KFC buckets was where my head went too, but obviously the colors make no sense and neither do the rims. The stripes evoke KFC, though.
On the GoComics site someone suggested it might have been a “rabbit cemetery” with the top hats magicians might have pulled them out of… That makes a bit more sense graphically.
Relax. It was also mentioned in the title of this post. But I agree, I’d also give a round of applause to that magician you referenced, especially if he shared it around.

Sometimes the colorist isn’t on board with the joke.

It’s bucket kicking good?
If there is such a thing as a chicken cemetery, is there a place where they bury roosters?

I’m wondering if those are lids instead of brims. But yeah, oddly drawn.

Yes, I was thinking of the classic “pulling a chicken out of a hat” magic trick myself!

But those hats are always black top hats. I’ve never seen a top hat with colored strips on it, unless it was worn by a circus clown.

Stan, if that was in response to my post, I was being entirely tongue-in-cheek. This is indeed a CIDU for me.
Though a magician who said “I will pull a chicken out of my hat” and pulled out an actual bucket of KFC would get a BIG hand from me for the humor!

FBS: No need for a rooster cemetery. They are the main ingredient in coq au vin.

Monty Python had a sketch about an animal sanctuary that sheltered animals a little too late: the staff tossed feed to hams, chicken parts, etc.
