Well, it’s quite clear that the red star is Sirius A. The talking star cannot be Sirius B, the white dwarf, due to its size. This page has a nice image of the two stars. The yellow star could be the sun, given its size, but Sirius A is not very close to the sun. While the precise identity of the talking star remains unclear, we can make an educated guess that it is Canadian……. eh?

In recent news, Obama picked up his Nobel Peace Prize, and someone ordered a slice of apple pie.

Shakespeare, for a few puns, made use of the fact that sole and soul sound the same. For example in Romeo and Juliet, Romeo, as he was wont to do, complains:

Not I, believe me: you have dancing shoes
With nimble soles: I have a soul of lead
So stakes me to the ground I cannot move.

Well, had I been able to talk to Shakespeare, I would have convinced him to add a fishing scene into the play so that the sole fish could be added into the pun mix. Since, I missed Shakespeare’s last appearance at the Improv, I wrote my own triple soulless pun.

Please note that these eggs are not to scale. Everyone knows that a hard boiled egg is actually bigger than an emo egg.

Oology is the study of eggs. There are many animals in addition to birds that have eggs: insects, monotremes (the duck billed platypus is one), dinosaurs, the list goes on.

The Royal Alberta Museum has a virtual bird egg exhibit you can browse through. If you look at the Tinamou egg there, it doesn’t look like the one here. That’s because it is a Chilean Tinamou egg and not a Great Tinamou egg. Look at the last photo in this article for a Great Tinamou egg.

The stagecoach featured in today’s strip is a very simplified version of an Abbot-Downing built Concord Stagecoach.
