    An egg is an underage chicken. Simple.

    Yeah. Since he isn’t hatched yet he is too young to drink. And get a load of those fake Groucho glasses that he is using to look older.

    But “underage” usually doesn’t translate to balding, glasses and a thick mustache. This egg looks decidedly middle-aged.

    Of course, I have no idea why his sleeves don’t match his jacket…

    Is this a variation of which came first the chicken or the egg?

    The guy’s already halfway through his martini when the bartender gets suspicious? This is why chickens can’t hold down real jobs.

    Dr. Shrinker - an egg isn’t balding. It’s just naturally smooth. And as I said earlier I think he is wearing a fake eyeglasses/nose/mustache. I don’t think he even has any eyes.

    Or - Marshall’s right and this is a chicken vs egg thing.

    How does the egg ingest the booze? What happens if he has a few too many and decides to walk along a wall?

    The bartender is trying to find out which is older, the chicken or the egg. I guess he’s assuming these are the two oldest specimens.

    Reminds me of a guy I used to know in college who would go out drinking with buddies dressed in business attire and looking slightly disgruntled, and nobody bothered him. Well done Chicken Bartender, on checking that ID.

    I think it is just more likely that the egg dressed it is older - like a chicken so that it can have a drink.

    Then again, it would be possible, that neither - nor the egg, nor the chicken actually came first. So, the chicken IS a grown-up and is simply looking annoyed, cause in this “chicken” bar he is considered younger.

    *shrugs*

    for me it’s just an egg that wants to drink in a bar, but is too young and dressed like a chicken.

    So what’s the body? A robot? Zombie?

  12. pepperjackcandy Mar 30th 2009 at 09:07 am 12

    Or the bartender is asking the “which came first” question and the cartoonist is an evolutionist (?) and is saying that the egg is older than the chickens. Which it would be, since the egg that contained the first chicken was laid by something that wasn’t quite a chicken yet.

    That’s not an egg; it’s a Kaldane, and the body is a Rykor!

  14. MoWatt Mar 30th 2009 at 12:02 pm 14

    Hunt, or maybe it’s Flygzox and the bartender is a Rupsgillier!

    (What? You don’t get those references?)

    What’s the yolk?

    And if you’re a creationist (Christian or related theology), the chicken came first. Since God created Adam as an adult, we can assume he did likewise with all the other creatures.

    I’m personally believe in evolution, and view all creation theories as myths started by superstitious primitive man.

    This Wikipedia link explains Kaldanes and Rykors:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaldane

    Very interesting. It reminds me of Krang (from the 80’s cartoon “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles”) and the body he inhabited.

    As for Flygzox and Rupsgillier, you’re on your own there.

    But pepperjackcandy, the egg in your example would still be a not-quite-a-chicken egg, containing the first chicken embryo. Not that there would be much difference between a chicken egg and a not-quite-a-chicken egg, but I’ve never interpreted the question to include eggs of all kinds.

    Anyway, I lol’d at this comic.

    I was thinking about why the cartoonist used the word “another” in “Could I have another look at your I.D.?” and a thought just occurred to me:

    You know how certain people who are naturally “baby-faced” get carded a lot at restaurants and bars? Well, what would be “baby-faced” for chickens?

    Considering that chickens don’t give birth to baby chicks, but rather to eggs (maybe “give birth to” isn’t the right term here, but you know what I mean), a “baby-faced” character in the chicken world would have a face resembling not a baby chick’s, but of an egg.

    This (presumably adult) chicken has a face that just happens to look like it popped out of a mother hen just yesterday, so that’s why he’s being carded more than the average chicken.

    I think the egg is looking to get laid. Unfortunately, he happears to have gone to a gay bar full of cocks.

    The glass, of course, is a Caesar, made with Mott’s brand Clamato.
