(19,386 posts)The cartoon featuring two birds (usually crows) talking about Botox is a pun based on the phrase "crow's feet".Here is the breakdown of the joke:The Punchline: "Botox is for humans" or similar, usually said while one crow has had its physical feet removed or is waiting in line at a clinic.The Literal vs. Figurative: In human beauty, Botox is used to treat "crow's feet"fine lines that appear around the eyes as people age, which are named because they resemble a bird's footprint.The Humor: The joke relies on the absurdity of a literal crow trying to remove its actual, physical feet.Often featured in single-panel comics like Bizarro, this surreal humor hinges on the wordplay of human cosmetic terms applied literally to animals.Similar expressions for these wrinkles in other languages include "hen's paws" in Italy, "rooster's feet" in Mexico, and "goose feet" in France.

I won The New Yorker cartoon caption contest many years ago. Still working on being funny

THX for reminding us to laugh occasionally too.
