> Organizers left it up to the individual cartoonists — some other participating strips include “Shoe,” This got me spending way too much time trying to determine if the birds in Shoe even wear pants.

I am laughing my ass off about this. This morning, for unknown reasons, my 10YO was waking around without pants on, which he never does. I had to use the line from the Hangover, “Could you put some pants on - I feel weird for having to ask you twice.” Likely just a coincidence, but a funny one. ---
