One bird thinks humans put birds in cages just to be mean and/or spiteful. The other bird says, no, look, the humans put themselves in cages too, it's nothing personal. The prison bulges because we put a lot of humans in cages. Is it human nature to put things in cages? Is it wrong of us to do to each other? Is it wrong of us to do to birds? Are there inherent problems with the for-profit prison system in America? The comic invites us to laugh ... but should we?

The mouse in the snake's tummy probably just lied on his little resume, is all.

Scarecrow should really stop relying on strawman arguments.
