An xkcd on a theme that comes up in other strips (especially Zits):

When all else fails, send a pigeon.
(Hat tip to Fatemah Abdollahi.)

You know, I figured that was a pigeon from context, but it looks sufficiently like an owl that at least one other person who posted about the strip thought it was one.

Clearly the other person, Robert, is familiar with Harry Potter where owls ARE the default mail carrier.

Damn! I missed that, and put the owlishness down to Randall Munroe’s imperfect draftmanship.
