It's just one of those cartoons where you have to look again. Is that bad? Or is that good? I think it's just that maybe adults need a little "where's waldo" every now and then! (I did make a big effort to make the bird look like he was talking, and keep the humans' mouths shut. Maybe not enough?) No, please! you’re not dumb!

This is one case where the act of explaining the joke <i>didn't</i> kill it - I laughed when I saw it was the birds doing the talking and not the woman. Why didn't I get it the first time? Is it because the caption is closer to the humans than to the birds? Or is it just because I'm dumb? I suspect the latter. I feel really stupid now!

Well, the birds are mocking the two humans who are bird-watching them, the woman has just said, "ooh look jerry, a pair of mockingbirds," and the mockingbird has just imitated her! Ahem.

I think it's because I have exactly the same sense of humour as me. But I have to confess to being completely baffled by the above cartoon. I know that the act of explaining a joke always kills it, but please... could someone explain it to me? (Feeling stupid) I always laugh at my own jokes too.
