1 Mordekai: So what happened to this bearowl you bred?
2 Kyros: It didn’t get along with the deervole at all.
3 Kyros: I thought hybridising owls and bears would be a hoot, but it turned out to be a growl.
4 Kyros: And with the mouth of a bear but the digestive system of an owl, it kept regurgitating desiccated adventurer pellets.

Thanks to my friends for coming up with so many alternate punchlines to the previous Fantasy strip that it was enough to make a whole other comic out of it.

For more about bearowl pellets, Wikipedia has an article.

Wait, would the study of owlbears and bearowls be ursornithology and onithursology, or the other way around?
