Secondary image shows ranks of military looking chaps in parade uniform. The leader is giving an order to an ice-cream van: "... and 103 cornets, please." The first cone is actually a brass cornet with ice cream in the top.

Chapter:

The weekend of 24-25 January 2015 is the date for the RSPB’s Big Garden Birdwatch, so you’ll need to get ready to count!

RSPB were interested enough to publish today’s comic on their blog… so if you arrived here from there WELCOME.  Please consider leaving a comment to say you’ve been here.  Thinking about it, quite a few of comics from the past have been about birds, RSPB or wildlife in general.
