   Nice one Doug.

   Need to edit the Wikipedia page to include your cartoon: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/René_Magritte

   Heh - I actually just took an art appreciation type class last year, so yeah I’m probably among the like 1% of readers who actually got the joke without having to go to the Wiki link

   ha ha ha, How did you decided to include a Sakteboarding half pipe in your cartoons, was Doug a skater?, is he a skater? or was it all a dream?, ha ha, you really amazed me, now we don´t know what will come next, ha ha, have a nice weekend.

   “To boldly go where no chicken has gone before…” GREAT! Happy Friday all!

   I love these rare times when having a degree in art actually gives me an insight.

    no offense doug, but can you translate that in to english?

11. Keith on May 8th, 2009 8:34 am

    Wow! The most erudite cartoon in recent memory. Well played, sir.

    “ceci n’est pas une” - this is not a

13. King Bob on May 8th, 2009 9:12 am

    so there is no spoon?

    At first, I thought, “If that’s not a half-pipe, what is?” THEN I understood. ^_^

    ça m’amuse beaucoup, mon cher ami!

15. Seraphine on May 8th, 2009 9:28 am

    if buffalo had wings,
    they could half-pipe too.

    Thanks Doug for the education!!! I’ve learned so much from your chickens about art and psych.
    (If I don’t get the joke I have to read the wikipedia page or It’ll bug me all day that I didn’t get the joke)
    Need another Trek Chicken to celebrate the new movie!!

    I’m having flashbacks to senior English class…Plato’s Form Theory is all coming back to me in confusing bits and pieces.

    Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant
    best. cartoon. ever.
    this would deserve a far more erudite comment but i’m laughing far too hard to think straight
    The apprentice stared at the glowing screen for hours but when he witnessed the master’s newest graphical koan he laughed his a§§ off and was enlightened.
    only you could so succintly combine slapstick, intelectual AND meta-humour
    Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant

20. Ada on May 8th, 2009 6:49 pm

    The closest thing to a worthy compliment on this brilliant cartoon:

    @Zuzax
    I don’t think you need degree in art to understand this comics.

    Also, one of the best I’ve ever read. Simply awesome, magnificiant etc.
    And I LOVED smiling skateboard.

    Thank you, thank you. Comics like this make my day.

25. René on May 11th, 2009 4:24 am

    Sorry, for once i was like “ive seen this before”, as one before me so nicely linked the 5 year old wulfmorgethaler comic. But don’t worry - you’re still the man… or chicken.. you know what I mean. Love ya (and i do love chicken, very tasty).
