Duck

[RiverNotch]

You keep going out for something else,
something other than a duck;
but, you keep coming back with a duck.

And you can't teach the children anything,
other than:
get used to ducks,
cos' that's all you'll ever get.

(would make more sense if the entirety of the comic is read, but yeah)

yeah, duck as duck, a sort of bird of innocence
or extra deliciousness,

duck as euphemism for chick,

or duck as duck! a barrel bomb,

and it all works out. it's that multiplicity of meanings that really makes this click, i agree.



* -- also duck as reference to duck dynasty? which would....yeah, would quack me up, dammit mercedes.
