I rotated it and ended up seeing the penis on the zebra. That was unexpected.
Are zebra penises really grey?
No, they're drab brown/black, just like a horse's.
And yes, I did just GIS "Zebra penis."
I see.
*GISes for himself* I see. Geez, compared to some of those Google throws up, the one on PBF's zebra looks rather... it's personality that matters, right?

why is their a buzzard in the back in the last cell? I think im missing something.
Yes, you are.
The joke.
The buzzard "delivered" the baby that the woman is calling to complain about never receiving. She never received it because the buzzard ate it instead of delivering it.
I found that stork one funny without the vulture. it's a nice touch though, if only because you can miss it.
Without the vulture, where's the funny?

How does this guy (or any cartoonist) get ideas? If I tried to make a comic strip, the page would be blank for five hours while I stared and drooled, waiting for funny ideas to hit me.

I read an interview with him once where he talks about how long his jokes take to come up with. He says a lot of them have huge backstories that he tries to condense into three or four panels. I remember him talking about all of these various plot elements in the candyland chocolate spy one. I guess that's why he only did about one a month.

How is it funny without the vulture?
as people have said, the surrealistic nature of the comics are in and of themselves often enough to make one laugh. I was laughing at the idea of the whole stork baby delivery thing being real, but also being so real as to have to deal with complaining customers who claim they didn't get their shipment. making the ridiculous or mythological as mundane as working at UPS is quite funny to me.

As was mentioned before, a lot of his strips involve taking some charming and whimsical idea and taking it to the logical conclusion. The bunny in the moon one: what does it mean about the size of the cute little bunny if you can see him on the moon? (A: Fucking huge.) The Sgt. Grumbles one: what would a real bear do if you stuck a uniform on him? (A: Sit on his ass.) What would a bloodthirsty race of aliens actually do if confronted with adorable puppies? (A: Kill them all.)
His ideas are only half of it, though. His execution is brilliant, and his strips usually work on multiple levels and have a huge level of detail, even when the art style is very simple.

Man the cheating (X) motif (is it a motif?) is my favorite. The love lizard, this one, the tunnel and the train etc.
he really does the best expressions

Yes, you are.

It's a vulture which obviously ate the baby in question
ohhh. nice.
It's not the funniest to me. I just happen to really like it. I think it's quite an important idea behind it.
Flawless victory.
This one and the punch out one are my favorates. A good few minutes of straight laughter from me first time I saw them.

Possibly (not that I speak for Variable), that the Head Stork is oblivious to the fact that the baby in question is right next to him.
Then you go looking for all the other penises.
And then it makes sense.
this one has been my favourite ever since he posted it. Everything about it is funny.
Sgt GRRUUUUUUUUUUUMBLEEEESSS!!
hahah
I love how the joke unravels after you finish the last panel.

but perhaps I just have simple tastes.
