I Create Funny Comics About Urban Birds And Other Critters With Unexpected Endings (28 Pics)

I make these comic strips for fun. My goal has been to write one every week. I try to make each comic into a little story with (hopefully) an unexpected twist at the end. Most of them stand alone but some have a story arc that goes through several strips.

I used to write short stories for fun and I would doodle in the margins. The stories turned into more drawing than writing and so I switched to making comics.

The birds emerged from the doodles and I stuck with them because I am terrible at drawing people! The birds have some attributes of birds, but really, they are stand-ins for humans.

I especially like the comic with the beanies flying away because (I hope) it has an unexpected ending.

I stick to a schedule. I join an online writing session every morning whether I feel like it or not. I use a random word generator as a prompt for ideas. The idea usually ends up having nothing to do with the original word, though. The slowest part for me is the drawing. I'm super slow at drawing.
