I told you those ducks couldn't be trusted. (It was those beady little eyes. Like dark pools of bottomless evil.) They just wanted to lure Rusty into a trap. Little spotted dog, it's up to you and the Jack Elrod Ball to keep Rusty out of danger. It's up to you to keep Larry and Moe from spotting our young photographer, and it looks like you've got your work cut out for you since Rusty's plan to sneak up on the ducks has failed miserably because he hasn't quite gotten the hang of the silent hunter walk and scared them all off before he was even remotely close to the lake. I guess we should start hoping that Larry and Moe can't hear very well, otherwise there's going to be trouble.
Or perhaps not. At first I thought that those ducks were members of the Avian Empire, but now I'm not so sure. I think that they just might be on the human side of the conflict and have not only alerted Rusty to the presence of the no good thief who stole his camera, but have also caused him to get angry enough to turn into the tiny Hulk-like creature he seems to be changing into in panel three. Of course, they could be part of the Empire and they could have willingly set Rusty's transformation in motion because they know that once he transforms, he'll want to destroy friend and foe alike (which won't really matter to them since they've wisely decided to fly away to another pond where they will no doubt be sending out watery message ripples to be deciphered by the Avian's eyes in the sky and then relayed to the almighty Kookaburra).
