Should-be Poetry
The ending “ough” has at least four different pronunciations in the English language. Is there any construction that has more? Why can’t we just stick with one? Better yet, let’s just get rid of it...

I heard this song playing in the store today, and I thought, “No, I don’t think Floyd’s going anywhere.” He can’t just break the tradition, though, so he’s changing his name. He may also put on a...

The best music comes from the inside. Unfortunately, Lewis has quite a bit of darkness and dreariness inside him. I wonder how the community is doing handling even one of him.

You know, I really have no idea if woodpeckers sing or not. Maybe they do. I was too lazy to look it up. Any person who is even moderately knowledgeable about birds probably knows. Even so, they...
View ArticleNight
A group of owls is known, of course, as a parliament. I guess these owls are not sure whether two of them can constitute a group. I’d just call them “a couple.” I think you’d need at least five or...
View ArticleMoving
I am actually moving as well, several states (and thus several miles) away from where I currently live. Unfortunately, that makes it more difficult for those who wish to visit me than it does for...
View ArticleOne Bird
I guess this one’s a bit depressing. Then again, so are most of the ones with Lewis in them. Still, when a line like “one bird murder” comes to you, you just have to use it somehow.
View ArticleHunting
Darryl is obviously a better hunter in autumn. Unfortunately, many of the bugs he likes to eat have left the area by the time the leaves have fully turned. I guess he’ll have to stick to the bird...
View ArticleMore bugs
Now, this is another time when I think I’ve come up with a novel idea but someone out there has actually already done it. I’m certain there has to be someone out there with a dead bug bird feeder....
View ArticleDrowning
Personally, I’d recommend staying away from the water in the kiddie pool, because no matter how stressed or depressed you are, there can’t be anything in there worth drinking after the kids are done...
View ArticleDisagreement
As a good mother, Edna is, of course, very concerned with her children’s health. She doesn’t want them to eat things that are bad for them. She also has to consider the fact that they each have...
View ArticleDisgusting
I vowed early on to completely avoid any and all bird poo jokes in my comic, mainly because everybody who ever does a comic with birds in it seems to do a bird poo joke eventually. I also vowed to...
View ArticleSignals
I’ve never been a parent, so I don’t really know anything about that. I have been a human being with stress, however, and I think a lot of times people (myself included) get stressed over things that...
View ArticleEven more adoption
Yeah, I know that’s weird. How could a bird be raised by rabbits? That’s not even possible. … Stay tuned.
View ArticleBunnies
So, yeah, Tina was raised by rabbits. Now she has one of her own! Not sure how she will take care of it. Just make sure it doesn’t make it into the people’s garden.
View ArticleGrammar
This is the entire reason why I highly enjoy Mandarin Chinese. The grammar is incredibly simple and follows a simple pattern, all the time. There are no verb conjugations. There are only three...
View ArticleMore Bunny
Some rabbits do sometimes climb trees, though they don’t normally get into the very high branches. Most often they jump into the trees, which was probably the case with this bunny. She may have also...
View ArticleRabbit Dad
Now, that’s a father that cares about his children, enough to bring himself to physical harm in order to try to teach them something. Hopefully Tina’s adopted bunny doesn’t try anything like that....
View ArticleAccent
Hummingbirds are always moving, so it seems like it would be difficult for them to communicate with each other. It’s even more difficult when one of them was raised by rabbits, and learned to speak...
