Spooneroo
I’ve spent a lot of time around them, like Jane Goodall and the gorillas, and I’ve come to the conclusion that scientists are an odd bunch.
Biologists especially.
Take regular Flowfield reader Roo, not content with trying to learn about the intrinsic workings of life and ecosystems and such, he’s also an artist.
In fact, today’s strip was a very easy one to make, being that not only was I supplied with the idea, but also some fantastic illustrations – which I’ve added below, and unashamedly copied for the comic.
I do feel a little guily, technically I’ve done nothing… So, full credit must go to Roo. Thanks.
I’m going to carry on with the last couple of requests and readers for the beginning of this coming week, and then normal transmission will resume..

Haha. I love the Technorati tag “Spoonerisms” you’ve added at the bottom.
You’ve spooned words together too, (”Fooning Sporks”) which is impressive to me.
I wonder how those ideas would work modified as earrings.
Aren’t paleontologists odder than biologists?
You’re right, Roo is a great artist! I followed your link to his LiveJournal, wonderful stuff, thanks for the link. Hugs.
The Technorait tag, I can take responsibility for that. Hey, it’s good to tag accurately.
As for the spoonerism, that’ll be the work of Roo again.
Yup, studying dead living things if far odder than just studying living things.
its really cool!!!
In order for there to be forking spoons mustn’t there be two spoons both with a fork in them? Otherwise isn’t it just forking spoon (singular)?
The spoon(s) have a fork at the center, you know, like a fork in the road… Though it IS an interesting question: So it is one spoon or two?
There is no spoon…
(LOL sorry I couldn’t resist!!)
A fork in the road is a fork in a single road that diverges into two, but the fork is in a singular road. It follows logically that a spoon diverging from the handle into two scoops is a fork in a singular spoon.
Okay the verdict is reached: you need two of them forking spoons for it to be forking spoons otherwise it needs to read forking spoon which then doesn’t really fit in with the rest… LOL
Wish I could draw like that (and like roo too WOW!)… *wistful*
I also suck at the drawing. Yet I persist.
How about if the forking spoon is just an exmple of forking spoons in general… I do it all the time, I will say ‘insects’ but just draw one for illustration.
I spent most of the day trying not to come up with a title for this one that had a ‘there is no spoon’ connotation. Still, I’m glad it came up.
I’d have to agree,
forking spoons is two spoons,
one for each nostril.
That’s forking genius.
*grin*
You know, I think this is probably the most flattering thing anyone’s ever done for me, artistically speaking. Thank you Adam. For anyone that followed the like to my Lj and liked the art over there, thank you for that too. Gee, I’m too touched to come up with a witty pun, even.
me, i love the fact that the word ’spork’ even exists.
roo, this is great :]
although adam, i wouldnt have put it past you, i thought this was your work until i read that, its your kind of thing
the great kind of thing :]
very nice,
you’re both an artist and a biologist?, i want to be like you
I hate sporks.
