Remember Monty Python's News for Parrots [on youtube]? They'd briefly report some disaster with the reassurance, "No parrots were involved".*
The Girlettes were worried this morning that FLOWERS are being harmed, when Linda Sue posted one of her Orphans rallying for Ukraine. (They are not heartless, they just do not register human foolish behavior.)
"Not the FLOWERS!?!"
I must have read it when it came out––October 30, 1972–– and never forgot it.
* Sadly, there are pet parrots in Ukraine... Here's a report of a vet in Poland helping parrot refugees.
Have a good day anyway!

ReplyDeleteTove Jansson worked as an illustrator and cartoonist for the Swedish-language satirical magazine Garm from 1929 to 1953, when the magazine ceased production.[20] One of her political cartoons achieved a brief international fame: she drew Adolf Hitler as a crying baby in diapers, surrounded by Neville Chamberlain and other great European leaders, who tried to calm the baby down by giving it slices of cake – Austria, Poland, Czechoslovakia, etc. In the Second World War, during which Finland fought against the Soviet Union, part of the time cooperating with Nazi Germany,[21] her cover illustrations for Garm lampooned both Hitler and Joseph Stalin: in one, Stalin draws his sword from his impressively long scabbard, only to find it absurdly short; in another, multiple Hitlers ransack a house, carrying away food and artworks. In The Spectator's view, Jansson made both "Hitler and Stalin appear as preposterous little figures, self-important and comic.
I do admire Tove Jansson!
