Still Swiping Rocks
As you saw in the video from my last post, the adelie penguins are pretty good at stealing rocks when the nest’s owner isn’t looking. But sometimes they can get into some nasty little spats over the rocks too. I’ll try and share some video footage of that next time. It’s kind of entertaining, especially this one technique…
LMAO! Nice one T, hehe that is really a great one there. How do you do that style in that last panel? I love the dirty look!
Wow… nice usage of vector art! Hope the duo finds a home soon~
It’s funny how your comic strip about “the box”(in vector art) totally matched with this random, corky idea that me and my friend came up with (except we called it “the thing!” I showed my friend the strip and he claimed that you stole our idea from us and he also added that we should be paid in royalties for it.
I don’t know how you got your “the box,” but we got our idea by walking on a hot summer day thinking of something to drink at Starbucks…the heat sure entertains you with interesting silly ideas. Then we picturesd ourselves riding in an empty box and driving it like a car.
Possibly the mangiest looking penguin I’ve ever seen…
lol oz is picking on the skimpy ones! lol wally is so awsome.
i feel so very sad for that mangy lookin little penguin. i feel like i should take him home and give him a couple cans of tuna to fatten him up a little. Poor little guy. *tear
Yeah, I have a hard time looking at him myself now. He’s so pathetic. He’s not going to get a mate, even if he did his eggs wouldn’t make it in that “nest”. /sniff
Tyler, that comic was screaming out for one little alteration.
I love how much of a jerk Osbourne is being.
As for the contribution of the Right Honorable Gentleman for One Fell Swoop, you’d think those fruit hat would freeze.
I really hope that they don’t get any of that poor penguin’s rocks. He probably worked hard for those–they should somehow get them from the big penguin, because he’s probably just been stealing them from other penguins.
Even the Japanese wouldn’t take that Penguin for scientific research. Man, he’s one ugly bird - but he would probably still taste like chicken.
i think the other penguin is so fat he couldn’t turn around so they could get the ones behind him… but then how would he have got them in the first place…
if penguins could fly that scrawny one probably coudn’t
how mean of osbourne to pick on the skimpy ones
gross and small
if the big one is related to the small one…
then wally and osbourne will regret stealing the nest
DDDDAAAAAAAANNNNNNNGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!
When Osbourne gets rocks, will he lose them to the female penguin flirting for rocks?
Dude, I LOVE that last panel. Nice work!
Poor penguin . . . I wonder what happened to him. And, Sev, I’m sorry about the last comic. Now I know stereotypes are just plain wrong.
Oh, PLEASE don’t let that poor widdle Penguin get his rocks stolen! Maybe Wally and Osborne can help the little guy steal the big Penguins Rocks, and in turn he gives them a Home!
Let the rocks go! Just walk into some kinda lab or something or base in antarctica and live there! It would be much more homey. I mean…how are wally and osborne gonna fit in a pile of rocks???
i think gain a few pounds and swipe from the other guy and he is on the way to…………………………
DEATH!!
cuz he is tiny i mean
tiny!
oh yeah crawling4bugs@yahoo.com
that poor little pinguin man i think the best way to steal his rocks is to just put him out of his misery!!!! I mean he is SO scrawny that it looks like he has just sat there on his 3 little rocks all layin season or wuteva and hasn’t ate nuttin!!! JUST PUT HIM OUT OF HIS MISERY!!!!!!!! CAN’T YOU SEE HE IS JUST SUFFERING!!!!!! ok well its like almost 2am so i think i should go to sleep. KILL i mean HUMANLY UTHINISE THE POOR CREATURE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
to go along with that last comment that is the creepiest pinguen in all of antartica!!!!!!!!!! and the scrawnyest

Umm…I think im gonna be sick.
So…whens the new comic coming?
Im all confused about these days that Tyler is supposed to put comics on…
You’re not the only one, Canuck Mooseman!
Awww, poor little penguin! I hope W&O help him out, poor thing. I would takehm home and feed him and cuddle him, poor thing.
Awww, poor little penguin! I hope W&O help him out, poor thing. I would take him home and feed him and cuddle him, poor thing. And I would give him more rocks and an equally scrawny playmate. You know, while I’m at it, I’d like a pony.
Whoever up there at the top seems to be claiming that they came up with a the box idea, has been seriously mislead, since it originated in Calvin and Hobbes. Obviously, said person is ridiculous, and the box concept is free for anyone to use.
Also…The Saturn Commercial.

SuperVegito
Why are you scared about talking about garfield!!!!
I like garfield a lot!!!
I wouldn’t be scared about talking a bout another comic!
ANSWER me about it!!
That felt like an insult!
accualy.
A desktop reader would be cool
nice idea
uh…no one whos name you need to know,
you are getting a little annoying
and OSBOURNE & WALLY,
I know you’re acually Canadian Mooseman
So, um, yeah. Posting about wanting a new comic will not get you a new comic. It will just irritate people trying to read the comments.
the “little alteration.” was great,
ohh,sorry,if your wondering why post number 52 is about post 7,
I never got to post about it earlier.
pig salad tastes good with ranch dressing and zucheeni.
WHAT DOES PIG SALAD WITH RANCH DRESSING AND ZUCHINIS OR WHAT NOT HAVE TO DO WITH ANITHING!?!?
it does taste good,…
WERE ARE THE NEW COMICS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ummm Gatter i agree with you about no one whos name you need to know, but im not canadian mooseman,sorry.
gatter i also agree with you about supervegito, garfield is awesome,why are you afraid of saying his name?
i’m not afraid its just that i’m used to not mentioning names of other comics/websites/softwares cuz on most forums n stuff those are the rules ur not supposed to mention the names of other stuff…its sorta become a habit for me now… i’m not really afraid to say garfield its just a bad habit that i got….garfield does OWN it was the first comic strip/cartoon show that i ever liked
btw all in favour of a Wally & Osbourne/On The Rocks Desktop Comic Reader say Aiii!!!
AIII!!!!!!
haha jeez. 65 comments? gotta be a new record. although it has been abnormally long without a comic i’m sure there is a good reason for it. let’s all be patient and give tyler some breathing room. =]
What, you guys are here? I thought everyone was gone on summer vacation, okay… I’ll get back on it this week.
finally Tylers back…i was just wondering how we’d find out if he was dead or alive which i’d still like to know in the unfortunate event that it ever does happen
yay he’s back!
AIIIII!
Finally, Tyler is working on a new comic. YAY!
gief comixx!
I’ve been reading this comic for a while. I remember when there was an update nearly every day. Boy those were the days.
how about this, everyone stops complaining and just enjoys the comic when it does come out. sounds like a plan to me
HEY I WANT A NEW COMIC
That is so mean 2 steal rocks from that poor little penguin. :’( I think im going to cry…..
we want the comics !
Completely agree jax.
Well, I think I’m going to wait out the rest of my days until a new comic arrives…Until then…PARTY! PARTY! PARTY! PARTY!
7 days without a comic! 7 DAYS!
hey people
i dont know what to do so im just submitting this comment
about mostly nothing.
i like penguins.
bye bye.
hey people
obviously my comments aren’t very interesting
because nobody ever says anything to me…..
you dont like me!!!!
nobody likes me!!!!!!!!
please!!!!!!!! someone reply to my comments!!!!!!!!!
Hannah, you have said nothing of context. When you say something like “Whats all yall’s favorite type of penguin” Then people will respond. And as for all the “We want a comic” chanters, I’ve said it before, what Tyler does for you is on his own time, and its art, you need to ‘chillax’ and wait for it not press for more, it gets really annoying to those of us who read the comments for the sake of conversation about the comics.
In addition, the next person who decides to ask where the comic is, I’d like to see them keep up a comic 5 days a week, not to mention one of Tyler’s artistic quality. And Hannah, My favorites are the ones with the big yellow tufts, what are those called? You know the funny looking ones
That penguin looks like he’s been on a combination of acid and russian homebrew.
i like all penguins, big ones, small ones, some as big as your head!! wait… that’s coconuts…i like those too. mmmmmm….
i luv that song… wats is called again jax?
@ hannah : i like the cute little baby penguins like the ones in the movie happy feet…i think tyler’s mentioned it before. but for those of you who have’nt seen the teaser here’s the link
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UrBnwgDt6ew&search=Happy%20Feet
oh n i also like whatever type of penguin it is that robin williams is voice acting for ^_^
Well…I guess I can stand a couple of days without comics. Now I have a question…Could someone please tell me if I can get Wally And Osborne In print at a bookstore or something? ANd also, will there be more books for it?
nnnnnnnneeeeeedddddd cccooommmiiiccs
Edi, the ones with the tufts are the group of the
crested penguins and the yellow tufts are crests.
the crested penguins are:
-Rockhoppers
-Macoroni
-Royal
-Erect
-Snares
-Fiordland
and sorry i’ll ask questions if i want answers.
jax, i like all penguins too.
SuperVegito, I LOVE HAPPY FEET!!!!!!
the Robin Williams penguin is an Adelie, and he sings the
spanish version of “My Way”.
and i love Happy Feet so much, I found the website:
http://www2.warnerbros.com/happyfeet/
well bye people. daily penguin facts from Hannah coming soon.
I have reason to believe the comics arent updating
would that reason be the comments that have now reached 90 with this post?
10 more AND WE GOT 100!!!!!!!!!
ccomicccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccsssssssssss
The problem is the rude users posting spammy messages, probably thinking it’ll get them an update
94TH POST! 6 more and its 100!
patience lad, the artist needs time too =p
nice art ^^
On the Happy Feet website (link above) be sure to click “Baby Mumble” trailer link (with the Stevie Wonder song on the left of “trailer 1″ and “trailer 2″). That’s the one they’re putting on other DVDs by way of a trailer/promotion for the movie this fall. I LOVE it! Mumble’s really got Happy Feet
Guess what?
since Happy Feet is coming out in Novenmber,
we’re (as in me and my family) are going to see
it on Thanksgiving!
cause we always see a movie on Thanksgiving.
oh yeah 98th post
2 more til 100
guess what there are more than 70 feathers
for every square inch on a penguin
OH YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
100TH POST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
we don’t have thanksgiving in holland =\
hahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I couldn’t understand some parts of this article Still Swiping Rocks, but I guess I just need to check some more resources regarding this, because it sounds interesting.
