#2901: Geographic Qualifiers explain

[The scene in this comic is shown from afar and drawn in black silhouette on a white background. It depicts a huge statue of a squirrel standing on a skateboard, which is on a pedestal. Below and in front of the statue there are two Cueball-like guys. The Cueball on the left is pointing at the statue and speaking to his friend on the right who has a thought bubble above him.]

Cueball: At over 40 feet, it’s the tallest statue of a skateboarding squirrel in the Northern Hemisphere.

Friend [thinking]: …Wait, who in the heck…Brazil? South Africa? Australia? Squirrels aren’t even native there…

[Caption below the panel:]

I love the instant mystery created by qualifiers like “east of the Mississippi” or “in the Northern Hemisphere.”
