Another from this series, drawn a bit roughly as an experiment of some kind. I don’t know what to tell you except that these things are what they are.

I may have been channeling aspects of the style of a highly-admired friend, John Martz – though rest assured he draws much better than this. I’m still in love with the tone of these texts, but still seeking a good drawing approach.

The stalwart comics standby: a familiar metaphor seized upon and over-extended. I was super excited to use the word “parallelogram” in a comic, though it was in a tooth-and-nail fight with “trapezoid” for a while there.

Despite the perhaps obvious wrongness of a cat drinking a couple of beers, this one makes me feel kind of happy for the cat, it looks like it’s living the good life. And it’s not like it’s a kitten.

You see ducks with their heads underwater for whatever reason and you think, just briefly, “what if that duck drowned under suspicious circumstances?” You look around for mafia ducks, but they’re all waddling away.

I kind of drew this one “by mistake” while I was just sitting around thinking about how to draw herons for the other day’s comic about herons. There could be an amazing subtext to this I’m not aware of.

Another drunkenness comic to while away the evening with. I personally love herons and find them to be excellent companions, but this guy is slightly intimidated by them in his drunken state.

Appearing due to popular demand is this comic where birds have a clichéd conversation about art. I’m mostly into it for the attempt to do bird-appropriate speech balloons and the work with a photographic background.

This one comes with a nod to Kath and Kim who, in their inimitable way, talked about an “escape goat” in one episode. The idea sounded charming and I wanted to make a hopefully charming comic about such a goat.

Another comic from the endless storybook universe of Rilla’s and my brains. Starring Meow Meow Cat from the comic “Hello Meow Meow“, this time even more sad and alone. Sorry, Meow Meow Cat.
