Antivehicular posted:IIRC, the problem is that the kinds of bats you're likely to have a contact encounter with (acting erratically, out during the day) are also the ones most likely to be ill? And rabies isn't really a "wait and see" disease, it's a "get your rear end to the hospital and pray you're within the prophylactic window" disease. I agree that bats need better press, but treating bat injuries as potential rabies exposures is a good idea! Yeah, the average person isn't likely to encounter a bat unless A: it's out in daylight like this which would mean it's ill or B: there's an established colony in your house and one gets through to your living space. The latter is a big risk because bat bites are so small, you can't always tell if one's bitten you or another person while asleep. It's not always a "get rabies vaccines immediately" problem, but you should consult with a doctor if you come in contact with one (or any unexpected wildlife encounter, really). Bats do have a higher risk of carrying rabies than some other animals in the United States, even if the inverse (most bats aren't rabid) is also true. https://www.cdc.gov/rabies/animals/bats/index.html

Shaman Tank Spec posted:OK, check this out for a question: Wiktionary has the origin being an anglicized version of the French "allez-hop", "the cry of a circus acrobat about to leap. From allez (“go! let's go!”), 2nd-person plural or formal indicative form of aller, and hop, onomatopoeic" with a cited quotation of said usage from 1917 .

Dana Simpson posted this article on bluesky that with recent cuts by syndicate Gannett, nearly everything in the line up are penned by men and though FBoFW survived the chop, it's a zombie rerun strip (along with a good number of other strips in the group). Dismal state for published strips these days.

The caption pretty clearly implies the car was heading for the sidewalk already when Wilbur pushed him out of the way. The driver didn't steer out of the way at the last second to avoid the man in the street.
