Original Commentary
It's been a long time since we've seen a bird, of any gender, in either of our comics. Birds are portrayed a bit differently in YSIF and ND, they look more human in ND and look more bird-like in YSIF. Here is an example of the two styles together. No points for guessing who she is (and no, there is no relation to the girl in the link above and this girl).. -Isabel

Modern Commentary
It's a simple misdirect joke but I like it. Brisbane's line was originally "Did I wear the ascot for nothing?" but I think we'd need another panel for him to react to Tina's line - Terrence
