And that kids is why we never play with matches.
It was nice of our “heroes” to want to clean up some spilt oil, but it seems a task even modern day humans are not up to. I’ve seen some documentaries on penguins coming up onto the beach escaping oil spills in the ocean in places like South Africa and it wasn’t pretty. Fortunately there are organizations that work hard to gather up the survivors, scrub them clean and return them to the wild. I’ve posted this before, but here’s some info on the sweaters they put on penguins that have been victims of an oil spill to help rehabilitate them, you can even make your own to send in.
Japanese Whaling Update
I don’t have the news links handy since I lost my mail files. But to follow up on the Japanese whaling situation, several of the large corporations in Japan that were hunting whales have announced that they are throwing in the towel, or the harpoon as far as whaling goes claiming that the strong opposition against it was just too much. I personally think the whale burgers were just not selling to well, I mean, when they announced they were putting the whale meat in dog food to get rid of it you knew something was up. I believe global warming alone is taking its toll on the whales enough without humans killing them off.
UPDATE: Links
Ah, here is a news link for the whaling subject at National Geographic (thanks Stephanie!). Also here is a link to Southern African Foundation for the Conservation of Coastal Birds who rescue penguins from oil spills like I was mentioning (thanks Ana!).

Nice comic dude!!! Oh,by the way,is FWOOMP a word? And by the way,I am so totally not related to you!(NOT!) Hope you can come down and visit soon!!!
There is a place in South Africa where they do a wonderful job rehabilitating oiled and hurt penguins. The last major oil spill they saved 90% of the oiled penguins. They had over 1200 volunteers working around the clock for weeks. Here is the link if you want to look them up.

Hehehe. This reminds me of my dad – as a kid he used to burn stuff for fun (so they tell me). Pyromaniac!
Let’s just hope that Wally doesn’t succumb to the smell of roast Osbourne.
OK, it’s official: Wally and Osbourne are flaming idiots. BTW, where did Wally get matches anyway?
yay!!!!!!! A NEW comic. It almost reminds me of Zoolander when 2 ppl were dumping gasoline on each other and a guy lighted a cigarete. BOO! no tabacoo! @nd hand smoke aint the only time others die. seriously,….stay drug free!
See? He got a new comic in after all. You shouldn’t lose faith in the guy who draws the comics!
im start my own comics influenced by these comics it’s called “toxic and happy”
How did they light a match , IN THE MIDDLE OF ANTARTICA

I don’t think the temperature would be a problem – the chemical reaction will ignite the match regardless. The only problem would be wind, and they surely don’t have gales down there all the time.
that would hurt.
Sweet tyler, puve done it again!
Hey, if you check out the sanccob website you can adopt a penguin!!!!

Oil can be burnable, but don’t do it up close.
