[Image description: comic by pet_foolery on Instagram, in series of 9 panels. Each image shows cartoonish but realistic animals separating or meeting each other.

Panel 1 Crocodile: "See ya later, alligator." Alligator: "In a while, crocodile."

Panel 2: Cow with a tag in her ear: "Until next time, porcupine." Porcupine: "Ta ta for now, dairy cow"

Panel 3: Crested Penguin: "Talk again soon, raccoon!" Raccoon: "Until then, penguin!"

Panel 4: Mosquitoes (above water): "Peace out, trout." Trout (in water): "Adios, mosquitoes."

Panel 5: Cockatiel (smiling): "What's the matter, death adder?" Death adder: "Nothing much! What's up with you, cockatoo?!"

Panel 6: Cockatiel (annoyed): "What? I'm a cockaTIEL not a cockaTOO." Death adder (embarrassed): "Oh... uhhh. Hold on, let me think of one. (pause) Ummm..."

Panel 7: Death adder (cautiously, talking to a unimpressed cockatiel): "Uh... nothing much... I hope you are... feeling well, cockatiel?"

Panel 8: Cockatiel (unimpressed and annoyed, talking to a grumpy death adder): "Wow. That's the best you could come up with? Seriously? (pause) Didn't even rhyme."

Panel 9: Death adder (alone in the image, with a very full belly and a very smug expression): "Thanks for the meal, cockatiel."
