Sure would be neat if 19 year-old Levi would have put some sort of NOTES at the bottom of the page so whatever this joke/reference is wasn’t COMPLETELY LOST on readers of the comic… Yeah, yeah, he didn’t have the internet, and was grabbing stuff at random from this book of Quotes he had (still around here somewhere, I’m sure.). Excuses, excuses…
It’s clearly from a French version of Aesop’s The Fox and The Crow, and if you’re really invested, you can go check out this French/English comparison by clicking these words.
Stupid “clever” 19 year-old Levi… :/
