When I learned it was seagulls I was legitimately terrified and sad for Billie. I had a similar experience with an ill fated lunch in San Francisco many years ago.
Is that volcanic eruption in panel 5 a sign from Above that Billie is missing, in her anger at the avian seizure of her fish and chips? Yeah, somehow I think God *didn’t* have anything to do with those seagulls, but I’m not ruling other theological entities out.
Maybe from below! Could be Billie is manifesting her true powers as a Satanic priestess. Satan did say to her, “You have always been mine.” in her vision (Steeple #5).
Crows are just as bad as seagulls. Once, back when I played golf, I got a sandwich at the turn. When it was my turn to hit at the 10th, I sat the sandwich on the seat of my cart and walked to the tee. As I was addressing the ball, I looked up just in time to see a crow ascending from the cart with my sandwich in its claws.
Seagulls are much, much more aggressive than crows. I’ve had to hide down alleyways this summer to avoid gulls, who will fly directly at you to steal. Crows are quite timid by comparison. Though I did see a couple of crows totally disassemble a litter bin on the common earlier this summer. Chaos.
Poor Billie. Seaguls could be called a trash animal. Not to be too victim blaming about it but I really feel like maybe Billie should’ve kept the lip on that box closed though.
We had seagulls nesting on our roof one year. They are VERY protective of their young – they are even worse, when they have babies in their nest, than they are when they see you with chips. Every time we left the house, or arrived back by car, they’d swoop down and attack us. One of them hit my OtherHalf’s bald head with its claws and drew blood.
This was bad enough, but we run a small business from home, and we were afraid our customers would be attacked too, so whenever someone arrived we’d dash outside, wearing a hat for our own protection, and brandishing a broomstick, we’d hold it over said customer’s head until they were safely inside. It was a very fraught summer.
The following year OtherHalf installed chicken wire over all the flat surfaces on the roof to deter the nesting. It mostly worked.
I was very upset to discover my favourite seagull story was fictitious.

NOOOOOO! NOT THE HADDOCK!!!! Seagulls are evil! And Billie missed her sign. Or was the sign the seagulls? Both?
🙁

I had a similar experience many years ago in New York City, but it was pigeons, not seagulls, and they didn’t exactly EAT my food…

Do you not want to know how far the Golem’s head do fly?

As Yoda said, seagulls are the worst.
They made her miss the fireworks.
I think Billie could parlay her sad adventure into a new version of the classic song “One Meatball” —
Little man felt so very bad,
One meat ball is all he had.
And in his dreams he can still hear that call
You get no bread with your one meat ball.
You get no fish with one flippin’ chip.
As it turns out, “One Meatball” was based on a 19th-century song titled “The Lone Fish Ball.” It’s all coming together, people! Connect the dots!
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law. Aleister Crowley was truly a seagul’s kind of degenerate.
Also, was that the head of the golem hitting the waves there?
YES!
Taking the fish as well was just adding insult to injury.

If the police believed ‘seagulls’ was why you were hiding down that alleyway, then I do too.
Question – were you in a bin?

I think she had been munching on the chips while she was walking.
Yes. Street chips.
They can carry off a Fortnum & Mason hamper too, but only with teamwork and a great deal of effort.
