You always imagine the giraffes as these big, soft animals that just live for human interaction like a well trained dog or horse. But, cross those sons of bitches and you’ve got trouble. The giraffes are only the beginning of Jeff’s animal woes at the zoo. In my researching of giraffes, I found out that male giraffes are sometimes called “stinky bulls” as their coat emits a rather foul smell due to the antibacterials agents in the fur. But, they have tongues to die for and can only imagine the French kissing those two are gonna get into after a few more tokes on Jeff’s prime stash.
So, Def Leppard fits into my loophole of 70s because they formed at the end of the 70s and by making their name look like Led Zeppelin (the name was Deaf Leopard, but was quickly changed to look like Zep’s name). And the video for “Animal” was just strange enough for me to include it as today’s comic title. If my fading memory serves, “Hysteria” was the first album to be released with a video to support each song. Plus, the album was longer, nearly an hour long, to help fill up the fledgling CD format. With some crunching, they were able to press 30 minutes of music per side on the vinyl releases. Most BTO albums were only 30 minutes in total, not per side! Trivia Mondays…

Are you promising pot in every pot? 😛
Love the idea of a giraffe smoking a joint…
Wow, Def Leopard’s ‘Animal’ gave us all hope. If they can get away with writing a chorus on one note then this song writing gig must be a doddle!
Who needs melody?
I’ve always thought the same thing about the giraffes when I go to the zoo…
Yeah why eat ’em when you can roll ’em up and smoke ’em. I’ll bet those Giraffe’s get all the good stuff from the top. 🙂
Love the Halloween banner! Glad to know other webcartoonists enjoy the season as much I do (or “boo”…okay, that sucked).
The strip today is great … but it’s eclipsed by the epicness of the Halloween banner. Love the 5th pumpkin! 😀
Robyn as a total bombshell of a witch? Oh-hell-yeah! Much better than a zombie or a mummy!
You could,also, consider going on an Animals theme and post songs by them (most) every time a zoo strip comes up …
Stoned Giraffe strikes me as one hell of a name for a band.

This puts me in mind of Shel Silverstein’s poem on the neck of a giraffe.
