Tortoise: By jing! Here come li'l ol Gopo Gossum back from his trip!
Alphonse Alligator: Howdy Gopo! Come along an' join the fish-fry!
Corky Porcupine: Right! We is frying a mess of mighty fine fish!
Fish: Help! Help! Cannibals! How come you fryin' me? Fishes is animals too!
Tideland Owl: Yeah, but we're not the same species, so it isn't cannibalism
Pink thing: GLMTX

The author writes:

I mean, if a shark eats another species of fish, it's not considered cannibalism, so if an owl (Or tortoise/alligator/porcupine/"gossum") eats a fish it REALLY shouldn't be considered cannibalism.

Original comic: Gopo Gossum!, from MAD #23, May 1955, page 2.
