com/404 |

| Down at the ol' factory | While this comic is title "Down at the ol' factory", it is informally know as "the elsh comic", as indicated by the writing that says "THE ELSH COMIC!!!" This is because elsh made it. The comic begins with a black smiley face - not the kind that looks like :), but the one that looks like =) (also, it is not sideways, it is normalways) - and the line "Once there was a man with no nose." / The next image is of a gray face. This one is clearly more sophisticated than the previous black face: it has a face outline and, more importantly, a nose. You can tell how handsome this face is by the text to its right, which reads "He wished he had a nose like all the handsome men." / Then we return to a shot of the black face, which looks much angrier than when it sported its smile. He looks like this now: >=(. It's a face full of bad intentions, and the story continues as so: "But eventually, he got jealous and schemed to destroy everyone else's nose." / "How does the story end?", the comic asks us. We pause to observe the return of the gray face who, despite still having a face outline, is significantly less handsome due to his not having a nose any longer. He looks quite surprised at this development. What could have happened? "No one nose." / Mouseover text (supplied by Buttersafe IRC user, Japeth): I got your nose, and your nose, and your nose, and your nose... / Text under the comic: I was talking to some people on the Buttersafe IRC channel, and one person, elsh, was the only person who didn?t write a comic. So we were making fun of her because everyone cool writes a webcomic. Then for a while we were all pretending to be each other (this is a lot easier on the internet than it is in real life) and I made this comic as elsh so people would stop hounding her. http://cowbirdsinlove.com/419 |
